SERVICES PROVIDED
At the outset of each client relationship, we spend time with you, asking questions, discussing your
investment experience and financial circumstances, and reviewing options for you. Based on our
review, we generally develop:
•
•
a financial outline for you based on your financial circumstances and goals and your risk
tolerance level (the “Financial Profile” or “Profile”); and
your investment objectives and guidelines (the “Investment Plan” or “Plan”).
The Financial Profile is a reflection of your current financial picture and a look to your future goals.
The Investment Plan outlines the types of investments we will make or recommend on your behalf
to meet those goals. The Profile and the Plan are discussed regularly with you, but are not
necessarily written documents.
Portfolio Management
As described above, at the beginning of a client relationship, we meet with you, gather information,
and perform research and analysis as necessary to develop your Investment Plan. Your Investment
Plan includes an asset allocation strategy for implementation. The Investment Plan will be updated
from time to time when requested by you, or when determined to be necessary or advisable by us
based on updates to your financial or other circumstances. To implement your Investment Plan, we
will manage your investment portfolio on a discretionary or a non-discretionary basis. As a
discretionary investment adviser, we will have the authority to supervise, direct, and manage your
portfolio without prior consultation with you. Under a non-discretionary arrangement, you must
be contacted prior to the execution of any trade in your account(s) under management. This can
result in a delay in executing recommended trades, which could adversely affect the performance of
your portfolio. This delay also normally means the affected account(s) will not be able to
participate in block trades, a practice designed to enhance the execution quality, timing and/or cost
for all accounts included in the block. In a non-discretionary arrangement, you retain the
responsibility for the final decision on all actions taken with respect to the portfolio.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may impose certain reasonable written restrictions on us in the
management of your investment portfolios, such as prohibiting the inclusion of certain types of
Page 4
investments in an investment portfolio or prohibiting the sale of certain investments held in the
account at the commencement of the relationship. You should note, however, that restrictions
imposed by you may adversely affect the composition and performance of your investment
portfolio. You should also note that your investment portfolio is treated individually by giving
consideration to each purchase or sale for your account. For these and other reasons, performance
of your investment portfolio within the same investment objectives, goals and/or risk tolerance
may differ and you should not expect that the composition or performance of your investment
portfolio would necessarily be consistent with similar clients of ours.
for you.
Factors
that we consider
Separate Account Managers
When appropriate and in accordance with the Investment Plan for you, we may recommend the use
of one or more Separate Account Managers, each a “SAM”. Having access to various SAMs offers a
wide variety of manager styles and offers clients the opportunity to utilize more than one SAM if
necessary to meet the needs and investment objectives of the client. We will select or recommend
in
the SAM(s) we deem most appropriate
recommending/selecting SAMs generally include your stated investment objective(s), management
style, performance, risk level, reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing and research.
The SAM(s) will be granted discretionary trading authority to provide investment supervisory
services for your portfolio, but we normally retain the discretionary authority to terminate the
SAM’s relationship or to add new SAMs without your specific consent. With respect to assets
managed by a SAM, our role will be to monitor your overall financial situation, to monitor the
investment approach and performance of the SAM(s), and to assist you in understanding the
investments of your portfolio.
may impose more restrictive account requirements than us and billing
Additionally, certain SAMs
practices may vary. In such instances, we may be required to alter our corresponding account
requirements and/or billing practices to accommodate those of the SAM(s).
Institutional Client Services
Cornerstone provides comprehensive investment consulting and administrative services to
charitable organizations. As an Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (“OCIO”) to nonprofit
organizations, we utilize a consulting-based approach to develop a customized service offering
based on each client’s specific needs and priorities. When we serve as an OCIO, Cornerstone acts as
a co-fiduciary with the institutional client. Cornerstone’s administrative services focus on the
planned gift administration needs of our institutional clients. Our available administrative services
include distribution processing, customized reporting, trust and gift annuity administration, annual
tax form preparation and state regulation compliance for various planned gift vehicles such as
charitable trusts, charitable gift annuities and donor advised funds.
Financial Planning
We offer limited financial planning services to those clients in need of such service in conjunction
with Portfolio Management services. Our limited financial planning services normally address
areas such as general cash flow planning, retirement planning and insurance analysis. The goal of
this service is to assess your financial circumstances in order to more effectively develop your
Investment Plan.
