those needs with cash management, fixed income and equity custom solutions. These solutions
are available to the following clients:
Local Government Investment Pools referred to as “LGIPs” or “LGIP Funds”
o Stable NAV Local Government Investment Pools referred to as “Stable NAV
LGIPs”
o Floating NAV Local Government Investment Pools referred to as “Floating NAV
LGIPs”

Institutional Separate Accounts
The Advisor believes an investment process informed by in-depth research and guided by risk
management leads to a diversified portfolio solution that can generate value-added investment
returns. The Advisor seeks to preserve and maximize portfolio returns through a disciplined
investment process and it seeks to strategically diversify portfolios across allowable secto rs while
carefully managing risk as market conditions change. The Firm is a research driven advisor
emphasizing a fundamental investment approach.
The Advisor specializes in investment-grade fixed income investment products as well as equity
and fixed income exchange-traded funds and mutual funds. The Advisor does not presently
provide investment advice on non-investment company equity securities.
Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. Any
restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities must be provided to the Advisor
in writing in the form of, among other things, the client’s investment policy, advisory agreement or
other written notice.
Local Government Investment Pools
The Advisor serves as Investment Advisor for LGIP Funds. These pools are organized under
state law and their participants consist of municipal entity clients such as school districts,
community colleges, counties, municipalities and other units of local government. The LGIPs,
which are exempt from registration under both the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment
Company Act of 1940 of the federal securities laws, consist of pools also referred to in this
brochure as Stable NAV LGIPs, Floating NAV LGIPs, and Term Series pools. For Stable NAV
LGIPs and Term Series pools, the Advisor is expected to maintain a constant net value per share
of $1.00, whereas the net asset value of the Floating NAV LGIPs will fluctuate as the value of
securities held by that pool fluctuates.
LGIP Funds have retained the Advisor to either provide investment advisor services in the form of
day-to-day management for these LGIPs as the direct investment advisor or as sub-advisor, or to
provide investment advisory supervisory services and to retain a sub-advisor for the day-to-day
management for these LGIPs. Many of these LGIPs are rated by a rating agency such as
Standard and Poor’s Corporation.
The Advisor also serves as the investment advisor for separate Term Series pools for LGIPs.
The Advisor provides the management of assets in the LGIPs’ Term Series pools which have a
definite duration. The durations of the Term Series pools generally range from one day up to
three years, as permitted under state statute and the LGIP’s governing documents. Term Series
pools are intended to be held until maturity. A withdrawal prior to maturity will require advance
notice and will likely carry a penalty which could be substantial in that it would be intended to
allow the Term Series pool to recoup any associated penalties, charges, losses or other costs
associated with the early redemption of the investments therein.
Separate Accounts
The Advisor provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment management solutions to
Separate Account clients. The Firm may provide separate account investment advisory services
to a broad range of institutional entities. The current client base of separate accounts includes
municipal entities, and self- insurance companies whose members are public entities and Other
Post Employment Benefit accounts, generally known as “OPEB” accounts.
For the Separate Accounts, the Advisor customizes portfolio strategies to meet each client’s
unique investment goals. Portfolios are managed consistent with each client’s investment policy
and other governing requirements. Portfolio Asset allocation, portfolio risk profile, duration,
quality, sectors and benchmarks utilized will vary by client mandate. Services provided for
separate account solutions vary depending on the clients’ investment needs and policy.
Securities utilized will vary depending on the clients’ investment needs and policy as well. See

Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2019, Prudent Man Advisors had total assets under management in the
amount of over $7.6 billion. Of this amount, $ $7,516,429,243 is discretionary assets under
management and $111,921,205 is non-discretionary assets under management.
Separate Accounts Fee Schedule
Clients will generally pay a percentage of assets under management in accordance with the
general fee schedule for Separate Accounts reflected below. Fees and services may be
negotiated with clients based on factors such as c lient type, asset class, specific investment
strategy utilized, whether a pre‐existing relationship is present, portfolio complexity, account size
or other special circumstances or requirements. In addition, accounts will generally have a
minimum annual fee in the amount of $15,000, or such amount as reflected in the investment
advisory agreement. Thus, smaller account balances may pay the minimum annual fee instead of
the basis points fees reflected for those asset levels.
1 The Advisor’s affiliate signed an Asset Purchase Agreement with David Miles and Miles Capital, Inc., an
investment advisor registered with the SEC, dated as of January 27, 2020, which upon the closing, would
expand the Advisor’s current LGIP, municipal entity and institutional client base, as well as adding high net
worth and other natural person clients. This would also expand the investment advisory services offered to
include equity securities. The transaction is expected to close by April 2020.
Separate Managed Accounts Investment Strategy Annual Asset Management Fee Cash, Ultra Short and Custom Duration up to 0.25 of 1% (25 basis points)
Custom Balanced up to 0.90 of 1% (90 basis points)
Program Model Accounts up to 0.50 of 1% (50 basis points)2
Cash Management Separate Accounts are comprised of actively managed accounts with the
primary objectives of 1) principal protection 2) liquidity and 3) income generation. Accounts can
be managed against different market benchmarks or cash alternatives with very short durations
for reference purposes. Ultra Short Accounts invest in high quality ultra-short duration investment
grade fixed income securities. Average portfolio durations typically range between 3 months and
2 years. Client accounts can invest across a broad range of investment grade sectors allowed by
policy. These may include U.S. Government, U.S. Agency, Credit and Mortgage sectors.
