Dear Shareholder:

Enclosed is the Annual Report for the GuideMark® and GuidePath® Funds covering the period from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021.

Market Review

The 12-month reporting period covered quite an extraordinary market environment. Following the bottom of the market crash on March 23, 2020, for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2021, the S&P 500® Index (the “S&P 500®”) saw a return of 56.4%, which ranked in the top five 12-month returns for the index since 1925.1 During the reporting period, the US equity market was strengthened by extensive support from the Federal Reserve and fiscal stimulus measures along with the economy starting to reopen with the development of COVID-19 vaccines. Emerging markets posted the strongest returns for the one-year period at 58.9%, benefiting from a weaker US dollar and the pickup in economic activity.2 International developed markets lagged behind US and emerging markets, returning 45.2% for the year due to slower economic activity in light of ongoing headwinds from the pandemic.3

While gains across many economic sectors helped lift the returns of the S&P 500® over the one year period, returns were very uneven and included a significant rotation half way through the year in terms of market leadership. For the first six months of the reporting period, a handful of technology stocks were the major drivers of the returns of the US equity market. The group of companies that has been coined ‘FANAMA’ – Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet (Google’s parent company) – comprised over 20% of the S&P 500® but contributed over 30% to its return during the six-month period.4 For the last six months of the period, however, market leadership broadened as economically sensitive sectors and industries that had fallen the most in the pandemic-related market crash started to rally strongly. Market leadership rotated into the energy and financial sectors during the six months ended March 31, 2021. Energy and financials returned 67.2% and 42.9% respectively over the six-month period ending March 31, 2021, compared to the S&P 500® return of 19.1%, with first half market leaders technology and consumer discretionary returning 14.0% and 11.4% respectively for the same period.5

Not only did we see the shift in market leadership from growth to value in the second half of the reporting period, we also saw a shift in market favor from large-caps to small-caps. Value outperformed growth by over 13 percentage points for the last six months of the period, having trailed growth by over 20 percentage points in the first six months of the period.6 Small-caps trailed large caps by 5 percentage points in the six months ended September 30, 2020 but outperformed by over 35 percentage points in the six months ended March 31, 2021.7 The wide margin between small caps and large caps in the six months ended March 31, 2021 was the largest on record since 1994.8

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) struggled for much of the period relative to the broad US market, but rallied strongly in the first quarter of 2021, returning 8.3% compared to the 6.2% return of the S&P 500® for the same period.9 The rapid rise in interest rates helped lift the returns of this bond-proxy sector for the quarter. Commodities outperformed the bond markets over the one-year period, with a return of 35.0%, but trailed the equity market.10 Along with energy and petroleum, metals were a large driver of commodities returns for the year, with precious metals leading the way in the first six-months of the period as the US dollar weakened and industrial metals leading the way in the second six-month period as economic recovery picked up speed and investors left the yieldless, perceived safe haven of gold.

The bond market started 2021 with one of its worst first quarter returns on record. The rise in bond yields, especially in longer durations, led to negative returns across most bond sectors. The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index (the “US Aggregate Bond Index”) returned -3.4% for the first quarter of 2021, driven by longer maturity Treasuries, which fell 13.5% for the quarter.11 The first quarter of 2021 marked the worst first quarter for both the US Aggregate Bond Index and long-term Treasuries since 1980. For the full one-year period ending March 31, 2021, the US bond market was just positive with a return of 0.7%, while long Treasuries returned -15.8%. Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities generally weighed on the returns of the US bond market, with a return of -4.4% and -0.1% respectively, while investment-grade corporate bonds returned 8.7% for the one year period.12 Higher returns were found in the less interest-rate sensitive sectors of high-yield corporate bonds and leveraged loans which returned 23.7% and 20.7% respectively for the year.13

Fund Review

Looking across the fund family, 12 of the 15 funds outperformed their benchmarks over the twelve-month period.

Most of the GuideMark® funds outperformed their respective benchmarks during the reporting period. Only two funds trailed their benchmarks. The GuideMark® Large Cap Core Fund and GuideMark® Small/Mid Cap Core Funds both outperformed by fairly wide margins, helped by all three investment factors at different times during the period. The quality and momentum factors benefitted Fund returns in the six months ended September 30, 2020, while the value factor contributed to gains in the six months ended March 31, 2021. The GuideMark® World ex-US Fund and GuideMark® Emerging Markets Fund trailed their respective benchmarks for the period due to the impact of the quality factor. The GuideMark® Core Fixed Income Fund benefited from an underweight allocation to Treasuries relative to its benchmark, favoring corporate bonds and active credit selection, which led to the Fund’s relative outperformance for the period.

All of the GuidePath® allocation funds outperformed their respective benchmarks for the twelve-month period. The funds outperformed generally due exposure to higher-risk assets which rebounded and rallied strongly from the market bottom. GuidePath® Growth Allocation Fund tilted toward small-caps and larger-cap growth while the GuidePath® Conservative Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Flexible Income Fund and GuidePath® Absolute Return Fund all benefited from exposure to credit, especially high-yield, investment-grade, and emerging markets. The GuidePath® Multi-Asset Income Allocation Fund made up significant ground in 2021 from exposure to the highest paying dividend securities and REITs as they rallied. The GuidePath® Tactical Allocation Fund benefited from higher equity exposure relative to its benchmark. The GuidePath® Managed Futures Strategy Fund uses derivatives to implement its investment strategy, specifically futures contracts. Positioning across most asset classes benefitted the Fund’s performance during the year. Long futures positioning within bonds during the first half of the reporting period followed by a shift to a short position by the end of the period coupled with the Fund’s long futures positioning in equities, energy and metals contributed positively to the Fund’s returns for the period.

Of the three GuidePath® income focused funds, only the GuidePath® Growth and Income Fund trailed its benchmark for the reporting period, due to the Fund’s lower risk exposure during the market rally. Emphasis on credit risk and inflation-linked exposure within the GuidePath® Conservative Income and GuidePath® Income Funds benefited returns as interest rates rose over the period, pushing Treasury returns negative and increasing inflation fears .

Looking Ahead

Faster-than-expected-progress vaccinating Americans and $1.9 trillion in COVID-19 relief on top of the already unprecedented relief spending approved by Congress in 2020 further bolstered investor optimism for the rebound of the US economy, which in turn has provided a tailwind for risk assets like equities and a headwind for safe-haven assets like Treasury bonds and gold. Investor anxiety has quickly pivoted from anxiety about deflation to anxiety about inflation. Investors have not really worried about inflation since 2011 and as a result, investors’ expectations for inflation tend be based on the experiences of the late 1970s and early ‘80s. We think today’s circumstances are quite different from those and that any inflation we might experience this time is likely to be short-lived, also known as “transitory”, as it was in 2011. One of investors’ key concerns about inflation is that it will ultimately lead to rising interest rates when the Fed decides it needs to slow growth in order to pre-empt inflation and that rising rates will hurt stock prices. We believe expectations of higher rates to be reasonable, but history suggests that the stock market has a surprising capacity to absorb interest rate increases and still deliver above-average returns.

Please contact your financial advisor to discuss any questions about your investment strategy or changes in your financial goals. We thank you for including the funds in your portfolio and appreciate the trust you have placed in us.

Sincerely,

Carrie E. Hansen

Trustee, Chairperson and President of the Funds

During the period August 3, 2017 through September 5, 2017, there were no Institutional Shares of the Fund outstanding. Performance information provided for the Institutional Shares during that period reflects the last calculated net asset value of the Institutional Shares on August 2, 2017, without any adjustments. Had there been Institutional Shares outstanding during the period August 3, 2017 through September 5, 2017, their annual returns would have been substantially similar to those of the Service Shares of the Fund because they would have been invested in the same portfolio securities, but would have differed to the extent that the classes have different expenses. Because the Service Shares have higher expenses than the Institutional Shares, the returns of the Service Shares would have been lower than the returns of the Institutional Shares during the same period.

The return shown for the MSCI World ex-USA Index is from the inception date of the Service Shares. The MSCI World ex-USA Index return from the inception date of the Institutional Shares is 5.20%.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Continued) (Unaudited)


 

 

For the 12 months ended March 31, 2021, the Fund’s Service Shares returned 45.9%, underperforming the MSCI World ex-USA Index at 46.5%.

 

 

As part of the Fund’s equal weighted three-factor investment approach, the Fund’s dedicated allocation to the momentum factor was a detractor from Fund performance for the period.

 

 

The Fund saw positive contributions from the value factor, as well as favorable sector weightings including overweight allocations to the consumer discretionary sector relative to the benchmark.

 

 

The quality factor detracted from Fund results for the period, as did an underweight allocation to market sensitive stocks relative to the benchmark.

For the 12 months ended March 31, 2021, the Fund’s Service Shares returned 2.5%, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index at 0.7%.

 

 

The Fund’s overweight allocation to investment grade corporate credit as well as favorable sector weightings, including overweight exposure to the communications, consumer non-cyclicals and technology sectors, relative to the benchmark benefitted Fund returns for the 12-month period.