Page 5
General Consulting
In addition to the foregoing services, we may provide general consulting services to you. These
services are generally provided to institutional clients on a project basis to include matters specific
to you as and when requested by you and agreed to by us. The scope and fees for consulting
services will be negotiated with you at the time of engagement for the applicable project.
Individual Retirement Advice
When we are making investment recommendations to you regarding your retirement plan account
or individual retirement account, we are acting as fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which
laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money or otherwise are
are
compensated creates some conflicts with your financial interests, so we operate under a special
rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours.
Under this special rule's provisions, we must:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice) to you;
Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
Charge no more than what is reasonable for our services; and
Give you basic information about our conflicts of interest.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Establishing a sound fiduciary governance process is vital to good decision-making and to ensuring
that prudent procedural steps are followed in making investment decisions. We will provide
Retirement Plan consulting services to Plans and Plan Fiduciaries as described below. The
particular services provided will be detailed in the consulting agreement. The appropriate Plan
Fiduciary(ies) designated in the Plan documents (e.g., the Plan sponsor or named fiduciary) will (i)
make the decision to retain our firm; (ii) agree to the scope of the services that we will provide; and
(iii) make the ultimate decision as to accepting any of the recommendations that we may provide.
The Plan Fiduciaries are free to seek independent advice about the appropriateness of any
recommended services for the Plan. Retirement Plan consulting services may be offered
individually or as part of a comprehensive suite of services.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) sets forth rules under which Plan
Fiduciaries may retain investment advisers for various types of services with respect to Plan assets.
For certain services, Cornerstone will be considered a fiduciary under ERISA. For example, we will
act as an ERISA § 3(21) fiduciary when providing non-discretionary investment advice to the Plan
Fiduciaries by recommending a suite of investments as choices among which Plan Participants may
select. Also, to the extent that the Plan Fiduciaries retain us to act as an investment manager within
the meaning of ERISA § 3(38), we will provide discretionary investment management services to
the Plan.

Investment Selection Services
•
We will provide Plan Fiduciaries with recommendations of investment options consistent
with ERISA section 404(c). Plan Fiduciaries retain responsibility for the final determination
of investment options and for compliance with ERISA section 404(c).
• Non-Discretionary Investment Advice
We provide Plan Fiduciaries and Plan Participants general, non-discretionary investment
advice regarding asset classes and investments.
Management

Services
Investment Management via Model Portfolios
•
We will provide discretionary management of Model Portfolios among which the
participants may choose to invest as Plan options. Plan Participants will also have the
option of investing only in options that do not include Model Portfolios (i.e., the Plan
Participants may elect to invest in one or more of the mutual fund options made available in
the Plan and choose not to invest in the Model Portfolios at all).
Non-Fiduciary Services
• Participant Education
Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
We will provide education services to Plan Participants about general investment principles
and the investment alternatives available under the Plan. Education presentations will not
take into account the individual circumstances of each Plan Participant and individual
recommendations will not be provided unless a Plan Participant separately engages us for
such services. Plan Participants are responsible for implementing transactions in their own
accounts.
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
General Fee Information
Fees paid to us are also exclusive of all custodial and transaction costs paid to your custodian,
brokers or other third-party consultants. Please see
for additional
information. Fees paid to us are also separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by
mutual funds, ETFs (exchange traded funds) or other investment pools to their shareholders
(generally including a management fee and fund expenses, as described in each fund’s prospectus
or offering materials). You should review all fees charged by funds, brokers, Cornerstone and
others to fully understand the total amount of fees paid by you for investment and financial-related
services.
Portfolio Management Fees
Our annual asset-based investment advisory fees are structured using a graduated scale starting at
1% and declining thereafter. The annual tiered fee schedule, based on a percentage of assets under
management, is as follows:
Page 7
First $1,000,000
Next $500,000
Next $500,000
Next $1,000,000
Next $2,000,000
Balances over $5,000,000
1.00%
0.75%
0.65%
0.60%
0.55%
0.50%
Please note these fees have “tiers,” meaning that if your assets exceed the maximum of the first tier,
your overall fee will be a blended percentage rate that is the result of being charged the
corresponding fee for the first level of assets, plus the different corresponding fee for the next level
of assets, and so on.