Accounts can be managed against different market or liability benchmarks. Custom Duration
Accounts are comprised of actively managed fixed income accounts with the objective of total
investment return from income generation and principal protection. Account trading activity will
vary by mandate. Due to their customized nature, accounts are managed against a variety of
market or custom indices that range in average duration. Client accounts can invest across
various fixed income sectors including U.S. Government, U.S. Agency, Credit and Securitized
product.
Custom Balanced Accounts are comprised of actively managed balanced accounts that would
consider investing in both fixed income and equity sectors of the market. Depending on the
mandate asset allocation and account trading activity will follow either an Income & Growth
strategy with investments primarily in the fixed income sector or a Balanced Growth strategy with
investments primarily in the equity sector. Due to their customized nature, accounts are managed
against a broad variety of market or custom indices. Client account s can invest across various
equity exchange-traded funds, mutual funds and fixed income sectors including U.S. Equities,
Global Equities, U.S. Government, U.S. Agency, Credit and Securitized product.
Program Model Accounts provide clients with the opportunity to select from different asset
allocation model portfolios which allows for investing in both fixed income and equity sectors of
the market. For these accounts, an asset allocation framework is utilized that consists of actively
managed model portfolios of mutual funds and/or exchange traded funds, as may be permitted by
the custodian. The overall asset allocation mix decision considers the investment opportunities,
investment risks and investor preferences in selecting the appropriate balance and model
allocations.
Fees paid may be negotiated and, thus, may be lower than the fees reflected above, with the fee
potentially declining for those assets over certain asset levels.
The standard fee schedules for the account types reflected above are generally subject to the
minimum annual fee. In certain limited circumstances, for eligible clients and certain strategies,
fixed fees may also be negotiated, and related accounts may be aggregated for fee calculation
purposes. Some clients may pay higher or lower fees than other clients.
Clients will generally pay custodian fees and brokerage fees, as set forth in the advisory
agreement. Please refer to Item 12 of this Brochure which discusses the Advisor’s
brokerage practices.
2 Program Model Asset Management fees for Clients may be based on asset levels of an overall program of
which they are a member, resulting in lower overall fees for the Client.
Advisory fees are generally billed to the client and payable monthly (in arrears) or at such other
time period as may be agreed upon by the parties. In the event the client prefers to pay its
advisory fees in advance, the Advisor may accommodate that request. The fees are based upon
a percentage of the market value of assets in the account on the date of valuation, the average of
the market value of the assets in the account during the billing period, or the month‐end market
value, as set forth in the terms of the applicable advisory agreement. Valuations of account
assets are determined in accordance with Advisor valuation procedures, which generally rely on
third‐party pricing services, but may permit the use of other valuation methodologies in certain
circumstances. The Firm’s valuation may differ from valuations reflected on a client’s custodial
statement.
For any advisory account in which fees are pre-paid, the client shall be entitled to a refund pro-
rated based upon the number of days remaining in the billing period following the termination date
of the account. The value of the refund will be determined using the same method as that
employed for valuing the account investments on month-end.
LGIP Funds Fee Schedule
LGIP clients will generally pay a percentage of assets under management in accordance with the
general fee schedule for LGIPs reflected below. Fees and services may be negotiated with clients
based on the extent and nature of advisory services that Prudent Man Advisors provides
depending upon the specific arrangement provided to any LGIP client. As a result, the Advisor’s
fees will differ among its LGIP client accounts and may differ based on the asset level in the
applicable LGIP. The Fees will also differ between Stable NAV LGIPs and Floating NAV LGIPs.
LGIP Funds Stable NAV LGIPs Assets Under Management Annual Asset Management Fee
All Assets up to 0.10 of 1% (10 basis points)
Floating NAV LGIPs
Assets Under Management Annual Asset Management Fee
All Assets up to 0.15 of 1% (15 basis points)
These investment advisory fees are derived from a percentage of average assets under
management. Fees are accrued daily and paid monthly in arrears as calculated and facilitated by
the fund administrator of the LGIP. Fees are based on criteria specific to client agreements, which
are negotiated and applied at different levels of average assets under management. While each
fee is negotiated based on the level of service requested by the client, the total dollars under
management and whether a sub-advisor is engaged, the base fee for fixed income advisory
services are reflected above on an annualized basis, with the fee potentially declining for those
assets over certain asset levels. These fees are disclosed in the applicable fund’s Information
Statement.3 In addition, the Advisor may waive any of its fees to support a competitive or positive
yield, or otherwise in the discretion of the Advisor. This advisory fee may also be bundled with
other services provided to the LGIPs by affiliates of the Advisor, potentially resulting in a lower
advisor fee based on the overall bundling of services. (See Item 10 for a discussion of services
provided by affiliates).