 

 

Exposure to the securitized credit sector including non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, and commercial mortgage-backed securities had a positive impact on returns.

 

 

While positioning within US Treasuries, including exposure to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), was additive over the period the Fund’s tactical duration positioning, especially in the first half of the period hurt returns.

For the 12 months ended March 31, 2021, the Fund’s Service Shares returned 58.2%, outperforming the S&P® Target Risk Aggressive Index at 43.9%.

 

 

Fund returns benefited from a tilt towards large cap growth stocks, which were viewed more favorably during the period. Exposure to global small cap equity also benefitted the Fund’s returns, as a resurgence in small cap equity took hold with investors in the latter half of the period on news of a COVID-19 vaccine.

 

 

Exposure to emerging market equities benefitted Fund returns during the period as global economies started to reopen and investor risk appetites returned.

 

 

Exposure to global real estate investment trusts (REITs) dampened Fund returns for the period as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused uncertainty around the impacts to shopping malls and office buildings.

US large cap and small cap equity exposure benefitted Fund returns during the period as economies reopened and the economic outlook turned positive.

 

 

Exposure to mortgage-backed securities and to US Treasuries across the curve detracted from Fund returns for the period as the Federal Reserve signaled lower interest rates are expected to persist for longer.

Overweight equity positioning relative to the benchmark during the period contributed positively to returns. In the market rally, the Fund added back equity exposure at a faster pace when compared to its benchmark.

 

 

Construction related themes within the industrials sector benefitted Fund returns. Residential homebuilder industry exposure contributed to gains as a result of strong housing demand amidst a low interest rate environment.

 

 

Overweight exposure to the utilities and consumer staples sectors which were the bottom two performing sectors during the period dampened Fund returns. Exposure to the insurance industry and financial ratings agencies also detracted from the Fund’s results for the period.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Continued) (Unaudited)


 

 

For the 12 months ended March 31, 2021, the Fund’s Service Shares returned 15.4%, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index at 0.7%.

 

 

Positioning in high yield bonds, convertible bonds, emerging market government bonds and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) resulted in strong returns and was the main driver of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the benchmark for the 12 month period.

 

 

A small allocation to equity, specifically technology industries, added to the Fund’s returns as the technology sector saw strong returns during the period.

 

 

Exposure to US Treasuries across the curve detracted from Fund returns as the Federal Reserve signaled lower interest rates are expected to persist for longer.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (Continued) (Unaudited)


 

 

For the 12 months ended March 31, 2021, the Fund’s Service Shares returned 10.8%, outperforming the SG Trend Index at 8.0%.

 

 

Long exposures to global equities were a significant driver of the Fund’s returns as equity markets consistently trended higher during the 12 month period.

 

 

Long exposures to precious metals and grain commodities, along with net short US dollar exposure were positive contributors to the Fund’s returns for the period, as the US dollar weakened amid unprecedented monetary and fiscal policy interventions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

 

Long exposures to global bonds were a headwind to Fund returns as interest rates rose during the period due to inflationary forces and stronger global growth.

Exposure to high yield credit and inflation-linked bonds boosted Fund returns for the period as risk assets continued to price in a strengthening global economic rebound.

 

 

A target allocation of 50% to cash equivalents dampened the Fund’s returns for the period, as the Federal Reserve signaled the intention to keep short-term rates lower for longer.

For the 12 months ended March 31, 2021, the Fund returned 35.7%, trailing the MSCI USA High Dividend Yield Index at 39.2%.

 

 

Exposure to S&P 500® Index component stocks boosted Fund returns, as dividend-oriented stocks generally lagged their core and growth counterparts during the period.

 

 

The Fund’s put-write strategy was a slight detractor from returns during the period, as put-write strategies tend to lag the broader equity market in strongly rising market conditions.

 

 

The Fund’s volatility targeting component detracted from returns as volatility receded at a much slower pace than the equity market advanced.

GuideMark® Funds & GuidePath® Funds

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (Unaudited)

March 31, 2021


 

As a shareholder of the GuideMark® & GuidePath® Funds (the “Funds”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other Fund expenses. The Expense Example shown in this section is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Expense Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six-month period and held for the entire period, which for all Funds is from October 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the Expense Example table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The example includes, but is not limited to, management fees, shareholder servicing fees, distribution fees, fund accounting fees, custody fees and transfer agent fees. However, the example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses, interest expense or dividends on short positions taken by a Fund and other extraordinary expenses as determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent that a Fund invests in shares of other investment companies as part of its investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which a Fund invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary among the various underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the example below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expenses ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Percentages are stated as a percent of net assets.

Principal amounts are denominated in the currency in which the security was purchase.

(a)   Variable rate security based on a reference index and spread. Certain securities are fixed to variable and currently in the fixed phase. The rate reported is the rate in effect as of March 31, 2021.
(b)   Variable rate security. The coupon is based on an underlying pool of assets. The rate reported is the rate in effect as of March 31, 2021.
(c)   Securities were purchased exempt from registration in the U.S. pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) or were acquired in a private placement, and, unless registered under the Act, may only be sold to “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in the Act) or pursuant to another expemption from registration. The value of these securities total $30,276,831, which represents 16.10% of total net assets.
(d)   Seven-day yield as of March 31, 2021.
(e)   All or portion of this security is on loan.
(f)   Represents a U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Security.

Interest rate disclosed represents yield upon the estimated timing and amount of future cash flows at March 31, 2021. These securities are considered liquid pursuant to the Fund’s liquidity guidelines and the value of these securities total $1,795,353, which represents 0.95% of total net assets.

1)   If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
2)   Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements on U.S. municipal issues, corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of year end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity or obligation.
3)   The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

Certain GuidePath® Funds invest in securities of unaffiliated underlying funds in accordance with Section 12(d)(1)(F) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such investments are potentially illiquid, because an unaffiliated underlying fund, under the terms of Section 12(d)(1)(F), is not obligated to redeem its shares in an amount exceeding 1% of its total outstanding shares during any period of less than thirty days. Investments made in accordance with Section 12(d)(1)(F) that exceed 1% of the outstanding shares of each underlying fund, and therefore are potentially illiquid, amount to $3,464,937 or 1.63% of total net assets as of March 31, 2021.

During the period August 3, 2017 through September 5, 2017 there were no Instutional Shares of the Fund outstanding. Performance information provided for the Institutional Shares during that period reflects the last calculated net asset value of the Institutional Shares on August 2, 2017, without any adjustments. Had there been Institutional Shares outstanding during the period August 3, 2017 through September 5, 2017, their annual returns would have been substantially similar to those of the Service Shares of the Fund because they would have been invested in the same portfolio securities, but would have differed to the extent that the classes have different expenses. Because the Service Shares have higher expenses than the Institutional Shares, the returns of the Service Shares would have been lower than the returns of the Institutional Shares during the same period.

1.   Organization

GPS Funds I and GPS Funds II (the “Trusts”) are organized as Delaware statutory trusts under Declarations of Trusts dated January 2, 2001 and October 20, 2010, respectively. The Trusts are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as open-end management investment companies. GPS Funds I is comprised of the following 5 funds: GuideMark® Large Cap Core Fund, GuideMark® Emerging Markets Fund, GuideMark® Small/Mid Cap Core Fund, GuideMark® World ex-US Fund, GuideMark® Core Fixed Income. GPS Funds II is comprised of the following 10 funds: GuidePath® Growth Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Conservative Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Tactical Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Absolute Return Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Multi-Asset Income Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Flexible Income Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Managed Futures Strategy Fund, GuidePath® Conservative Income Fund, GuidePath® Income Fund and GuidePath® Growth and Income Fund (collectively, the “Funds”). All of the Funds are classified and operate as diversified funds under the 1940 Act. Each Fund represents a distinct portfolio with its own investment objectives and policies. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. GuidePath® Growth Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Conservative Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Tactical Allocation Fund and GuidePath® Absolute Return Allocation Fund were seeded on March 4, 2011 and the prospectus went effective on April 1, 2011. The GuidePath® Growth Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Conservative Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Tactical Allocation Fund and GuidePath® Absolute Return Allocation Fund commenced operations on April 29, 2011. The GuidePath® Multi-Asset Income Allocation Fund and GuidePath® Flexible Income Allocation Fund commenced operations on August 31, 2012. The GuidePath® Managed Futures Strategy Fund commenced operations on January 19, 2016. The GuidePath® Conservative Income Fund, GuidePath® Income Fund and GuidePath® Growth and Income Fund commenced operations on April 30, 2018. Each Fund offers two classes of shares: Service Shares and Institutional Shares, except GuidePath® Conservative Income Fund, GuidePath® Income Fund and GuidePath® Growth and Income Fund, which are only offered with a single share class. Certain Fund classes were without shares as of the period end; any share activity related to those classes is presented in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

 

2.   Fund of Funds

The GuidePath® Growth Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Conservative Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Absolute Return Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Multi-Asset Income Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Flexible Income Allocation Fund, GuidePath® Conservative Income Fund, GuidePath® Income Fund and GuidePath® Growth and Income Fund each operate as a “Fund of Funds,” investing primarily (or, in the case of the GuidePath® Tactical Allocation Fund, between 10% and 100% of its assets) in registered investment companies, including mutual funds and

exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The funds in which the Fund of Funds may invest are referred to herein as the “Underlying Funds.” The Advisor believes that investing in Underlying Funds provides each Fund of Funds with an efficient means of creating a portfolio that provides investors with indirect exposure to a broad range of securities. By investing in a Fund of Funds, you will indirectly bear fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the Fund’s direct fees and expenses. In order to obtain exposure to certain markets, asset classes or active management styles, each Fund of Funds may buy Underlying Funds managed by the Advisor or its affiliates, which in turn, invest in various securities, including ETFs. The Fund of Funds may also invest directly in securities and other exchange-traded products, such as exchange-traded notes.

