We completed our first PRI Transparency Report in March 2020. PRI signatories are required to report publicly on their responsible investment activities each year.
We received our first PRI Assessment Report in July 2020 and received an ‘A’ grade in Strategy & Governance – which is considered the main module/section of the report.
GH&A became a Task Force on Climate- related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) supporter in 2021.

The reports from these third-party providers assist the investment team in its overall evaluation process and provides a base to further study/research these securities for continued inclusion in our portfolio. TCFD disclosures increase transparency around climate-related risks which are incorporated considerations in our investment process.

The GH&A Fixed Income – Aggregate Composite is comprised of fully discretionary, fee paying institutional portfolios, including those portfolios no longer with the firm. The Fixed Income – Aggregate investment philosophy utilizes high-quality U.S. investment grade fixed income securities. To help control risk, the portfolios purchase spread product (non-Treasuries) with less than 10-year maturities, 15- and 20-year Agency Guaranteed Mortgage-Backed securities and Corporate Bonds rated a minimum of single “A-” or equivalent. The portfolios do not contain derivatives or short positions and do not employ leverage. The duration exposure is generally managed within a +/- 10% band around the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index and a maximum of +/- 25% in extreme market environments.
The composite benchmark is the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index. The benchmark is used for comparative purposes only and generally reflects the risk or investment style of the product. The account minimum for the composite is $2.0 million. The composite inception date is January 1, 1992.
Garcia Hamilton & Associates, L.P. (GH&A) claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. GH&A has been independently verified for the periods January 1, 1993, through December 31, 2015, by Ashland Partners & Company LLP and from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2019, by ACA Performance Services, LLC. The verification reports are available upon request. A firm that claims compliance with the GIPS standards must establish policies and procedures for complying with all the applicable requirements of the GIPS standards. Verification provides assurance on whether the firm’s policies and procedures related to composite maintenance, as well as the calculation, presentation, and distribution of performance, have been designed in compliance with the GIPS standards and have been implemented on a firm-wide basis. Verification does not provide assurance on the accuracy of any specific performance report. GIPS® is a registered trademark of CFA Institute. CFA Institute does not endorse or promote this organization, nor does it warrant the accuracy or quality of the content contained herein.
Returns presented include the reinvestment of all income. The net of fees performance results are calculated based on actual fees. The standard fee schedule is: 0.25% of the first $25 million, 0.20% of the next $25 million, 0.18% of the next $50 million, 0.15% of the next $100 million, and 0.12% of the balance. GH&A is an investment management firm registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. GH&A was known as Davis Hamilton Jackson & Associates prior to June 30, 2010. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. A complete list and description of firm composites is available upon request.
Policies for valuing investments, calculating performance, and preparing GIPS Reports are available upon request. Composite dispersion is calculated using an asset value-weighted standard deviation of annual gross of fees returns of those portfolios included in the composite the entire year. Standard deviation is presented as a 3-year annualized standard deviation measure of risk using monthly gross of fees returns as of each annual period end. While the composite is older, this date was selected when Mr. Garcia arrived and took over the portfolios.

The GH&A Fixed Income – Aggregate Composite is comprised of fully discretionary, fee paying institutional portfolios, including those portfolios no longer with the firm. The Fixed Income – Aggregate investment philosophy utilizes high-quality U.S. investment grade fixed income securities. To help control risk, the portfolios purchase spread product (non-Treasuries) with less than 10-year maturities, 15- and 20-year Agency Guaranteed Mortgage-Backed securities and Corporate Bonds rated a minimum of single “A-” or equivalent. The portfolios do not contain derivatives or short positions and do not employ leverage. The duration exposure is generally managed within a +/- 10% band around the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index and a maximum of +/- 25% in extreme market environments.
The composite benchmark is the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index. The benchmark is used for comparative purposes only and generally reflects the risk or investment style of the product. The account minimum for the composite is $2.0 million. The composite inception date is January 1, 1992.