For any LGIP client for whom a sub-advisor is engaged, the Advisor recommends one or more
sub-advisors to manage the advisory client’s LGIP portfolios. Upon approval by the advisory
client, the Advisor retains the sub-advisor and provides the client with a copy of the sub-advisor
3 The Information Statements for LGIP advisory clients may be obtained from the Advisor or on the website
for the applicable LGIP.
agreement. That agreement reflects the fees payable to the sub-advisor by the Advisor. In the
event a sub-advisor is retained for LGIP clients, the Advisor may retain a percentage of the
overall investment advisory fee to compensate the Advisor for its oversight advisory functions. As
may be requested by the client, both the Advisor and sub-advisor will generally participate in the
advisory clients’ quarterly board meetings for reporting and oversight.
LGIP Term Series Fee Schedule
The general fee schedule for the Term Series is reflected below:
LGIP Term Series Assets Under Management Asset Management Fee
All Assets Fee up to 25 basis points, annualized,
with an additional annualized fee of 10
basis points for assets that require
management of collateral.
Fees for Term Series are negotiated at the LGIP client level. Management of collateral includes
letters of credit, reciprocal programs or other third party guarantees . Any Term Series fee is
exclusive of any insurance costs or third-party placement fees. As these pools are for fixed term
maturities with a stated net yield to the Term Series participants, fees for the Term Series are due
and payable to the Advisor from Term Series pool upon formation of the fixed term pool.
Participants in the LGIP Term Series are offered a net rate from which the fee is paid. Fees and
thus net yields may vary between advisory clients based on the anticipated expenses of such
pool and the competition and available investment yields within any geographic market. Term
Series Fees are set forth in the applicable LGIP Information Statement.
Fees for advisory clients are negotiable and may vary from the standard fee schedules reflected
above.
Other Provisions
Advisory contracts typically provide for termination effective between sixty and ninety days after
written notice by the client or the Advisor. In the event of termination, the Advisor is entitled to
fees earned through the effective date of termination. For any advisory account in which fees are
pre-paid, the client shall be entitled to a refund pro-rated based upon the number of days
remaining in the billing period following the termination date of the account. The value of the
refund will be determined using the same method as that employed for valuing the account
investments on month-end.
Other Fees or Expenses
There are other fees or expenses associated with advisory client accounts beyond the fees paid
to the Advisor for providing advisory services. As discussed, the Advisor pays the fees of any
LGIP sub-advisor, if applicable.
Each LGIP or other pooled investment vehicle client has additional fees related to the pool.
These pooled advisory clients typically have service agreements in place for services such as
distribution, administration, banking and custodian services. Fees or mark-ups are also paid for
brokerage fees to non-affiliated broker-dealers to obtain investments in the portfolios, auditing
fees, legal fees, trustee fees and other fees as disclosed in the applicable fund’s Information
Statement. Affiliates of the Advisor serve in various administrative and distributor or marketing
roles for the pooled advisory clients, for which these affiliates earn fees. Other fees and expense-
related information for the funds may be found in the applicable LGIP’s Information Statement or
private placement memorandum.
In addition, as stated above, separate account clients will generally pay custodian fees and
brokerage fees, as set forth in the investment advisory agreement. For more information about
brokerage, see Items 10 and 12.
Transaction-Based Compensation
Neither the Advisor nor its supervised persons receive compensation for the sale of securities or
other investment products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of
mutual funds. The Advisor does not provide any transaction-based compensation to its advisory
staff based on that employee’s individual sales production for the Advisor.

The Advisor does not currently manage any accounts with a performance-based fee structure
and therefore there is no conflict from having a performance-based fee structure being managed
alongside asset-based fees.

$1 million per term pool. In addition, each Advisor Client LGIP has a minimum duration
requirement for each term pool which generally ranges between 1-30 days. The Advisor may

Investment Strategies and Method of Analysis
Methods of Analysis
The Advisor believes that careful analysis, diligence and risk management are essential to quality
client outcomes. The primary methods of analysis the Firm employs are fundamental in nature;
the Firm does not typically rely on technical methods of analysis. The Advisor utilizes both a
bottom up and top down fundamental analysis technique with the intention of determining the
value. Top down examples include duration, sector and yield curve analysis. Bottom up analysis
typically include credit analysis, issue selection and trading considerations. These methods of
analysis are utilized across all investment strategies and assist in mitigating potential risks.
Investment Process
The Advisor utilizes a consistent investment process across discretionary and non-discretionary
investment mandates. Investment strategy formulation occurs throughout our investment process.
Fundamental research is the starting point from where we get most of our investment ideas.
Modern portfolio theory and a strong asset allocation framework are hallmarks of our approach.
Independent credit research and a consistent valuation process are also fundamental to our
process. We ground our fundamental research opinion in what we expect to earn on the potential
investment. These ideas are evaluated, both independently and collectively, to generate a
diversified portfolio strategy that is uniquely client focused. Investment ideas are executed with
skill and care by PMA professionals ensuring best execution. We then evaluate performance by
measuring returns versus relevant liability or market benchmarks. The results of that evaluation
may impact our fundamental research opinion, our future expec tations for return, our overall
portfolio strategy or our trading priorities. It’s an iterative process that allows our best ideas to
exist within our strategies throughout time.