At our discretion, fees may be negotiated. This fee generally includes all investment policy
development, asset allocation planning and investment management services. Depending on the
specific circumstances, we or another manager may collect the entire fee and then allocate each
party’s share according to specific arrangements agreed to by you.
We may impose a minimum portfolio value and/or a minimum fee. We may, at our discretion,
make exceptions to the foregoing or negotiate special fee arrangements where we deem
appropriate under the circumstances.
Institutional clients may pay different fees than the schedule outlined above based upon account
size and client-specific consulting needs and administrative services.
Portfolio management fees will be paid quarterly in arrears based on ending period market
valuations. This means that we will bill your account at the end of each quarter. If management
begins after the start of a quarter, fees will be prorated accordingly. Cornerstone’s billing system
adjusts fee calculations for time-weighted, capital flows (inflows and outflows) during the billing
quarter. With your authorization and unless other arrangements are made, fees are normally
debited directly from your account(s).
Either you or Cornerstone may terminate your Investment Advisory Agreement at any time, subject
to any written notice requirements in the agreement. In the event of termination, final fees will be
prorated based on the number of days that the account was managed, and any fees due to us from
you will be invoiced or deducted from your account.
Separate Account Manager Fees
The fee will vary somewhat depending on the SAM(s) used, but generally are such that, in
combination with our fee, the total does not exceed 2.00% annually. As previously disclosed, SAM
fees may be collected using different billing practices. In instances where the services of one or
more SAMs are utilized, the fee will be charged in addition to our fee and will be detailed in the
Agreement(s) signed by you.
General Consulting Fees
When we provide general consulting services to institutional clients, these services are generally
separate from our other investment advisory services. Fees for general consulting are negotiated at
the time of the engagement for such services. General consulting fees are normally assessed as a flat
fee of up to $50,000.
Page 8
Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
We do not have any performance-based fee arrangements. “Side-by-Side Management” refers to a
situation in which the same firm manages accounts that are billed based on a percentage of assets
under management and at the same time manages other accounts for which fees are assessed on a
performance fee basis. Because we have no performance-based fee accounts, we have no side-by-
Item 7 - Types of Clients
side management.
We serve charitable organizations, individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts and estates.
We may impose a minimum portfolio value and/or a minimum fee for investment advisory services.
Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
In accordance with the Investment Plan, we generally select Separate Account Managers, mutual
funds and ETFs (“pooled investment funds”), stocks, bonds and alternative investments for client
accounts.
We have a comprehensive process for monitoring, evaluating and selecting the Separate Account
Managers and pooled investment funds utilized. We employ several outside research firms to help
narrow the field of choices. Some of these teams produce lists of SAMs or funds for review while
others provide additional analytical information.
The process of Manager selection and evaluation is enhanced by high-level relationships and
strategic alliances with some of the largest custodians, broker dealers and research firms in the
country. We develop these relationships to gain key insights into the economy, as well as
sophisticated analysis and manager selection capabilities. Software and database vendors such as
FactSet, iCapital, CAIS and Morningstar Direct provide additional data and screening services for
thousands of SAMs, pooled investment funds and alternative asset strategies.
With over 10,000 managers in the U.S. alone, we begin by utilizing a combination of third-party
research and quantitative screening to reduce the universe of managers to a reasonable size. Track
record data, peer group analysis, social screening and manager continuity are just some of the
criteria that are utilized when evaluating a prospective manager. It is our responsibility to monitor
managers, and when there is a significant style drift, management change or stock selection
program change, the relationship may be terminated.
ETFs and mutual funds are primarily used to invest in specifically targeted areas of the U.S. Equity
market or for access to foreign investments. These securities are generally evaluated and selected
based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, past performance, fee structure,
portfolio manager, fund sponsor, overall ratings for safety and returns, and other factors.
Fixed income investments may be used as a strategic investment, as an instrument to fulfill liquidity
or income needs in a portfolio, or to add a component of capital preservation. We will generally
evaluate and select individual bonds or bond funds based on a number of factors including, without
limitation, credit rating, yield and duration.
Page 9
Investment Strategies
Our strategic approach is to invest your portfolio in accordance with the Investment Plan that has
been developed specifically for you. This means that the following strategies may be used in
varying combinations over time for you, depending upon your individual circumstances.
Long-Term Purchases – securities purchased with the expectation that the value of those
securities will grow over a relatively long period of time, generally greater than one year.
