Through the CSD Retirement Trust the responsibilities for investment selection fall on the
Trust’s Investment Committee and Board of Advisors and Trustees. The Trust has engaged
an independent Registered Investment Advisor to provide fiduciary advice to the Trust
through the creation of a multi-manager, open architecture, institutionally priced mutual fund
platform. The creation of the fund line-up follows an investment policy statement approved
by the Trust. VALIC’s role is to provide the trading platform for the investments and assists
the Trust in the communication to participants of any changes to the fund line-up.