Investment Strategies
Investment strategies, investment approach and material risks are outlined in the table below.
Risk of Loss
Although the Advisor endeavors to invest wisely, all investments involve risk of loss. The following
chart illustrates the general descriptions of the Advisor’s investment strategies, including strategy
objectives and material risks associated with each strategy. The risks do not represent all risks
associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies or methods of analysis.

Active Management Risk. The portfolio is actively managed. The Advisor and each individual
portfolio manager will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment
decisions, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results.
Call Risk. The possibility that during periods of falling interest rates, a bond issuer will “call” – or
repay – a high‐yielding bond before its maturity date. If a security is called, the proceeds may
have to be reinvested at lower interest rates resulting in a decline in income.
Concentration Risk. Investments are expected to be closely tied to a specific issuer, industry, or
benchmark. As a result, performance may be more volatile than the performance of a portfolio
that does not concentrate its investments in a particular economic industry or sector.
Counterparty Risk. The possibility that a counterparty, clearinghouse, guarantor or any service
provider to the portfolio could fail. The inability or unwillingness of others to honor obligations
could result in credit losses incurred from late payments, failed payments and default. In times of
general market turmoil, even large, well‐established financial institutions may fail rapidly with little
warning.
Credit Risk. Credit Risk can be described as the market’s assessment of the probability of default
on a required coupon or principal payment on debt by an issuer. As credit risk increases, the
price of a security decreases.
Equity Risk. The possibility of financial loss involved in holding equity in a particular investment.
Historically, the values of some or all equity investments may change in response to the
economic or market environment. If the economic environment is deteriorating or the market is
uncertain, the values of equities will generally fall and vice versa. In general, equities present
substantially higher risk than fixed income investments.
General Economic and Market Conditions Risk. The success of the portfolio's investment
program may be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates,
availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, and national and
international political circumstances. These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities
prices and the liquidity of investments. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity could impair profitability
or result in losses.
Government Intervention in Financial Markets Risk. Instability in the financial markets has led the
U.S. government to take unprecedented actions to support certain financial institutions and
certain segments of the financial markets that experienced extreme volatility. Regulatory
organizations may take future legislative or regulatory actions that may affect the operations of a
portfolio or its investments or preclude a portfolio's ability to achieve its investment objective.
Government Obligations Risk. U.S. government obligations may be adversely impacted by
changes in interest rates. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies, authorities, instrumentalities
and sponsored enterprises (such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) have historically involved little
risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, the maximum potential liability of the issuers
of some of these securities may greatly exceed their current resources and no assurance can be
given that the U.S. government would provide financial support to any of these entities if it is not
obligated to do so by law.
Interest Rate Risk. The values of some or all investments may change in response to movements
in interest rates. If interest rates rise, the values of debt securities will generally fal l and vice
versa. In general, the longer the average maturity or duration of an investment portfolio, the
greater the sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline because of adverse events or circumstances
that directly relate to conditions at the issuer or any entity providing it credit or liquidity support.
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity describes the cost of trading a security. Market conditions, type of
security, size of issue and specific security features can influence the cost of trading. In an
environment where there is significant uncertainty, market liquidity can worsen leading to high
cost of trading. U.S. Treasuries are among the most liquid sectors.
Market Risk. Market Risk includes the impact on price when there is a change in interest
rates. As rates rise, bond prices fall. The longer the maturity or duration of a security, there is a
more significant impact on the price of a security due to a change in interest rates. Conversely
when rates fall, bond prices rise.
Prepayment Risk. Prepayment risk is the risk associated with the early unscheduled return of
principal on a fixed income security. Generally prepayment risk increases as rates decline,
causing investors to reinvest the cash flow at lower rates. Additionally, the risk of prepayment
makes the timing of cash flow of prepayment sensitive securities difficult to predict.
Withdrawal Risk. Specific to Floating NAV LGIPs, withdrawals may be subject to restrictions
implemented by the LGIP, including restrictions on withdrawal dates and notice requirements. As
a result, funds should not be invested in the Floating NAV LGIP if those funds may be needed on
shorter notice or on other withdrawal dates. However, the LGIP may elect to provide more
liquidity to the pool’s withdrawal restrictions. Any withdrawal restriction will be set forth in the
applicable LGIP’s Information Statement. With respect to Term Series pools, such pools are
intended to be held until maturity. A withdrawal prior to maturity will require advance notice as
required by the applicable LGIP and will likely carry a penalty which could be substantial.
For more information on Stable NAV LGIP, Floating NAV LGIP, or Term Series Risk for an
applicable LGIP, please see the Information Statement for such LGIP Fund.