Short-Term Purchases – securities purchased with the expectation that they will be sold
within a relatively short period of time, generally less than one year, to take advantage of
the securities’ short-term price fluctuations.
Short Sales – a securities transaction in which an investor sells securities he or she
borrowed in anticipation of a price decline. The investor is then required to return an equal
number of shares at some point in the future. A short seller will profit if the stock goes
down in price.
Margin Transactions – a securities transaction in which an investor borrows money to
purchase a security, in which case the security serves as collateral on the loan.
Options Trading/Writing – a securities transaction that involves buying or selling (writing)
an option. If you write an option and the buyer exercises the option, you are obligated to
purchase or deliver a specified number of shares at a specified price at the exercise of the
option regardless of the market value of the security at expiration of the option. Buying an
option gives you the right to purchase or sell a specified number of shares at a specified
price until the date of expiration of the option regardless of the market value of the security
at expiration of the option.
Risk of Loss
While we seek to diversify your investment portfolio across various asset classes consistent with
your Investment Plan in an effort to reduce risk of loss, all investment portfolios are subject to risks.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that your investment portfolio will be able to fully meet
your investment objectives and goals, or that investments will not lose money.
Below is a description of several of the principal risks that your investment portfolio faces.
Management Risks.
While we manage your investment portfolio, or recommend one or more SAMs,
based on our experience, research and proprietary methods, the value of your investment portfolio
will change daily based on the performance of the underlying securities in which they are invested.
Accordingly, your investment portfolio is subject to the risk that we or a SAM allocates your assets
to individual securities and/or asset classes that are adversely affected by unanticipated market
movements and the risk that our specific investment choices, including selection of Separate
Account Managers, could underperform their relevant indexes.
Risks of Investments in Mutual Funds, ETFs and Other Investment Pools.
As described above, we may
invest your portfolio in mutual funds, ETFs and other investment pools. Investments in pooled
investment funds are generally less risky than investing in individual securities because of their
diversified portfolios; however, these investments are still subject to risks associated with the
markets in which they invest. In addition, pooled investment funds’ success will be related to the
Page 10
skills of their particular managers and their performance in managing their funds. Pooled
investment funds are also subject to risks due to regulatory restrictions applicable to registered
investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Equity Market Risks.
We may invest portions of your assets directly into equity investments, either
stocks or pooled investment funds that invest in the stock market. As noted above, while pooled
investments have diversified portfolios that may make them less risky than investments in
individual securities, funds that invest in stocks and other equity securities are nevertheless subject
to the risks of the stock market. These risks include, without limitation, the risks that stock values
will decline due to daily fluctuations in the markets and that stock values will decline over longer
periods (e.g., bear markets) due to general market declines in the stock prices for all companies,
regardless of any individual security’s prospects.
Fixed Income Risks.
We may invest portions of your assets directly into fixed income instruments,
such as bonds and notes, or may invest in pooled investment funds that invest in bonds and notes.
While investing in fixed income securities, either directly or through pooled investment funds, is
generally considered to be less volatile than investing in the stock market, they nevertheless are
subject to risks. These risks include, without limitation, interest rate risks (risks that changes in
interest rates will devalue the investments), credit risks (risks of default by borrowers), or maturity
risk (risks that bonds or notes will change value from the time of issuance to maturity).
Foreign Securities Risks.
We may invest portions of your assets into pooled investment funds that
invest internationally. While foreign investments are important to the diversification of your
investment portfolio, they carry risks that may be different from U.S. investments. For example,
foreign investments may not be subject to uniform audit, financial reporting or disclosure
standards, practices or requirements comparable to those found in the U.S. Foreign investments
are also subject to foreign withholding taxes and the risk of adverse changes in investment or
exchange control regulations. Finally, foreign investments may involve currency risk, which is the
risk that the value of the foreign security will decrease due to changes in the relative value of the
Item 9 - Disciplinary Information
U.S. dollar and the security’s underlying foreign currency.
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of Cornerstone or the integrity of our
Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
management. We have no disciplinary events to report.
Neither Cornerstone nor its Management Persons has any other financial industry activities or
affiliations to report.
Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics and Personal Trading
We have adopted a Code of Ethics (“the Code”), the full text of which is available to you upon
request. Our Code has several goals. First, the Code is designed to assist us in complying with
applicable laws and regulations governing our investment advisory business.
