Returns less than one year are not annualized. Net-of-CIM-fees performance returns through April 30, 2024 are calculated by deducting the actual CIM investment management fee from the gross returns after which they are calculated by reducing monthly composite return by a model fee of 0.0500%. This equates to a model annual fee of 0.60%, which is the highest tier of the standards fee schedule.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance.

Notes:

1. CIM is an independent registered investment adviser. CIM was established in 2007 and primarily manages fixed income products for high-net-worth, ultra-high-net worth, and institutional clients.
2. The Taxable Market Duration composite includes portfolios that invest in taxable bonds with a focus on taxable municipal bonds. The objective of the composite is to track and/or outperform the benchmark in any given cycle. This strategy is to enhance portfolio income/total returns that are similar to or higher than that of its benchmark, the US Aggregate Bond index. Other major statistical factors are considered when constructing portfolios but may not be primary constraints such as duration position, sector allocation, credit quality selection and bond structure. Leverage and derivatives are not used.
3. The composite consists of fully discretionary, fee paying accounts under management, including terminated accounts for the period they were fee paying accounts. The composite's creation date is *September 30, 2021 and the composite's inception date is October 31, 2021.
4. The US dollar is the currency used to express performance.
5. The benchmark for the composite is the US Aggregate Bond Index which is a broad-based, total-return index comprised of approximately 12,297 investment grade, US dollar denominated, taxable issuers of fixed-rate bonds. The index includes Treasuries, corporate bonds, MBS, ABS and CMBS bonds. Please note an investor cannot invest directly in an index.
6. Gross-of-fees performance returns represent returns prior to the deduction of management fees but after all trading expenses. Net-of-CIM-fees performance returns through April 30, 2024 are calculated by deducting the actual CIM investment management fee from the gross returns after which they are calculated by reducing monthly composite return by a model fee of 0.0500%. This equates to a model annual fee of 0.60%, which is the highest tier of the standards fee schedule. Net of CIM Fee is considered GIPS supplement information, since some accounts may incur additional wrap fees for investment management and custodial fees, which have are not included in CIM net performance.

7. The performance numbers include the reinvestment of income and capital gains.
8. Internal dispersion is calculated when five or more portfolios were in the composite for the entire year using the asset-weighted standard deviation of those portfolios that were included in the composite for an entire year. The 3-Year Standard Deviation represents the annualized standard deviation of actual composite and benchmark returns, using the rolling 36-months ended each year-end.
9. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Actual results may differ from the composite results depending upon the size of the account, investment objectives, guidelines and restrictions, inception of the account and other factors.
10. The fee schedule is: 0.60%. Investment advisory fees are negotiable based on account size, investment strategy and relationship type and may differ between accounts. Investments in the strategy carry risks, including possible loss of principal. Carefully consider the Strategy’s investment objectives, risks, and expenses before investing. Certain information has been obtained from third-party sources believed to be reliable, but we cannot guarantee its accuracy or completeness.