Mutual Fund and ETF Fees. Investing in mutual funds and ETFs (collectively, “Funds”) may be
more expensive than other investment options offered in your advisory account. Operating a
mutual fund involves costs, including shareholder transaction costs, investment advisory fees,
and marketing and distribution expenses. Funds pass along these costs to investors in several
ways. Fund fees and expenses are charged directly to the pool of assets the Fund invests in and
are reflected in each Fund’s share price. These fees and expenses are an additional cost to you
and are not included in the fee amount in your account statements. Each mutual fund and ETF
expense ratio (the total amount of fees and expenses charged by the Fund) is stated in its
prospectus. The expense ratio generally reflects the costs incurred by shareholders during the
mutual fund’s or ETF’s most recent fiscal reporting period. Current and future expenses may
differ from those stated in the prospectus. Some Funds may charge,
and not waive, a redemption
fee on certain transaction activity in accordance with their prospectuses.

that all PMA Staff have an obligation to perform their job lawfully, honestly and ethically. In
particular, the Code requires associated persons to comply with the Federal securities laws and
adhere to certain standards of business conduct. In addition, as an investment adviser, the
Advisor and its staff: must act in a fiduciary capacity and carry out their duties such that they do
not subordinate the advisory clients’ interest to their own personal interests; avoid conflicts of
interest and the appearance of any conflict with the advisory clients; and conduct their personal
transactions in a manner which does not interfere with the advisory clients’ portfolio transactions.
The Code specifically prohibits violations of the antifraud provisions, including insider trading and
the misuse of material non-public information or customer information.
The Code also requires that PMA Staff disclose outside business activities to the Advisor for
approval. In particular, PMA Staff are required to disclose to the Advisor, any outside business
activities before engaging in such activity. Outside business activities may include a wide range of
activities including, but not limited to, employment with an outside entity, acting as an
independent contractor to an outside party, serving as an officer, director, or partner or acting as
a finder, and receiving other compensation for services rendered outside the scope of
employment with the Advisor. The Code also prohibits the giving or rec eipt of certain gifts and
gratuities. Gifts of anything of value and gratuities to anyone relating to the Advisor or its affiliates'
businesses are limited to $100 per year per person. This limitation does not include reasonable
business entertainment. Anything of value given to a person that is not defined as business
entertainment is a gift.
In addition, on an annual basis, PMA Staff are required to (1) certify that he or she has read the
Code, (2) acknowledge his or her understanding of and compliance with the Code, and (3)
confirm certain other provisions of the Code. The Code provides for reporting of Code violations,
sanctions, record retention, and a review of the Code on an annual basis.
Personal Securities Transactions-Reporting Requirements
The Code also requires PMA Staff to report to the Advisor and its affiliates any personal
securities holdings and transactions in which they have a direct or indirect beneficial interest, and
provides for certain restrictions and pre-clearance requirements relating to any personal
securities transactions.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
The Code of Ethics includes policies and procedures for the review of personal securities
transactions in staff and staff related accounts periodically done by Compliance by exception
reports or in the absence of exception reports, reviewing monthly statements and/or
Confirmations. The Code also currently provides for trading restrictions, as may be applicable, for
securities that may be on a restricted list, securities that the person knows are being considered
for the purchase or sale by an advisory client, or are being purchased or sold by an advisory
client, securities of an initial public offering (except as may be permitted for an initial public
offering in a registered investment company fund or under FINRA Rule 5130).The Code also
requires pre-clearance of municipal securities issued in a state in which the Advisor’s affiliate
provides financial advisory services and trades in certain ETFs. The Code prohibits the purchase
of municipal securities in those states for issuances that contain an optional call provision
permitting the issuer to redeem or call securities within five years of a proposed purchase date
and imposes additional restrictions on the affiliate’s Public Finance staff. Additional pre-clearance
requirements and restrictions will be implemented if the Advisor provides advisory services for
additional asset classes, including equity securities.
The Advisor and its Associated Persons do not recommend to clients, or buy or sell, securities in
which the Advisor or a related person has a material financial interest.
A copy of the Code of Ethics is available and will be provided to any client or prospective client
upon request.

Selection of Broker-Dealers
The Advisor utilizes a list of approved counterparties for the Advisor’s trading activity. All
securities transactions shall be executed with counterparties on the approved counterparty list.
Broker-dealers are considered for inclusion on the Approved Counterparty List after considering a
variety of factors, including but not limited to: execution capabilities, investment ideas, research
capabilities, accessibility of trading personnel, responsiveness and financial responsibility. Adding
or removing broker-dealers from the approved counterparty list requires approval by the Chief
Investment Officer. The Prudent Man Advisory Committee, referred to as the “PMAC” (which
consists of the Chief Investment Officer, the Chief Executive Officer, and Portfolio Managers, with
the Chief Compliance Officer or other Compliance designee serving in an advisory capacity)
ratifies the approved counterparty list on a quarterly basis and provides oversight as appropriate.
The selection of these trading partners is not influenced by any services or benefits offered to the
Advisor or its affiliates. Any advisory client may restrict the Advisor or sub-advisor from
purchasing investment products through an affiliate of the Advisor or sub-advisor, if applicable.
The Advisor does not maintain an inventory of securities. In addition, the Advisor will not execute
securities transactions through its broker-dealer affiliate, PMA Securities, LLC.