 

3.   Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

 

  (a)   Investment Valuation

Portfolio securities listed on a national or foreign securities exchange, except those listed on NASDAQ, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last quoted sale price on each business day. Portfolio securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) on each business day. If there is no reported sale on an exchange or NASDAQ, the portfolio security will be valued at the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked price. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded.

All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used. Non-exchange traded ADRs are priced with an evaluated price as determined by the current evaluated pricing procedures of, and provided by, the pricing vendor.

Fixed income securities that have a maturity of greater than 60 days are generally valued on the basis of evaluations obtained from third party pricing services, which take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. Short term investments having a maturity of less than 60 days are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each mutual fund on the day of valuation. These investments in mutual funds may include investments in affiliated mutual funds. Investments in mutual funds are generally priced using values supplied by the underlying funds themselves. Units of Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio are not traded on an exchange and are valued at the investment company’s NAV per share.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuation, the Advisor regularly compares prior day prices with current

 

 

141


GuideMark® Funds & GuidePath® Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

March 31, 2021


 

day prices and transaction prices. When the comparison results exceed pre-defined thresholds, the Advisor challenges the prices exceeding tolerance levels with the pricing service or broker. Securities for which no market quotations are readily available or when a significant event has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that a Fund next calculates its net asset value will be valued at their fair value as determined by the applicable Fund’s Valuation Committee. Securities for which no market prices are readily available will be valued at their fair value as determined by the Valuation Committee under procedures adopted by the applicable Board of Trustees (the “Board”).

The Funds have adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any, during the year. In addition, these standards require expanded disclosure for each major category of assets. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

During the year, certain securities and other instruments held by the Funds were categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 based upon the inputs and methodologies used to determine the fair value of the security or instrument. Descriptions of the inputs and valuation methodologies used to determine the fair values of each class of investments within Level 2 and Level 3 are set forth below.

Level 2 Investments. The Funds’ investments that were categorized as Level 2 include: (1) certain fixed income securities, including asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate obligations, U.S. and foreign government obligations, mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds; (2) certain foreign common stocks, preferred stocks, participatory notes, and real estate investment trusts; and (3) certain over-the-counter derivative instruments, including forward currency contracts, and swaps.

Fixed income securities are normally valued by pricing vendors that use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The service providers’ internal models typically use inputs that are observable such as institutional-sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, credit quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data.

Certain common stocks that trade on foreign exchanges are subject to valuation adjustments. These valuation adjustments

are applied to the foreign exchange-traded common stocks to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market in which the security is traded and the close of the New York Stock Exchange. These securities are valued using pricing vendors that consider the correlation patterns of price movements of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets.

Forward currency contracts and swaps derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These instruments are normally valued using pricing vendors. Depending upon the instrument, its value may be provided by a pricing vendor using a series of techniques, including pricing models. The pricing models typically use inputs that are observed from active markets such as indices, spreads, interest rates, curves, dividends and exchange rates.

Level 3 Investments. The Funds’ investments that were categorized as Level 3 include: fair valued securities.

Fair valued securities are normally valued by pricing vendors using relevant observable inputs, as described above. In certain circumstances, the types of observable inputs that are typically used by a pricing service may be unavailable or deemed by the pricing service to be unreliable. In these instances, the pricing vendor may value the security based upon significant unobservable inputs, or the pricing vendor may not provide a value for the security. To the extent that a pricing vendor does not provide a value for a particular security, or the pricing vendor provides a value that the Valuation Committee does not believe accurately reflects the value of the security, the security will be valued by the Valuation Committee based upon the information available to the Committee at the time of valuation and in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. These methodologies may require subjective judgments and determinations about the value of a particular security. When significant unobservable inputs are used to value a security, the security is categorized as Level 3.

To verify Level 3 unobservable inputs, the Valuation Committee uses a variety of techniques as appropriate to substantiate these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transaction back-testing or disposition analysis and review of related market activity.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

  (b)   Consolidation of Subsidiary

The GuidePath® Managed Futures Strategy Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in GuidePath Managed Futures Strategy Cayman Fund Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary, which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, is wholly-owned and controlled by GuidePath® Managed Futures Strategy Fund. The financial statements of the GuidePath® Managed Futures Strategy Fund include the operations of the Subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle in order to invest in commodity-linked derivative instruments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies. The GuidePath® Managed Futures Strategy Fund had 3.40% of its total assets invested in the Subsidiary as of March 31, 2021.

The Subsidiary is an exempted Cayman Islands investment company and as such is not subject to Cayman Islands taxes at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the Subsidiary is a Controlled Foreign Corporation (“CFC”) not subject to U.S. income taxes. As a wholly-owned CFC, however, the Subsidiary’s net income and capital gains, if any, will be included each year in the Fund’s investment company taxable income.

 

  (c)   Subsequent Events Evaluation

In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions through the date of issuance for potential recognition or disclosure resulting from subsequent events. This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments to the financial statements, other than the following:

The Board of Trustees of the Trusts, based upon the recommendation of the Advisor, determined to terminate the Funds’ Distribution Plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, effective as of April 1, 2021. As a result, Service Shares of the Funds no longer pay Rule 12b-1 fees as of April 1, 2021. In addition, to correspond with the discontinuation of the Funds’ Rule 12b-1 plans, each Fund’s Expense Cap for Service Shares was lowered by 25 basis

points to reflect to the removal of Rule 12b-1 fees, effective April 1, 2021.

 

  (d)   Repurchase Agreements

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and securities dealers. These transactions involve the purchase of securities with a simultaneous commitment to sell the securities to the bank or the dealer at an agreed-upon date and price. A repurchase agreement is accounted for as an investment by the Fund, collateralized by securities, which are delivered to the Fund’s Custodian or to an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. The securities are marked-to-market daily and additional securities are acquired as needed, to ensure that their value equals or exceeds the repurchase price plus accrued interest.

 

  (e)   Federal Income Taxes

The Funds intend to continue to comply with the requirements of sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as regulated investment companies and to make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to shareholders sufficient to relieve the Funds from all or substantially all Federal income taxes. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.

The Funds have adopted financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also each Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years. The Funds have reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. As of and during the year ended March 31, 2021, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority and did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds

 

 

148


GuideMark® Funds & GuidePath® Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

March 31, 2021


 

recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds’ Federal and state income and Federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

 

  (f)   Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  (g)   Indemnifications

Under each Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of their performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

 

  (h)   Expenses

Many expenses of the Funds can be directly attributed to a specific Fund. Additionally, some expenses can be directly attributed to a specific Trust, in which case the expense is apportioned among the Funds within that Trust based on relative net assets. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a specific Fund or Trust are apportioned among all the Funds based on relative net assets.

 

  (i)   Organization and Offering Costs

Organization costs consist of costs incurred to establish a Fund and enable it legally to do business. The Funds expense organizational costs as incurred. These expenses were advanced by the Advisor, and the Advisor has agreed to reimburse the Funds for these expenses, subject to potential recovery (see Note 4). Offering costs are accounted for as deferred costs until operations begin. Offering costs include legal fees regarding the preparation of the initial registration statement. Offering costs are then amortized to expense over twelve months on a straight-line basis.

 

  (j)   Security Transactions and Income Recognition

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and the interest income recorded using the effective yield method is accrued daily, and is recognized on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on the purchase of securities are amortized/accreted using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and taxes on capital gains, which are included as a component of net investment income and realized gain (loss) on investments, respectively, have been provided in accordance with the Trusts’ understanding of the applicable

country’s tax rules and rates. Any deferred foreign capital gains tax is accrued based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investment. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the high cost method. Return of capital distributions received from REIT securities are recorded as an adjustment to the cost of the security and thus may impact unrealized or realized gains or losses on the security. Gains and losses from paydowns on mortgage and asset backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income. Distributions from underlying investment companies are classified as investment income or realized gains based on the U.S. income tax characteristics of the distribution.

 

  (k)   Distributions to Shareholders

The Funds, with the exception of the Core Fixed Income Fund, Multi-Asset Income Allocation Fund, Flexible Income Allocation Fund, Conservative Income Fund, Income Fund and Growth and Income Fund will distribute any net investment income at least annually. The Core Fixed Income Fund, Multi-Asset Income Allocation Fund and Flexible Income Allocation Fund will distribute any net investment income quarterly. The Conservative Income Fund, Income Fund and Growth and Income Fund will generally distribute any net investment income monthly. All of the Funds will generally distribute any net realized long or short-term capital gains at least annually. Certain Funds also utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with Federal tax requirements.

