MCCA offers several investment allocation strategies that include equity and fixed income allocations, using both active and passive strategies, in varying percentages; some of these strategies include hedging and/or private equity components. MCCA selects third-party investment advisory organizations (Specialist Managers) to handle the selection of specific investments consistent with the overall asset allocation strategy developed. Specialist Managers are selected based on our overall evaluation of the investment advisory organization involved, including that organizations performance against selected benchmarks, investment style within a particular asset class and related factors.

MCCA receives a fee for providing the overall asset allocation strategy in addition to other services. We will also negotiate the fees payable to the Specialist Managers on your behalf and communicate client restrictions, if any, applicable to portfolio investments and/or expense management to Specialist Managers. Access to Specialist Managers will be provided by establishing a separate account with a Specialist Manager or through the use of pooled vehicles, including mutual funds and exchange traded funds. Our ability to negotiate fees with Specialist Managers and communicate client restrictions is limited with respect to mutual funds and exchange traded funds.

MCCA monitors the performance of Specialist Managers, including their adherence to investment style and continuing suitability with respect to your overall asset allocation strategy, as well as overall expense levels. As part of this monitoring process, we employ the services of various outside consulting and research providers to obtain performance measurement, including index and peer group comparisons, and/or other services. We continuously monitor the capital markets and various asset classes.

Periodically, we may recommend that you make tactical changes to your strategic asset allocation in seeking to avoid risk or attract returns associated with investment opportunities.

IRA Rollover Recommendations

We may recommend the rollover of assets from retirement plans to individual retirement accounts (IRAs). This creates an inherent conflict of interest, as the rollover can result in increased fees and expenses for clients, which may result in higher compensation for our firm.

We acknowledge and understand these conflicts of interest and strive to always act in the best interest of our clients. We adhere to a fiduciary standard of care, which means that we are legally and ethically obligated to put our clients' interests ahead of our own. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in your best interest.