Soft Dollars
The term “soft dollars” refers to a means of paying brokerage firms or other third parties for
products and services through commission revenue, based on the volume of brokerage
commission revenues generated from securities transactions executed through brokers by an
investment manager on behalf of advisory clients. The Advisor does not have any soft dollar
arrangements. For the sake of clarification, the Advisor uses research to assist the Firm in
making its investment decisions, not jus t for those accounts whose fees may be considered to
have been used to pay for such research. However, such research products and services are
provided to all investment advisers who utilize these firms, and are not forwarded pursuant to soft
dollar arrangements. Nonetheless, the Advisor receives a benefit from these products and
services because it does not have to produce or pay for them and the Advisor may have an
incentive to execute orders with brokers who provide research products and services, rather than
its clients’ interests in receiving best execution.
Client Referrals
The Advisor does not use client brokerage to compensate or otherwise reward brokers for client
referrals.
Directed Brokerage
The Advisor has discretion to select the broker-dealers for advisory clients and currently does not
permit clients to direct brokerage. If a client were to require that the Advisor direct brokerage
trades through a particular broker-dealer, the Advisor would advise that it may be unable to obtain
the most favorable execution of client transactions if the client directs brokerage and that directing
brokerage may be more costly for clients.
Trade Aggregation
When the Advisor trades the same security on the same day for multiple client accounts, the
Firm’s general practice is to group or aggregate the orders, which may reduce transaction costs.
Block trading can often be an effective tactic for achieving best execution for advisory clients.
Best Execution
Advisor personnel pursue best execution when trading unless specifically directed otherwise by
the client. In general, Advisor personnel attempt to obtain three or more bids or offers when
effecting a transaction in a security. At times, however, it may be difficult or impossible to find
multiple offerings or bids for a security. In those instances, fewer offerings or bids are acceptable.
In certain instances, an order may need to be worked at a pre-determined level with a specific
broker-dealer.
Orders for securities in highly liquid sectors are generally executable (or prices are visible) on an
electronic platform and competitive execution is more easily achievable. Orders for securities in
less liquid sectors will more likely be executed outside of electronic exchanges. Order size (trade
amount) may also be an important consideration to receive best execution for clients.
Trade reviews are conducted by the Chief Investment Officer on a regular basis, with oversight by
both the Compliance department and the PMAC.
Allocation of Investment Opportunities
The Advisor has implemented allocation policies and procedures designed to fairly and equitably
allocate investment opportunities among its advisory clients in keeping with its fiduciary duty. The
Advisor has clients with a variety of investment objectives and investment policies. The Advisor
shall allocate purchases to and sales from client portfolios in a manner that the Advisor
determines is fair to all clients given these objectives and policies. The effectiveness of an
allocation methodology depends on various factors including different client goals, availability of
account capital, the size of the account, the nature of the investment opportunity and its relative
liquidity (or lack thereof). Certain client portfolios allow different types of securities given clients’
benchmarks and/or investment restrictions that might apply. The Advisor will identify and consider
all portfolios having a fit and need for a particular security when allocating investments. All things
being equal and to the extent possible, the Firm will allocate trades on a prorated basis based on
the total asset value of the account.
When the Advisor sells securities to meet client cash flow or duration needs, there are no
allocation issues. When sales are based on relative value dec isions versus competing
alternatives, it is the Firm’s objective to make sales across the range of accounts holding the
security, as long as the alternatives comply with client objectives, gain or loss constraints or other
client-specific restrictions.
If the Firm seeks to sell a security due to a change in the security’s characteristics or credit risk,
the entire position may be put out for bid. In some cases, the entire position may not be sold in
one transaction due to market conditions, client considerations or restrictions.
The Advisor will allocate trades given client-specific needs and restrictions, which can limit the
Firm’s ability to simultaneously sell the security from all portfolios holding the security. All else
being equal and to the extent possible, the Firm will allocate sales of securities on a prorated
basis based on the total asset value of the account.
Review of Brokerage Practices
The Advisor conducts a review of its brokerage practices regarding the items discussed above,
and tests the implementation of its procedures as part of the Advisor’s annual supervisory review.
To the extent a sub-advisor is engaged, the Advisor conducts a review of the sub-advisor‘s
brokerage practices regarding selected items discussed above, and tests the implementation of
its procedures as part of the Advisor’s annual supervisory review process.

The Advisor reviews client portfolios. In particular, the Portfolio Managers perform pre-trade and
post-trade reviews of portfolio holdings for compliance with applicable state statutes, investment
policies and other applicable requirements. This is accomplished through the use of Bloomberg
Asset and Investment Manager (“AIM”), a trade order management and investment policy
compliance system. Each client’s investment policy is modeled in AIM. Reviews are done to
monitor that individual transactions comply with the investment policies, as well as overall metrics
and standards are followed. In addition, a post-trade review is done for LGIP Floating NAV and
Separate accounts through the use of Clearwater Analytics, a data validation and reporting
system.
Furthermore, the Chief Investment Officer and Compliance departments have implemented
controls and conduct additional reviews at least quarterly for compliance with investment
objectives, guidelines and internal procedures. The PMAC also reviews portfolio risk positioning
and relative performance on a quarterly basis. More frequent reviews may occur because of
material changes to client circumstances or the market, political or economic environment.