 

  (l)   Derivatives

Each Fund may invest in derivative securities including put options, futures, forward currency contracts and swaps. These instruments may be used by a Fund for hedging purposes as well as direct investment.

Forward Currency Contracts

The Funds may enter into forward currency contracts, obligating the Funds to deliver and receive currency at a specified future date. Transactions involving forward currency contracts may serve as long hedges (for example, if a Fund seeks to buy a security denominated in a foreign security, it may purchase a forward currency contract to lock in the U.S. dollar price of the security) or as short hedges (if a Fund anticipates selling a security denominated in a foreign currency, it may sell a forward currency contract to lock in the U.S. dollar equivalent of the anticipated sales proceeds). Forward contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded daily as the difference between the contract exchange rate and the closing forward rate applied to the face amount of the contract.

Options

The Funds may purchase and write call or put options on securities and indices and enter into related closing transactions. All of the Funds may invest in options that are listed on U.S. exchanges or traded over the counter. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on

GuideMark® Funds & GuidePath® Funds

March 31, 2021


 

which the security underlying the option is principally traded. If no sales are reported on a particular day for exchange-traded options, or the options are not exchange-traded, the options are valued at the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked quotations at the close of the exchange. The premium that a Fund pays when purchasing a call option or receives when writing a call option will reflect, among other things, the market price of the security, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price of the security, the relationship of the exercise price to the volatility of the security, the length of the option period and supply and demand factors. The premium is the value of an option at the date of purchase.

A purchaser (holder) of a put option pays a non-refundable premium to the seller (writer) of a put option to obtain the right to sell a specified amount of a security at a fixed price (the exercise price) during a specified period (exercise period). Conversely, the seller (writer) of a put option, upon payment by the holder of the premium, has the obligation to buy the security from the holder of the put option at the exercise price during the exercise period.

Futures

Each Fund has the ability to buy and sell stock index futures contracts traded on domestic stock exchanges to hedge the value of its portfolio against changes in market conditions. A stock index futures contract is an agreement between two parties to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to a specified dollar amount, times the difference between stock index value at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the futures contract is originally struck. A stock index futures contract does not involve the physical delivery of the underlying stocks in the index. Although stock index futures

contracts call for the actual taking of delivery of cash, in most cases a Fund expects to liquidate its stock index futures positions through offsetting transactions, which may result in a gain or loss, before cash settlement is required.

The Funds may purchase or sell other types of futures contracts, including those based on particular interest rates, securities, foreign currencies, securities indices and other financial instruments and indices. The Funds may also purchase and write call and put options on such futures contracts, in order to seek to increase total return or to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities prices, or currency exchange rates, or, to the extent permitted by its investment policies, to otherwise manage its portfolio of investments.

Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Swaps

The Funds may enter into interest rate, mortgage, credit, currency and total return swaps, interest rate caps, floors and collars. The Funds may also purchase and write (sell) options contracts on swaps, referred to as “swaptions”. The Funds may enter into swap transactions for hedging purposes or to seek to increase total return. Since interest rate, mortgage, credit and currency swaps and interest rate caps, floors and collars are individually negotiated, the Funds expect to achieve an acceptable degree of correlation between their portfolio investments and their swap, cap, floor and collar positions.

Swap agreements are valued using the daily mean and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded daily as the difference between the prior day and current day closing price.

 

 

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Each Trust has adopted derivative instruments disclosure standards, in order to enable the investor to understand how and why an entity used derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

In general, the use of derivatives may increase the risk within the Funds. The use of over-the-counter derivatives involves the risk that the counterparty to the contract will fail to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the contract. The results achieved by the use of derivatives in the Funds may not match or fully offset changes in the value of the underlying financial assets being hedged or the investment opportunity the Funds were pursuing, thereby failing to achieve, to an extent, the original purpose for using the derivatives. Certain types of derivatives may create leverage insofar as the Funds may receive returns (or suffer losses) exceeding the initial amounts the Funds committed in connection with the derivatives. The use of derivatives can result in losses or gains to the Funds exceeding the amount the Funds would have experienced in the absence of using derivatives. A relatively small price movement in a derivative may result in an immediate and substantial loss, or gain, to the Funds.

GuideMark® Core Fixed Income Fund

During the year, the Fund used fixed income derivatives including U.S. Treasury futures and credit default swaps on investment grade fixed income indices (CDX and CMBX), for both hedging and investment purposes, primarily duration management, risk management, and the pursuit of relative value opportunities. Futures contracts used in the Fund during the year included those based on short, medium, and long-term U.S. Treasury debt.

The Fund used futures contracts during the year primarily to manage interest rate risk. The Fund used investment grade CDX and CMBX to efficiently manage investment grade credit exposure.

GuidePath® Managed Futures Strategy Fund

The Fund uses a set of proprietary quantitative models to identify price trends in equity, fixed income, currency and commodity instruments, and may have both short and long exposures within an asset class based on an analysis of asset price trends. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will make extensive use of derivative instruments, in particular futures contracts, to capture the exposures suggested by its absolute return strategy while also adding value through volatility management. These market exposures, which are expected to change over time, may include exposures to global equity and fixed income securities, securities indices, currencies, commodities and other instruments. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Fund used long and short contracts on U.S. and foreign government bonds, U.S. and foreign equity market indices, foreign currencies, commodities (through investments in the Subsidiary) and short-term interest rates to capture the exposures suggested by the quantitative investment models.

GuidePath® Growth and Income Fund

During the year, the Fund used equity derivatives including S&P 500 Index futures and S&P 500 Index and exchange trade funds (“ETFs”) options, for both hedging and investment purposes, primarily risk management, and the pursuit of excess premium opportunities. The Fund used futures contracts during the year primarily to manage portfolio risk (volatility). The Fund wrote collateralized put options in an attempt to generate returns through receiving the option premiums; together with investments in fixed income instruments, it intended to lower the volatility relative to as if the Fund held the S&P 500 index.

Derivative Risks

The risks of using the various types of derivatives in which the Funds may engage include: the risk that movements in the value of the derivative may not fully offset or complement instruments currently held in the Funds in the manner intended by the Advisor or sub-advisor; the risk that the counterparty to a derivative contract may fail to comply with its obligations to the Funds; the risk that there may not be a liquid secondary market for the derivative at a time when the Funds would look to disengage the position; the risk that additional capital from the Funds may be called upon to fulfill the conditions of the derivative contract; the risk that the use of derivatives in the Funds may induce leverage in the Funds, and the risk that the cost of the derivative contracts may reduce the overall returns experienced by the Funds.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

GuideMark® Core Fixed Income Fund

The Fund is subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow the Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Netting Arrangement.

GuidePath® Growth and Income Fund

The Fund is subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow the Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Netting Arrangement.

The table below, as of March 31, 2021, discloses both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and instruments and transactions that are subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement as well as amounts related to collateral held at clearing brokers and counterparties.

In some instances, the collateral amounts disclosed in the tables were adjusted due to the requirement to limit the collateral amounts to avoid the effect of overcollateralization. Actual collateral received/pledged may be more than the amounts disclosed herein.

Due to the absence of a master netting agreement relating to the Funds’ participation in securities lending, no additional disclosures have been made on behalf of the Funds. Please reference Note 7 for collateral related to securities on loan.

 

  (m)   Securities Purchased or Sold on a Forward-Commitment Basis

The Funds may enter into when-issued or other purchase or sale transactions that specify forward delivery of a financial security. In connection with this ability, the Funds may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which a Fund sells securities in the current month for delivery and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity), but not identical securities on a specified future date. The party that is obligated to buy a security in the future will retain the use of their funds, and will benefit from any interest that is earned on those funds from the day that they enter into the forward contract until the day that they take

delivery and pay for the security. Each Fund designated and maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for securities purchased on a forward-commitment basis.

(n) Foreign Securities – For purposes of these financial statements, foreign securities are defined as securities issued by companies that are organized outside the United States. Investing in these types of securities make a fund more susceptible to additional risks. These risks include currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, less government regulation, less publicly available information, limited trading markets, differences in financial reporting standards, fewer protections for passive

investors and less stringent regulation of securities markets. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government. Occasionally, events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur after the close of the exchange on which such securities are traded. If such events materially affect the value of a Fund’s securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board.

 

  (o)   Foreign Currency Translation

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and all other assets and liabilities of the Funds denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the dates of the respective transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the fluctuations on investments resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies include those gains and losses arising from the sale of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on foreign currency transactions, the differences between the amounts of dividends, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on a Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments includes changes in the value of investments resulting from exchange rates.

The value of the Funds’ foreign holdings as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as a change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar generally will result in a corresponding change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that currency held by a Fund. In addition to the risks of foreign currency exchange rates generally, trading in the currencies of certain countries may face periods of limited liquidity or the political risk of exchange controls or currency repatriation restrictions, which may in turn make such holdings denominated in those currencies difficult to value. The Funds may also incur losses in connection with conversions between various currencies.