Under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, we owe fiduciary duties to our clients. Pursuant to these fiduciary
duties, the Code requires persons associated with us (managers, officers and employees) to act with
Page 11
honesty, good faith and fair dealing in working with clients. In addition, the Code prohibits such
associated persons from trading or otherwise acting on insider information.
Next, the Code sets forth guidelines for professional standards for our associated persons. Under
the Code’s Professional Standards, we expect our associated persons to put the interests of our
clients first, ahead of personal interests. In this regard, our associated persons are not to take
inappropriate advantage of their positions in relation to our clients.
Third, the Code sets forth policies and procedures to monitor and review the personal trading
activities of access persons (who have access to client trading information). From time to time our
access persons may invest in the same securities recommended to you. Under our Code, we have
adopted procedures designed to reduce or eliminate conflicts of interest that this could potentially
cause. The Code’s personal trading policies include procedures for limitations on personal
securities transactions of access persons, reporting and review of such trading and pre-clearance of
certain types of personal trading activities. These policies are designed to discourage and prohibit
personal trading that would disadvantage clients. The Code also provides for disciplinary action as
appropriate for violations.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
Because access persons may invest in the same securities as those held in client accounts, we have
established a policy requiring our access persons to pre-clear transactions in some types of
securities with the Chief Compliance Officer. The goal of this policy is to avoid any conflicts of
interest that arise in these situations. Some types of securities, such as CDs, treasury obligations
and open-end mutual funds, are exempt from this pre-clearance requirement. However, in the
event of other identified potential trading conflicts of interest, our goal is to place client interests
first.
Consistent with the foregoing, we maintain policies regarding participation in initial public
offerings (“IPOs”) and private placements in order to comply with applicable laws and avoid
conflicts with client transactions. If an access person wishes to participate in an IPO or invest in a
private placement, he or she must submit a pre-clearance request and obtain the approval of the
CCO.
Finally, if access persons trade with client accounts (i.e., in a bundled or aggregated trade) and the
trade is not filled in its entirety, the access person’s shares will be removed from the block, and the
balance of shares will be allocated among client accounts in accordance with our written policy.
From time to time, you may be invited to invest in limited partnerships or other private placement
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
opportunities in which our employees invest or have some other ownership or influence.
Best Execution and Benefits of Brokerage Selection
When given discretion to select the brokerage firm that will execute orders in client accounts, we
seek “best execution” for client trades, which is a combination of a number of factors, including,
without limitation, quality of execution, services provided and commission rates. Therefore, we
may use or recommend the use of brokers who do not charge the lowest available commission in
the recognition of research and securities transaction services, or quality of execution. Research
services received with transactions may include proprietary or third-party research (or any
Page 12
combination) and may be used in servicing any or all of our clients. Therefore, research services
received may not be used for the account for which the particular transaction was effected.
Through a careful selection process, we have identified a limited number of firms (“the
Custodians”) that provide custodial and/or brokerage services to the clients of investment advisers.
We review each client’s individual circumstances and planned investment program and
recommend the Custodian that we feel is most appropriate to meet those needs. Although we may
recommend that you establish an account at a specific Custodian, it is ultimately your decision to
custody assets with the Custodian. We are independently owned and operated and are not
affiliated with the Custodians.
The Custodians provide us with access to institutional trading, custody, reporting and related
services, which are typically not available to the Custodians’ retail investors. The Custodians also
make available various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our
clients’ accounts while others help us manage and grow our business. These services generally are
available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them. These
services are not soft dollar arrangements, but are part of the institutional platform offered by the
Custodians. The Custodians’ brokerage services include the execution of securities transactions,
custody, research, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally
available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial
investment.
For our client accounts maintained in their custody, the Custodians generally do not charge
separately for custody services but are compensated by account holders through commissions or
other fees on trades that they execute or that settle into the Custodian’s account. Certain trades may
not incur the Custodian’s commissions or transaction fees. The Custodians are also compensated by
earning interest on the uninvested cash in your account. The Custodians also make available to us
other products and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit our clients’ accounts. Many
of these products and services may be used to service all or a substantial number of our accounts,
including accounts not maintained at the Custodians.