In addition, for Stable NAV LGIPs, the Advisor and its affiliate, PMA Financial Network, review
compliance with certain ratings criteria reporting requirements. In particular, associates in the
Fund Administration and Compliance departments review on a weekly basis compliance with
mark-to-market directives and weighted average maturity if directed by the LGIPs and the Fund
Administration department provides weekly data on the Stable NAV LGIPs to the applicable rating
agency, if any.
For Floating NAV LGIPs, the Advisor and its affiliate, PMA Financial Network, review price
changes and the effects it may have on the net asset value. In particular, the Fund Administration
department reviews daily pricing reports and daily pricing comparisons. In addition, the
Compliance department reviews impact reports and pricing challenges on a periodic or as
needed basis.
Advisory clients receive regular written investment reports. Generally, the frequency of the reports
will be no less than quarterly, unless the client instructs otherwise. Reports will include asset
allocation, individual investment data, monthly and annual investment performance data, and
other account related or general economic and market information as appropriate. For the LGIP
advisory clients, these reports also include a report reflecting compliance wi th the investment
holdings and restrictions. Separate account clients generally receive their reports on a monthly
basis and also have the ability to access on demand internet based reporting.
For advisory accounts in which the Advisor manages the assets , the Advisor or its affiliate
monitors the assets for any credit concerns during such time as the client holds such assets. For
LGIPs which are managed by a sub-advisor, assets are monitored for any credit concerns by the
sub-advisor, with oversight from the Advisor.

The Advisor does not have any arrangements where it is paid cash or receives some benefit
(including commissions, equipment or non-research services) from a non-client in connection with
giving advice to advisory clients.
The Advisor also does not have any arrangements where it directly or indirectly compensates any
third-party for client referrals. Affiliates of the Advisor provide services for the Advisor in marketing
the services of the affiliated entities and the Advisor pays PMA Financial Network for its share of
these and other expenses such as salary and benefits, rent, and utilities through a cost share
agreement. In addition, while not a fee for client referrals, the Advisor has paid and may in the
future pay transition fees or other fees to investment advisors for payment for such assets or their
assistance in the transition of the management of assets to the Advisor. Such fees were and
would be disclosed to applicable client prior to the transition and payment of any such fee.

Separate Accounts
The Advisor does not have custody over any separate account advisory client funds or securities.
The Advisor maintains these client funds and securities with a “qualified custodian” selected by
such client. Clients should receive at least quarterly statements from their qualified custodian that
holds and maintains client assets. Clients are encouraged to contact their custodian and request
copies of their statements if they are not receiving them. The account values reflected in the
Advisor’s client reports may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures,
reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities and are not intended as a
substitute for accounts statements provided by the qualified custodian. The Advisor provides
clients with monthly or quarterly client reports depending on the terms of the agreement , which
clients should compare to the statements they receive from the qualified custodian. The Advisor
may in the future have limited custody for fee deductions for certain separate accounts.
LGIPs/Other Pooled Investment Vehicles
The Advisor has custody over LGIP and other pooled investment vehicles advisory client funds
and securities for those pools in which its affiliate, PMA Financial Network, LLC serves as
administrator or similar fund accountant/transfer agency position. These advisory client funds
and securities are maintained with a “qualified custodian.” These qualified custodians are the
custodians for the pooled investment vehicles advisory clients. Unless otherwise stated in the
relevant investment advisory agreement, the Advisor would have access to assets in the pooled
investment vehicles portfolios even though these assets are maintained with a qualified custodian
because the Advisor, through PMA Financial Network, has the ability to direct those assets as a
part of its administrative services for such advisory clients. For instance, PMA Financial Network,
as the administrator for the Stable NAV LGIPs, Floating NAV LGIPs, and Term Series pools,
wires funds as directed by the Advisor, sub-advisor, or LGIP participants, and otherwise pays
LGIP expenses and issues checks for the Funds. In addition, the Advisor as investment adviser
to an LGIP, may direct the administrator/operational manager to transfer funds to make
investments for such pools, and may direct proceeds of matured investments for further
investments or redemptions.
Participants in these LGIPs and other pooled investment vehicles do not receive statements from
the fund custodian. Instead, the funds are subject to an annual audit and the audited financial
statements are distributed to each participant/investor. The audited financial statements are
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles by a firm registered
with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and are distributed by the funds to
participants within 120 days of the respective fund’s fiscal year end. The audits cover any
portfolios in the name of the fund, which, at present, include the Stable NAV LGIPs, the Floating
NAV LGIPs, and Term Series pools.
In addition, the Advisor has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures reasonably
designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws, including the safeguarding of client
assets from conversion or inappropriate use by Advisory personnel and others. These safeguards
include, among other things, conducting background checks on personnel for the Advisor and its
affiliates, requiring multiple authorizations to approve wire transfers and the movement of assets,
and undergoing a periodic audit over the internal control surrounding fund administration (SOC
No. 1 Type 2 Report), including the safekeeping of LGIP client assets.