 

  (p)   Restricted and Illiquid Securities

No Fund may acquire any illiquid investment if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of it’s net assets in illiquid investments that are assets. The Advisor, with the assistance of the sub-advisors and/or pricing services, will determine the value of such securities in good faith pursuant to procedures adopted by the applicable Board of Trustees. Illiquid securities present the risks that a Fund may have difficulty valuing these holdings and/or may be unable to sell these holdings at the time or price desired. There are no restrictions on each Fund’s ability to invest in restricted securities (that is, securities that are not registered pursuant to

the Securities Act of 1933), except to the extent such securities may be considered illiquid. Securities issued pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933 will be considered liquid if determined to be so under the Funds’ liquidity guidelines.

 

  (q)   Auction Rate Securities

The Core Fixed Income Fund and each of the GPS Funds II portfolios may invest in auction rate municipal securities. Auction rate securities usually permit the holder to sell the securities in an auction at par value at specified intervals. The dividend is reset by “Dutch” auction in which bids are made by broker-dealers and other institutions for a certain amount of securities at a specified minimum yield. The dividend rate set by the auction is the lowest interest or dividend rate that covers all securities offered for sale. While this process is designed to permit auction rate securities to be traded at par value, there is a risk that an auction will fail due to insufficient demand for the securities.

 

  (r)   Short Sales

Although not currently part of any Fund’s principal investment strategy, each Fund has the ability to make equity short sales. Short sales are transactions where a Fund sells securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the value of the securities.

 

  (s)   Trustee Compensation

During the year ended March 31, 2021, for the services performed as Trustees of the consolidated Board of GPS Funds I, GPS Funds II, and Savos Investments Trust, which currently consists of one fund, the Independent Trustees receive a retainer fee of $87,500 per year, $5,000 for each quarterly meeting and annual agreement renewal review meeting, whether held in-person or telephonically, $5,000 for each special meeting attended in person and $2,000 for each special meeting attended telephonically, as well as reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with attendance at such meetings. Effective April 1, 2021, the Trustees will receive a retainer fee of $90,000 per year, $5,000 for each quarterly meeting and annual agreement renewal review meeting, whether held in-person or telephonically, $5,000 for each special meeting attended in person and $2,500 for each special meeting attended telephonically, as well as reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with attendance at such meetings. The fees are allocated proportionally to each Fund within the Trusts based on total assets under management.

The “interested persons” who serve as Trustees of the Trusts receive no compensation from the Trusts for their services as Trustees. The Funds reimburse the Advisor an allocated amount for the compensation and related expenses of certain officers of the Trusts who provide compliance services to the Funds. The aggregate amount of all such reimbursements is determined by the Trustees. No other compensation or retirement benefits are received by any Trustee or officer from the Funds.

 

  (t)   Pending Litigation

The Funds are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business (for example, in The Tribune Company Bankruptcy, certain creditors have filed actions against all shareholders of The Tribune Company, which included the GuideMark® Emerging Markets Fund, who tendered shares when the Tribune Company went private in

2007 in a leveraged buy-out transaction, seeking the return of proceeds received by the shareholders). Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.

 

  (u)   Participatory Notes (“participation notes”)

Each Fund may invest in participation notes. Participation notes are unsecured, bearer securities typically issued by financial institutions, the return of which is generally linked to the performance of the underlying listed shares of a company in an emerging market (for example, the shares in a company incorporated in India and listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange). Participation notes are often used to gain exposure to securities of companies in the markets that restrict foreign ownership of local companies.

The terms of participation notes vary widely. Investors in participation notes do not have or receive any rights relating to the underlying shares, and the issuers of the notes may not be obligated to hold any shares in the underlying companies. Participation notes are not currently regulated by the governments of the countries upon which securities the notes are based. These instruments, issued by brokers with global registration, bear counterparty risk and may bear additional liquidity risk. These securities have been deemed to be liquid as of March 31, 2021.

 

4.   Investment Advisor

Each Trust has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AssetMark, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “AssetMark”), with whom certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Funds. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Funds compensate the Advisor for its management services at the following annual contractual rates, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets:

 

Large Cap Core Fund

     0.45%  

Emerging Markets Fund

     0.59%  

Small/Mid Cap Core Fund

     0.57%

     0.45%  

AssetMark also provides certain administrative services to the shares of the Conservative Income Fund, Income Fund and Growth and Income Fund, and to the Service Shares of the remaining Funds, pursuant to Administrative Services Agreements between the Funds and AssetMark, for which AssetMark receives a fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the applicable class of shares of each Fund. The administrative services may include: (1) development

and maintenance of a web-based software platform for both investment advisers and clients; (2) creation of a customized full color client investment policy statement for each individual client; (3) initiation and set up of individual client accounts, as well as the daily administration, reconciliation and trading of accounts, including automated rebalancing among Funds in connection with the asset allocation strategy selected by the client; (4) production and distribution of comprehensive full-color quarterly performance reviews; (5) facilitation of new account investments, withdrawals, transfers, and account re-registrations with the applicable account custodian; (6) review and follow-up on all custodial paperwork; (7) telephone and on-line customer support, provided by a highly trained and licensed customer service department; (8) compliance work associated with the delivery of the AssetMark Platform services, including, but not limited to, maintaining Form ADV, handling regulatory audits, monitoring Code of Ethics, assisting financial advisory firms with compliance questions and concerns, and maintaining and updating all agreements financial advisors utilize with their clients; and (9) legal work associated with administering the AssetMark Platform. Investors holding Service Shares the Funds and/or shares of the Conservative Income Fund, Income Fund and Growth and Income Fund outside of the AssetMark Platform are subject to these administrative services fees, but may not receive all of the related services.

In addition, GPS Funds I and the Advisor have also entered into a Fee Waiver Agreement designed to provide Fund shareholders with the economic benefits of economies of scale that may be realized as Fund assets increase. Under the Fee Waiver Agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive, 0.025% of each Fund’s annual advisory fee on GPS Funds I assets in excess of $6 billion and an additional 0.025% of each Fund’s annual advisory fee on GPS Funds I assets in excess of $12 billion.

Each Fund and the Advisor have also entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement under which the Advisor has agreed to waive, through July 31, 2022, its management fee and/or reimburse each Fund’s other expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (excluding taxes, interest, trading costs, acquired fund expenses, expenses paid with securities lending expense offset credits and non-routine expenses) do not exceed the following rates (“Expense Limits”), based on daily net assets of each class of each Fund:

Effective April 1, 2021, the Expense Limits for the applicable Funds’ Service Shares were reduced by 25 basis points in connection with the termination of the Funds’ Rule 12b-1 Plan. See note 2(c).

Any such contractual waiver or reimbursement is subject to later adjustment to allow the Advisor to recoup amounts waived or reimbursed to the extent actual fees and expenses for a fiscal period are less than each Fund’s Expense Limits at the time of the waiver, provided, however, that the Advisor shall only be entitled to recoup

such amounts for a period of three years after the end of the calendar month in which the fee or expense was waived or reimbursed. As of March 31, 2021, Large Cap Core Fund, Emerging Markets Fund Service Class Shares, Small/Mid Cap Core Fund, World ex-US Fund Service Class Shares, Growth Allocation Fund, Tactical Allocation Fund, Multi-Asset Income Allocation Fund and Managed Futures Strategy Fund have recouped all potential recoverable waivers or reimbursed expenses.

Sub-advisory services are provided to certain of the Funds, pursuant to agreements between the Advisor and various sub-advisors. Under the terms of these sub-advisory agreements, the Advisor compensates each sub-advisor based on the portion of each Fund’s average daily net assets that is allocated to the sub-advisor.

 

5.   Distribution Plan

For the year ended March 31, 2021, each Trust, on behalf of the Service Shares class of its Funds, as applicable, had a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plan”), which authorized each Fund to pay distribution fees at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ Service Shares. Payments under the 12b-1 Plan were used to compensate persons (including affiliates of the Trust) who provide support services in connection with the distribution of the Funds’ Service Shares class and servicing of the Funds’ Service Shares class shareholders. For example, these amounts are paid to financial intermediaries that perform back office shareholder servicing and recordkeeping services that facilitate the operation of the AssetMark Program through which the Funds are primarily distributed. The Advisor (and its affiliates) similarly received portions of such payments for their services provided to facilitate the operation of the program. These financial intermediaries and affiliates of the Trust also receive payments from the Trust outside of the 12b-1 Plan for shareholder services that are unrelated to distribution services. AssetMark BrokerageTM, LLC (“Distributor”), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as the Funds principal underwriter and distributor. The Funds did not pay any commissions or other compensation, other than 12b-1 fees, to the Distributor during the Funds’ most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

As noted above, effective as of April 1, 2021, the Board determined to terminate the Funds’ 12b-1 Plans. As a result, Service Shares of the Funds no longer pay Rule 12b-1 fees as of April 1, 2021. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsequent to the termination of the Rule 12b-1 Plans, financial intermediaries and affiliates of the Trust will continue to receive payments from the Trust outside of the 12b-1 Plan for shareholder services that are unrelated to distribution services.

