managing portfolios for and delivering strategic advice to clients. The firm is a privately owned,
independent, registered investment adviser with 192 employees and offices in San Francisco and

B. INVESTMENT SERVICES
Hall Capital advises on and manages investment portfolios for families, endowments, foundations,
and other clients. Hall Capital, through its affiliates, also manages unregistered funds of funds (the
“HCP Pooled Vehicles”) that provide various commingled investment strategies for investors.
Clients invest with a wide spectrum of “underlying managers” (e.g., managers of private funds
(“underlying funds”), separate accounts, and certain mutual funds) either directly or through the
HCP Pooled Vehicles.
The core of Hall Capital’s business is the creation and management of customized global, multi-
asset class portfolios. Each portfolio is customized according to client-specific guidelines and is
managed or advised by one or more of the firm’s Portfolio Managers.
Hall Capital specializes in sourcing and selecting underlying managers, allocating capital globally
across investment strategies and asset classes, investment execution, portfolio accounting, and
reporting for complicated pools of capital. The firm’s Portfolio Management Group is experienced
with the distinct needs of families and different types of institutions and employs professionals who
have expertise in both areas.
Hall Capital’s Research Group consists of approximately 20 members and is responsible for
monitoring the capital markets, identifying investment opportunities and risks, and conducting due
diligence on underlying managers.

The Research Group is divided into teams that cover broad asset strategies: Public Equity, Private
Equity, and diversifying strategies which include Absolute Return/Credit and Real Assets. In each of
these areas Hall Capital’s perspective is global, including the North American, developed, and
emerging international markets. While the structure is team-based, there is significant collaboration
and integration across the teams, and decisions regarding the recommendation of underlying
managers are made through a centralized investment decision process. The firm’s Cross Asset
Research & Strategy function aims to further develop a broad perspective for framing and comparing
investment opportunities by looking across asset classes and markets, implementing additional data
analytics, considering strategic asset allocation, and conducting risk analysis.
The Research Group, with the support of our Full Consequence Investing® (“FCI”) team, also works
to integrate our FCI framework into our investment process by evaluating how managers incorporate
impact objectives and business model sustainability, environmental, social, and governance factors
into their strategies.
Hall Capital seeks to have a close working relationship, and foster long-term partnerships, with all
clients to establish and meet each client’s particular objectives and guidelines. The firm works on
either a discretionary or non-discretionary basis; our standard fee schedule is the same in both
instances. As of December 31, 2023, Hall Capital had non-discretionary authority over
approximately $26.3 billion in assets under management and discretionary authority over
approximately $17.2 billion in assets under management. Clients may impose restrictions on
investing in certain securities or types of securities.