The Custodians’ products and services that assist us in managing and administering clients’
accounts include software and other technology that (i) provide access to client account data (such
as trade confirmations and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade execution and allocate
aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts; (iii) provide pricing and other market data;
(iv) facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and (v) assist with back-office
functions, recordkeeping and client reporting.
The Custodians also offer other services intended to help us manage and further develop our
business enterprise. These services may include: (i) technology, compliance, legal and business
consulting; (ii) publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and
(iii) access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance providers.
The Custodians may make available, arrange and/or pay third-party vendors for the types of
services rendered to us. The Custodians may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for
some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to us.
The Custodians may also provide other benefits such as educational events or occasional business
entertainment of our personnel. In evaluating whether to recommend that clients custody their
assets at the Custodians, we may take into account the availability of some of the foregoing
products and services and other arrangements as part of the total mix of factors it considers and
Page 13
not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by the
Custodians, which may create a potential conflict of interest.
Directed Brokerage
Item 13 - Review of Accounts
We do not generally allow directed brokerage accounts.
We monitor managed portfolios continuously and will periodically rebalance your portfolio to the
target allocation or recommend changes when deemed necessary. Your portfolio may also be
reviewed if requested by you, upon receipt of information material to the management of your
portfolio, or at any time such review is deemed necessary or advisable by us. These factors
generally include but are not limited to, the following: change in your general circumstances
(marriage, divorce, retirement); or economic, political or market conditions. Principals or Portfolio
Managers of ours, either independently or together, review all accounts.
Account custodians are responsible for providing monthly or quarterly account statements which
reflect the positions (and current pricing) in each account as well as transactions in each account,
including fees paid from an account. Account custodians also provide prompt confirmation of all
trading activity, and year-end tax statements, such as 1099 forms. In addition, we provide at least
an annual report for each managed portfolio. This written report normally includes a summary of

The availability of the Custodians’ products and services to us is based solely on our
participation in the programs and not on the provision of any particular investment advice.
From time to time, we may enter into arrangements with third parties (“Promoters”) to identify and
refer potential clients to us. Consistent with legal requirements under the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940, as amended, we enter into written agreements with Promoters under which, among other
things, we or the Promoter are required to disclose to you how the Promoter is compensated and
any material conflicts of interest at the time that our services are recommended or endorsed by the
Promoter.
Item 15 - Custody
It is the account custodian’s responsibility to provide you with confirmations of trading activity, tax
forms and at least quarterly account statements. You are advised to review this information
carefully and to notify us of any questions or concerns. You are also asked to promptly notify us if
the custodian fails to provide statements on each account held.
From time to time and in accordance with our agreement with you, we will provide additional
reports. The account balances reflected on these reports should be compared to the balances
shown on the brokerage statements to ensure accuracy. There may at times be small differences
that could be due to a number of things, including the timing of dividend reporting, pending trades
and differences in pricing information from various reporting agencies.

Upon request, we will assist in establishing standing authorization at the custodian for Cornerstone
to move money to a third party on your behalf. This standing authorization is limited to transfers
where you specify the payee and all of the destination account information at the time of the
authorization. Cornerstone is only authorized to direct the amount or timing of the payments. Due
to this standing authorization, Cornerstone is deemed to have custody for reporting purposes on
Form ADV, Part 1A, Item 9A. Cornerstone has implemented procedures to comply with the
requirements outlined by the SEC in its February 21, 2017, No-Action Letter to the Investment
Adviser Association and is not required to have an annual surprise examination on these assets.
Furthermore, as part of the administration of the various planned gift portfolios we manage for
many of our institutional clients, upon request, we are authorized by the client to effect third party
payments from client account(s) and to designate the payee. We are deemed to have full custody of
these accounts and all custodial accounts directly linked to them and are subject to the annual
surprise examination requirement. Cornerstone has secured an independent accounting firm to
conduct the annual surprise examination.
In these cases where Cornerstone has full custody of client account(s), upon client instruction, we
process payments from the client’s account to the donors, income beneficiaries, charities, or tax
agencies in accordance with the governing agreement (such as the gift annuity contract, trust
document, or donor advised fund sponsor guidelines.) We have implemented multiple controls -
such as client review of payment files, periodic administrative reporting which reconciles all
distributions, and internal review by a secondary Cornerstone employee - to safeguard client
assets.
An annual review of all disbursement authority is performed by our compliance and gift
administration teams to identify any potential changes to this authority or the inclusion of