 

6.   Service, Custody, and Line of Credit Agreements

The Funds have entered into Service Agreements with U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services”) and a Custody Agreement with U.S. Bank, N.A. (“USB” or the “Custodian”), an affiliate of Fund Services. Under these agreements, Fund Services and the Custodian provide certain transfer agency, administrative, accounting and custody services.

The Funds have established a line of credit (“LoC”) with USB to be used for temporary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments, using the securities in the Funds’ portfolios as collateral. Savos Investments Trust, which is also managed by AssetMark, is also party to the same LoC agreement. The LoC was renewed August 1, 2020 and will mature, unless renewed, on July 31, 2021. Borrowing under the LoC is limited to the lesser of 20% of the gross market value of a Fund, 20% of specific marketable securities acceptable to USB, or $250,000,000 for all Funds. The interest rate paid by the Funds on outstanding borrowings is equal to the prime rate, which was 3.25% at March 31, 2021. The Funds have authorized USB to charge any of the custody accounts of the Funds for any missed payments by the Funds. Interest expense incurred for the Funds is disclosed on the Statements of Operations.

7.   Securities Lending

The Trusts, on behalf of certain of the Funds, entered into securities lending arrangements with the Custodian. Under the terms of the agreement, the Custodian is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Funds to approved brokers. In exchange, under normal market conditions, the Funds receive cash collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of securities loaned for domestic securities, and 105% of the value of securities loaned with respect to foreign securities. The cash collateral is invested in the Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio, LLC of which the investment objective is to seek to maximize income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity and maintain a stable Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of $1.00. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities. In addition, the Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the investment of cash collateral received. After predetermined rebates to brokers, a percentage of the net securities lending revenue is credited to the Funds to be used

as an offset against costs and other charges incurred by the Funds with the Custodian or its affiliates or, as directed in writing by the Funds, other service providers. The Custodian is paid a fee for administering a securities lending program for the Funds, equal to the remaining percentage of the net securities lending revenues generated under the agreement.

During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Funds (excluding the Managed Futures Strategy Fund) had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash. The Funds continue to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing year. The cash collateral received was invested in securities as listed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Income earned from these investments is allocated to each Fund based on each Fund’s portion of total cash collateral received. The Funds also receive compensation in the form of fees which depend on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. Securities lending income is disclosed in each Fund’s Statement of Operations as a securities lending credit.

10.   COVID-19 Pandemic

The recent global outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Funds’ invest depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn impact the value of the Funds’ investments.

 

11.   New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair

Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect all companies that are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of ASU 2018-13 and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures, which are required for public companies only, until their effective date. Management has evaluated ASU 2018-13 and has adopted the relevant provisions of the disclosure framework.

 

 

12.   Other Tax Information

Net investment income and realized gains and losses for Federal income tax purposes may differ from that reported on the financial statements because of permanent book-to-tax differences. GAAP requires that permanent differences between financial reporting and tax reporting be reclassified between various components of net assets.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2014.

6.   Statement Regarding the Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)

GPS FUNDS I and GPS FUNDS II: Annual Consideration and Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

At a meeting held on December 3, 2020 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of GPS Funds I and GPS Funds II (collectively, the “Trusts”) conducted its annual review and consideration of the renewal of the investment advisory agreements between AssetMark, Inc. (“AssetMark”) and each Trust on behalf of its respective series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and the renewal of the investment advisory agreement between AssetMark and the wholly-owned Cayman Islands subsidiary of the GuidePath® Managed Futures Strategy Fund, GuidePath® Managed Futures Strategy Cayman Fund Ltd. (the “Cayman Subsidiary”) (each such agreement, an “Advisory Agreement,” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). Additionally, the Board considered the renewal of the investment sub-advisory agreements between (i) Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) and AssetMark, on behalf of GuideMark® Large Cap Core Fund, GuideMark® Emerging Markets Fund, GuideMark® Small/Mid Cap Core Fund, and GuideMark® World ex-US Fund; (ii) Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington”) and AssetMark, on behalf of the GuideMark® Core Fixed Income Fund; and (iii) AlphaSimplex Group, LLC (“ASG”) and AssetMark, on behalf of the GuidePath® Managed Futures Strategy Fund and the Cayman Subsidiary (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement, and collectively, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”).

Hereinafter, GSAM, Wellington, and ASG are collectively referred to as the “Sub-Advisors” and the above-listed Funds are collectively referred to as the “Sub-Advised Funds.” The Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreements.” The Sub-Advised Funds are managed using a “manager-of-managers” structure that generally involves the use of one or more sub-advisors to manage allocated portions of the Sub-Advised Funds’ portfolios. For those Sub-Advised Funds AssetMark is responsible for evaluating and selecting sub-advisors on an ongoing basis and making any decisions to recommend hiring, retaining, or replacing sub-advisors. The Board is engaged in monitoring this process in connection with its meetings held throughout the year, and under the manager-of-managers structure, all parties understand that sub-advisors are being monitored and evaluated, and are subject to replacement, at all times.

The Board – including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Funds or AssetMark as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”) – determined to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements. In connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered several factors they deemed relevant to the process, including: the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to each Fund by the Advisor; the costs of providing services to each Fund; the anticipated profitability to be realized by the Advisor; any potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits to the Advisor or its affiliates; the potential effects of asset growth and related economies of scale on each fund’s expenses; and the fees charged by investment advisers of other comparable funds. The material factors considered and the conclusions that formed the basis of the Board’s approval of the renewal of the Agreements are described below. This summary describes the most significant, but not all, of the factors evaluated by the Board. Prior to considering the approval of the renewal of the Agreements, the Trustees requested, received, and reviewed information relevant to their consideration of the Agreements. The Trustees also received assistance and advice regarding legal and industry standards from counsel to the Trusts and separately from independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees (“Independent Counsel”). Prior to approving the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with Independent Counsel without representatives of the Advisor or its affiliates. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of Independent Counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each Investment Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information available to the Trustees and not the result of any particular information or any single factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to various information and factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the renewal of the Agreements.

The Advisory Agreements

Materials Reviewed and the Review Process

Prior to voting to approve the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees – assisted by Independent Counsel – specifically requested and were furnished with materials supplied by counsel and AssetMark for purposes of their review of each Advisory Agreement. The materials provided to the Board with regard to the Funds included, among other information: (1) a copy of each Advisory Agreement; (2) information describing each Fund’s performance compared to the Fund’s peer group of other investment companies with investment objectives similar to the investment objective(s) of the Fund; (3) information describing the nature, quality and extent of the services that AssetMark provides to the respective Funds, and the fees AssetMark charges to the Funds for such services, and a comparison of those fees to the fees paid by a peer group of other investment companies having investment objectives similar to the investment objectives of the respective Funds; (4) information regarding AssetMark’s business and operations, investment team, compliance program and internal procedures; (5) information describing each Fund’s expense ratio compared to the Fund’s peer group of other registered investment companies with investment objectives similar to the investment objective(s) of the Fund; (6) information regarding the financial condition of AssetMark; (7) information regarding AssetMark’s profitability overall and with respect to each Fund, including information regarding the anticipated impact to the Advisor’s profitability of the proposed liquidation of the GuideMark Tax-Exempt Fixed Income Fund and GuideMark Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund (the “Liquidating Funds”) and the proposed changes to the GuideMark and GuidePath Funds’ fee structures, each anticipated to take effect on or about April 1, 2021; (8) reports on AssetMark’s evaluation of the Sub-Advisors, including reports relating to the monitoring of each Sub-Advisor’s trading and brokerage practices; (9) reports relating to the distribution, sales and redemptions of Fund shares and related shareholder services; (10) reports relating to the monitoring of the other service providers; and (11) other information relevant to an evaluation of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by AssetMark in response to a series of detailed questions posed by Independent Counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees. The Trustees met with representatives of AssetMark. The Trustees also considered their discussions with and presentations from representatives of AssetMark throughout the course of the Meeting. In addition, the Trustees considered information furnished to the Board and its Committees throughout the year and in between regularly scheduled meetings on particular matters as the need arose. Information provided to the Board and its Committees at their meetings throughout the year included, among other things, reports on Fund performance, compliance and risk management matters, sales activity, revenue and profitability of AssetMark, and the Funds’ distribution and servicing arrangements and related compensation.

The Trustees received assistance and advice regarding legal and industry standards from counsel to the Trusts and separately from Independent Counsel, which included detailed memoranda from Independent Counsel that described the Trustees’ legal duties and obligations in considering whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements prior to the Meeting and during the course of their meeting in executive session with Independent Counsel, at which no representatives of AssetMark were present.