For Separate Accounts, a contract between each advisory client and the Advisor provides
whether the account is a discretionary or non-discretionary account and, as part of the contract,
includes the client’s investment policy which outlines specific guidelines for the types of securities
and maturities that can be bought and sold for a specific portfolio. Within the restrictions and
guidelines of this contract or “advisory agreement”, for discretionary accounts, the Advisor is
granted authority to determine the securities and amounts bought or sold without obtaining client
consent for each transaction. Advisory clients may place limitations on this discretion in the
advisory agreement. Certain clients may not choose to provide discretion due to their investment
policy or applicable statutory restrictions. Procedures for the client’s oversight of investment
selections for a non-discretionary account are to be agreed upon at the commencement of the
relationship, subject to changes as may be agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
client.
For Stable NAV LGIPs and Floating NAV LGIPs and other pooled investment vehicles,
investment decisions are made on a discretionary basis by the Advisor or sub-advisor. For the
Term Series pools, the standard process is that the pools are established by the governing body
of the client through the execution of a Certificate of Designation (or other corporate oversight).
The Advisor has such discretionary authority as delegated to the Advisor or as set forth in the
certificate of designation or other applicable document, although clients may impose additional
limitations on investment authority by requiring pre-investment approval or other limitations
through a certificate of designation applicable to the particular Term Series pool. Advisory clients
may also establish Term Series pools without investment discretion.

The Advisor’s intent is to ensure that the advisory clients’ best interests are represented at all
times. Investments for the Advisor’s current clients (both for LGIP and separate account clients),
with limited exceptions, are limited to fixed income products and thus, the need to vote proxies is
not likely. In the event an account includes a security for which voting is required, the Advisor will
act in accordance with its procedures respecting Voting Client Securities.4
Unless otherwise agreed, for separate account clients, including any asset allocation accounts, in
the event the account includes a security for which voting is required, the Advisor will seek the
direction of the client. In the event no instructions are provided, the Advisor will vote the proxy
based on its sole understanding of the issue as may be provided in the proxy solicitation in
accordance with the procedures set forth below. For the Firm’s LGIP clients, unless otherwise
required by the contract with the client, the Advisor will not seek or take direction from the LGIP
Board or its participants on voting and will act in accordance with the procedures below.
As reflected above, the Advisor has the authority to vote the securities of its clients in certain
limited circumstances. The policy is generally to vote proxies in the manner that it believes is
consistent with achieving the applicable client’s stated objectives. Absent a particular reason to
the contrary, it is the Advisor’s general policy to vote proxies in accordance with the
recommendation of the underlying portfolio company’s management on administrative or routine
matters. In the case of non‐recurring or extraordinary matters, the Advisor votes on a case‐by‐
case basis in accordance with the goal of achieving the relevant client’s stated objectives. It is the
Advisor’s policy to abstain from voting proxies when it no longer holds the investment for which a
vote is being requested, even if it is entitled to vote based on its ownership as of the record date.
The Advisor may, on occasion, determine to abstain from voting a proxy or a specific proxy item
when it concludes that the potential benefit of voting is outweighed by the cost or that it is not in
the client’s best interest to vote. In making this determination, the Advisor may consider a variety
of factors, including, but not limited to: the costs associated with exercising the proxy (including,
but not limited to, travel, registration, legal and/or power of attorney expenses); any legal
restrictions on trading resulting from the exercise of a proxy; and the benefit to the clients from
the specific proposal. In addition, the Advisor may decline to vote proxies that are not material to
the investment process (for example, standard proxies on money market funds).
In furtherance of Advisor’s goal to vote proxies in the manner that it believes is consistent with
achieving the applicable client’s stated objectives, the Advisor follows procedures designed to
identify and address material conflicts that may arise between the Advisor’s interests and those of
its clients before voting proxies on behalf of such client. If the Advisor determines that any
conflict or potential conflict is not material, the Advisor may vote proxies notwithstanding the
existence of such conflict or potential conflict or may abstain from voti ng such proxies in the event
that it concludes that the potential benefit of voting is outweighed by the cost or that it is not in the
client’s best interest to vote. If the Advisor determines that a conflict of interest is material, one or
more methods may be used to resolve the conflict, including: disclosing the conflict to clients and
obtaining their consent before voting; having the client engage another party to vote the proxy on
its behalf; engaging a third party to recommend a vote with respect to t he proxy based on
application of the policies set forth herein; or such other method as is deemed appropriate under
the circumstances given the nature of the conflict.
In the event there is a sub-advisor for an account for which the Advisor is required to vote a
security, the responsibility for proxy voting for the account lies with the sub-advisor. Thus, the
4 With the anticipated expansion into equity securities subsequent to this date, the Firm will use a proxy
voting service, and will update its Proxy Voting Policy.
Advisor shall review the sub-advisor’s procedures related to proxy voting during its review of the
sub-advisor to review for compliance with its policy.
Investment adviser clients of the Firm may request a copy of the Firm’s Proxy Voting Policy, as
well as relevant proxy voting records, by making a written request to:
