A custom, consultative approach to achieve the specific objectives and goals for our clients.

INVESTMENT POLICY STATEMENT DESIGN & REVIEW

Assisting our clients to develop or revise an Investment Policy Statement is one of the most crucial services MPC provides. Each investment policy statement we assist our clients to develop is unique and a separate investment policy statement is developed for the Portfolio as well as each of the managers. We recognize that we are part of your team. As a result, we include your other professionals – attorney, actuary, asset managers – in the process. We take the time to understand your institution, philosophy, history of your portfolio and any special considerations, which need to be incorporated – such as the preclusion of investments in businesses that are against the core values of the client. Additionally, numerous other considerations are analyzed in the formulation of suggested changes to your investment policy statements. These may include, but are not limited to, the spending policy laid out in long-term management business plans, historic cash-flow trends, regulatory and rating agency “requirements”, new investment categories to be considered and the liquidity requirements of the Portfolio. MPC’s consultants expect to be intimately involved in the interaction with the Management team\Committee in the maintenance of very clear contractual guidelines that define the fund’s expectations for each investment manager, as well as remedies for non-compliance.

ASSET ALLOCATION & PORTFOLIO STRUCTURING

It is widely accepted that approximately 90 percent of the variability of future investment return is determined by asset allocation. MPC Capital Advisors models and develops various asset allocations to conform to our clients risk and objectives. Achieving an allocation commensurate with our clients objectives is the cornerstone of our consulting services. Correctly exploring asset allocation Models should provide spending policies, liability assumptions and investment objectives with the necessary framework from within to succeed.

MANAGER RESEARCH & SELECTION

As a firm owned and operated by investment professionals averaging 25+ years of experience, the universe of prospective managers for clients is well known to the firm and serves as the starting point for manager searches. The firm conducts periodic in-person meetings with managers, analyzes client managers as well as subscribes to databases of thousands of active and passive money managers. When conducting searches for clients, we often add managers that clients request for consideration as well as those MPC independently identify in our research efforts.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT & REPORTING

We track our clients’ investments diligently, from the asset holdings and money manager to the total plan level. Our clients are always notified of incidents related to their investments and in the event of an investment manager delivering poor performance or making questionable decisions, we demand an honest explanation. MPC provides comprehensive reports that are concise and allow our clients to make highly informed strategic decisions. The portfolio's security positions, prices, transactions and other cash flows are scrutinized so that MPC can: • Calculate the individual money managers’ return • The Composite return of the portfolio • Compare and rank the results to peer groups, market indices and other benchmarks • Provide "Absolute" and "Relative" returns and risk analysis • Calculate "Attribution" determining manager skills and risk adjusted returns.

PORTFOLIO EVALUATION & REBALANCING

MPC continuously reviews and evaluates all client portfolios to include evaluating the relationship of a portfolios target asset allocation to that of its current allocation to determine if the target portfolio has a plurality of assets beyond what is specified in the Investment Policy Statement. We then assist in efficiently rebalancing the percentages to the target.

PORTFOLIO EVALUATION & LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

MPC continuously reviews and evaluates all client portfolios to asses if the current asset allocation is in line with the strategy specified in the Investment Policy Statement and more importantly, determine if the portfolio is properly positioned to achieve the client’s goal. Monitoring the total risk of the portfolio as well as the level of risk assumed by the individual money managers is an integral component in our process driven approach. We assist in efficiently rebalancing the asset allocation percentages to their targets when necessary while supporting the client’s need to manage cash flow and liquidity requirements.