Factors Considered

The Trustees considered and reached conclusions on a number of factors that they deemed relevant in making the decision to approve the renewal of each Advisory Agreement. These factors and conclusions are described below.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that AssetMark provides to the Funds. With respect to the Sub-Advised Funds, the Board considered the fact that, as an investment advisor operating within a manager-of-managers structure, AssetMark maintains a primary focus on the selection, evaluation and oversight of the Sub-Advisors and considered each Advisory Agreement in this context. In this regard, the Trustees considered the information provided to them throughout the course of the year during regular meetings of the Board, which

 

168


GuideMark® Funds & GuidePath® Funds

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Continued)

March 31, 2021


 

included meetings with the Trusts’ CCO at which the Trustees are provided with details regarding AssetMark’s compliance functions. In addition, the Trustees took into account the Advisor’s communications with the Board in light of the market volatility amidst the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic.

The Trustees considered AssetMark’s investment team and its capabilities, including with respect to the responsibilities that AssetMark has for the Funds that pursue their investment objectives through investments in other funds (each a “Fund-of-Funds”). The Trustees also considered AssetMark’s capabilities with respect to the administrative and compliance services provided to the Funds. The Trustees considered the experience, capability and integrity of AssetMark’s management and other personnel, the role of AssetMark’s senior management and the extent of its involvement with the Funds, and AssetMark’s willingness to add personnel over time in order to ensure that appropriate staffing levels are maintained. With respect to the Sub-Advised Funds, the Trustees noted the responsibilities that AssetMark has under certain Funds’ manager-of-managers structure, including: selecting and oversight of the Funds’ Sub-Advisors; maintaining a comprehensive compliance and administration program; and implementing Fund policies.

The Trustees also considered (a) the financial position of AssetMark; (b) the quality of AssetMark’s regulatory and legal compliance policies, procedures and systems; (c) the nature, extent and quality of administrative and shareholder services provided by AssetMark to the Funds; and (d) AssetMark’s supervision of the Funds’ third-party service providers.

The Board considered the breadth and quality of services that AssetMark provides to the Funds. The Trustees also considered that the Funds are an integral part of AssetMark’s program of asset allocation and shareholder services. Additionally, with respect to the Sub-Advised Funds, the Trustees considered AssetMark’s ability to provide administrative and compliance-related services in connection with AssetMark’s (a) oversight of the Sub-Advisors’ compliance with the Funds’ respective investment objectives, policies, and restrictions; (b) review of trading and brokerage matters; and (c) other oversight activities.

The Trustees also considered the Advisor’s investments in business continuity planning designed to benefit the Funds, and the implementation of the Advisor’s business continuity planning plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Trustees also noted the Advisor’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to prepare for and respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environments in which the Funds and their service providers operate, including changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Based on the factors described above, among other factors, as well as the information provided to the Board throughout the year, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by AssetMark, which will continue to be provided to each Fund.

Investment Performance

The Trustees considered the overall investment performance of the Funds, and, with respect to the Sub-Advised Funds, evaluated the Funds’ performance in the context of the manager-of-managers structure. The Trustees considered whether the Funds operated in a manner consistent with their investment objectives and styles and considered each Fund’s record of compliance with its respective investment restrictions.

The Trustees also considered each Fund’s investment performance relative to its respective benchmark index and relative to the performance of funds with comparable investment strategies selected by a third-party information provider. The Trustees also considered performance-related data received throughout the past year at and in connection with meetings of the Board. With respect to each Fund-of-Funds, the Trustees reviewed the performance of AssetMark in selecting the underlying funds for the Fund.

The Trustees considered that, as applicable, AssetMark continued to be proactive in seeking to replace and/or add Sub-Advisors or underlying funds, to reallocate assets among Sub-Advisors or underlying funds and to implement new investment strategies, with a view to improving Fund performance over the long term.

The Trustees concluded that AssetMark’s performance record in managing each of the Funds was satisfactory and supported a decision to approve the renewal of the Advisory Agreements.

Advisory Fees and Total Expenses

The Trustees considered a detailed analysis of each Fund’s fees and expenses. The materials provided to the Board included (i) a comparison of the advisory fees and total expenses of each Fund (as a percentage of average net assets) with the fees and expenses of a group of funds selected by a third-party information provider; (ii) comparisons of each Fund’s expenses to industry averages; and (iii) fee schedules for the Funds’ Sub-Advisors , as applicable.

The Trustees considered expense limitation arrangements under which AssetMark has agreed to limit the Funds’ expenses. With respect to each Fund-of-Funds, the Trustees considered the indirect expenses borne by the Funds as shareholders of certain underlying funds. The Trustees also considered other efforts by AssetMark to reduce overall Fund expenses, including attempts to improve asset flows, implementing programs such as securities lending and negotiating strategic contracts with service providers.

In analyzing the Funds’ fee levels as compared to other similar funds, the Trustees considered the Funds’ fee levels in light of the Funds’ special distribution structure, under which the Funds were distributed as part of a suite of products and services with asset allocation modeling, full performance reporting and other services that are not typically provided with mutual funds. In this regard, while the Board recognized that

 

169


GuideMark® Funds & GuidePath® Funds

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Continued)

March 31, 2021


 

comparisons between a Fund and its peer group may be imprecise given the Funds’ special distribution structure, among other differences, the comparative information assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of each Fund’s fees and expenses.

After comparing each Fund’s fees with other comparable funds and industry averages, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by AssetMark, as well as the costs incurred by AssetMark in rendering those services, the Trustees concluded that the level of fees paid to AssetMark with respect to each Fund was reasonable. In addition, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that the fees to be charged by AssetMark pursuant to the Advisory Agreements are for services provided in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided under any underlying fund’s investment advisory agreement.

Profitability, Economies of Scale and Ancillary Benefits

The Trustees reviewed and discussed the financial information presented by AssetMark, including information relating to the financial stability of AssetMark and its historical and anticipated profitability with respect to its management of the Funds. The Trustees discussed the methods used by AssetMark to allocate expenses to the Funds under its profitability analysis, and the Trustees considered the individual profitability of AssetMark with respect to each Fund under this methodology.

In evaluating AssetMark’s profitability, the Trustees acknowledged that the Funds are distributed in connection with AssetMark providing a package of administrative and other services as the sponsor of AssetMark’s investment platform and considered the benefits that flow to Fund shareholders as a result of these services. Additionally, the Trustees considered AssetMark’s existing agreements to waive advisory fees received from certain Funds and/or pay certain Fund expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that the Funds’ overall expenses do not exceed certain levels.

The Trustees considered ancillary benefits received by AssetMark as a result of its relationship with the Funds, including the benefits of offering an integrated set of investment options as an integral part of AssetMark’s asset allocation investment programs and the related compensation paid by certain third-party custodians to AssetMark in exchange for AssetMark providing a combination of administrative/shareholder services and distribution-related services (custodial rebates). The Trustees concluded that these benefits were reasonable.

The Trustees considered AssetMark’s profitability in managing each Fund, the anticipated effect of asset growth on each Fund’s expenses, and other information that might suggest the potential for realizing economies of scale that could be shared with Fund shareholders. The Trustees considered the fee waiver agreements under which AssetMark had agreed to waive expenses based upon the achievement of certain breakpoints listed in the agreement.

The Trustees concluded, in light of the foregoing factors, that AssetMark’s level of profitability with respect to each Fund is reasonable. Additionally, the Trustees concluded that the economies of scale being realized by AssetMark, if any, do not mandate the implementation of new or amended breakpoints or other changes in the fee structure for any Fund at this time.

Conclusion

After consideration of the foregoing factors, and such other matters as were deemed relevant, and with no single factor being determinative to their decision, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded to approve the renewal of each Advisory Agreement with, and the fee to be paid to, AssetMark for each of the Funds.

The Sub-Advisory Agreements

Materials Reviewed and the Review Process

Prior to voting to approve the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees – assisted by Independent Counsel – specifically requested and were furnished with materials supplied by counsel, AssetMark and each Sub-Advisor for purposes of their review. The materials provided to the Board included, among other information: (1) a copy of each Sub-Advisory Agreement; (2) information regarding the nature, quality and scope of the services to be provided by the Sub-Advisors; (3) the investment performance of each Sub-Advisor in managing their respective Fund compared to an industry peer group, appropriate benchmark, and comparable Sub-Advisor client accounts, to the extent applicable; (4) AssetMark’s evaluation of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by each Sub-Advisor; (5) information regarding any benefits to each Sub-Advisor, such as receipt of research from brokers, that might result from the Sub-Advisor’s relationship with a Sub-Advised Fund; (6) information concerning each Sub-Advisor’s personnel, business, operations and investment team, including biographical information for the investment professionals that are responsible for the day-to-day management of the applicable Sub-Advised Fund’s portfolio; (7) information regarding each Sub-Advisor’s compliance policies and other internal procedures, including the Sub-Advisor’s brokerage practices; (8) information regarding the financial condition of each Sub-Advisor or its parent company; and (9) other information relevant to an evaluation of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by each Sub-Advisor provided in response to a series of detailed questions posed by Independent Counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees. The Trustees also considered the recommendations of AssetMark with respect to each Sub-Advisor and the methods and resources AssetMark utilized in its efforts to identify and engage Sub-Advisors for the Sub-Advised Funds.

In connection with their consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered several factors that they deemed relevant to this process, including: (1) the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided to each Sub-Advised Fund by the respective Sub-Advisor; (2) the quantitative performance of each Sub-Advisor; (3) AssetMark’s evaluation, in accordance with its role as a “manager-of-managers,” of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by each Sub-Advisor; (4) information that might suggest the potential for realizing economies of

scale that could potentially be shared with Fund shareholders; and (5) any potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits to a Sub-Advisor or its affiliates. Prior to approving the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with Independent Counsel. The Independent Trustees were assisted by Independent Counsel throughout the review process. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of Independent Counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each Sub-Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Independent Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Independent Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to each Sub-Advisory Agreement. A more detailed summary of the important, but not necessarily all, of the factors the Independent Trustees considered with respect to their approval of the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreements is provided below.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

The Trustees considered each Sub-Advisor’s investment management process, including (a) the experience, capability and integrity of the Sub-Advisor’s management, investment professionals and other personnel; (b) the financial position of the Sub-Advisor; (c) the quality and commitment of the Sub-Advisor’s regulatory and legal compliance policies, procedures and systems; (d) the Sub-Advisor’s brokerage and trading practices; and (e) AssetMark’s evaluation of the nature, quality and extent of services performed by each Sub-Advisor.

The Trustees specifically considered the qualifications, experience and track record of the individuals and portfolio management teams at each Sub-Advisor that are responsible for the day-to-day management of each Sub-Advised Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also considered, with respect to each Sub-Advisor, the specific investment approach and level of expertise within its particular asset class. The Trustees considered whether each Sub-Advisor operated within its respective Fund’s investment objective and style and considered each Sub-Advisor’s record of compliance with applicable investment restrictions. The Trustees also considered each Sub-Advisor’s performance record with respect to the relevant benchmark(s).

The Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by each Sub-Advisor to its respective Sub-Advised Fund is satisfactory.

Sub-Advisor Investment Performance

The Trustees considered whether each Sub-Advisor operated within its respective Sub-Advised Fund’s investment objective and style and considered each Sub-Advisor’s record of compliance with applicable investment restrictions. The Trustees also considered each Sub-Advisor’s investment performance relative to benchmark indices.

The Trustees considered that they had reviewed each Sub-Advisor, including the primary contributors to and detractors from performance, with AssetMark and concluded that each Sub-Advisor’s performance record is satisfactory.

Sub-Advisory Fees, Economies of Scale, Profitability and Ancillary Benefits

The Trustees considered the fee paid to each Sub-Advisor by AssetMark for providing services to its relevant Sub-Advised Fund. The Trustees considered management’s representation that AssetMark’s focus in negotiating sub-advisory arrangements is on achieving favorable, competitive fee structures for each Fund, and that the sub-advisory fees are paid by AssetMark out of the investment advisory fees received and not the Funds. The Trustees also considered individual reports prepared with regard to each Sub-Advisor, containing comparative information regarding fees. The Trustees noted that each Sub-Advisor’s fees were generally similar to or lower than the fees charged by each Sub-Advisor to other comparable funds and accounts.

The Trustees considered each Sub-Advisor’s fee schedule, the anticipated effect of asset growth on each Fund’s expenses, and other information that might suggest the potential for realizing economies of scale that could be shared with Fund shareholders. In this regard, the Trustees noted that certain of the Sub-Advisory Agreements’ fee schedules contain breakpoints that present potential economies of scale that could potentially be shared with the Sub-Advised Funds’ shareholders as assets of the Sub-Advised Funds grow.

The Trustees concluded that the fees to be paid to each Sub-Advisor by AssetMark are reasonable in light of the services performed for the Sub-Advised Funds by the Sub-Advisors and that the economies of scale being realized by the Sub-Advisors, if any, do not mandate the implementation of any new or amended breakpoints or other changes in the fee structure for any Sub-Advised Fund at this time.

The Trustees did not consider the profitability of the Sub-Advisors to be a material factor based on representations from AssetMark that it negotiates sub-advisory fees with the Sub-Advisors on an arm’s-length basis and reports regarding any relationships between the Sub-Advisors and AssetMark.

The Trustees considered the allocation (if any) of Fund brokerage to brokers affiliated with a Sub-Advisor, and benefits to the Sub-Advisors from the use of “soft dollar” commissions (if any) to pay for research and brokerage services. The Trustees also considered any other ancillary benefits that accrue to a Sub-Advisor or any affiliate by virtue of the Sub-Advisor’s relationship with the Fund, and concluded that such benefits, if any, were reasonable.

Conclusion

After consideration of the foregoing factors, and such other matters as were deemed relevant, and with no single factor being determinative to their decision, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with, and the fees to be paid to, each of the Sub-Advisors for each of the relevant Sub-Advised Funds.

 

7.   Statement Regarding the Trusts’ Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)

This section discusses the operation and effectiveness of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) of GPS Funds I and GPS Funds II Trust (each, a “Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”), including each of their respective series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), established in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”). The Board of Trustees of each Trust (the “Board”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act, previously approved the Program on behalf of each Fund, as required pursuant to the Liquidity Rule. The Board also approved the designation of AssetMark, Inc. (“AssetMark”), the investment adviser to each Fund, as the Program Administrator for the Program. AssetMark administers day-to-day implementation of the Program through a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), as set forth in the Program.

At the meeting of the Board held on March 4, 2021, AssetMark, as Program Administrator, provided the Board with the annual report addressing the operation of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including, if applicable, the operation of any highly liquid investments minimum (“HLIM”) and any material changes to the Program (the “Report”).

The Report included an overview of the operation of the Program from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “Review Period”), including liquidity events relevant to the Funds, if any, during the Review Period and conclusions with respect to the adequacy of the policies and procedures of the Program and its effectiveness of implementation.

I. Key Conclusions of the Report

The Report concluded that (i) the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, taking into account the Fund’s particular risks and circumstances, and includes policies and procedures reasonably designed to implement each required component of the Liquidity Rule; (ii) each Fund’s investment strategy is appropriate for an open-end fund; (iii) each Fund was able to meet requests for redemptions without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund during the Review Period; and (iv) the Program was implemented and operated effectively to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk during the Review Period, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions, as applicable.

There were no material liquidity matters impacting the Funds identified in the Report. In addition, the Report noted that there were no material changes to the Program during the Review Period.

II. Summary of the Review

A. Liquidity Risk Assessment and Review

Throughout the Review Period, the Program Administrator, in consultation with the Funds’ sub-advisers, as applicable, and portfolio management teams, monitored the Funds’ portfolio liquidity and liquidity risk on an ongoing basis, as described in the Program and in quarterly Board reporting.

The Program Administrator also conducted an annual review assessing each Fund’s liquidity risk as described in the Report, in accordance with the requirements of the Program and the Liquidity Rule, taking into account the following factors enumerated in the Liquidity Rule and identified in the Program, as applicable:

a. Each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, including: (i) whether the Fund’s investment strategy is appropriate for an open-end fund; (ii) the extent to which the Fund’s strategy involves a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers; (iii) the Fund’s use of borrowings for investment purposes; and (iv) the Fund’s use of derivatives (including for hedging purposes);

b. Short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and

c. Holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements and other funding sources.

In addition, in connection with the review of the Funds’ liquidity risks and the operation of the Program and the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation, the Program Administrator also reviewed:

 

   

Reasonably Anticipated Trade Size and Significant Value Impact metrics for each Fund

 

   

Process for identifying and monitoring illiquid investments

 

   

Responsibilities and operations of the Committee

 

   

Effectiveness of third-party liquidity classification vendor

In light of the assessment and review as discussed above, the Program Administrator did not recommend any changes in the management of the Funds’ liquidity risk.

B. Portfolio Holdings Classifications

During the Review Period, each Fund’s portfolio holdings (including derivative investments) were classified monthly as Highly Liquid Investments, Moderately Liquid Investments, Less Liquid Investments and Illiquid Investments pursuant to the Program, as required by the Liquidity Rule. Upon the Committee’s review and approval, the classifications were recorded for reporting in each Fund’s Form N-PORT filings during the Review Period. The Report reviewed the classification methodology as provided in the Program and noted the liquidity classifications process operated effectively during the Review Period.

C. HLIM

Each Fund qualified as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund (“PHLF”) under the Program during the Review Period and accordingly, none of the Funds maintained or were required to establish an HLIM during the Review Period. There were no changes recommended in the Report with respect to the status of any Fund as a PHLF pursuant to the review.

D. Compliance with the 15% Limitation on Illiquid Investments

Pursuant to the Liquidity Rule, no Fund may acquire any illiquid investment if, after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its assets in illiquid investments that are assets (the “15% Limit”). All Funds were monitored daily for compliance with the 15% Limit during the Review Period. During the Review Period, the Funds operated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Program addressing the 15% Limit, including with respect to temporary investment illiquidity as a result of extended market closures. The Report also addressed significant liquidity matters which occurred or were reported during the Review Period applicable to the Funds, if any, and actions to address such matters as applicable.
