Governance

The MEPT Management Team's commitment to industry-leading governance, including a dedicated bank trustee, seeks to ensure that the management of the Fund is solely focused on the interests of its investors and their beneficiaries.

In 2001, MEPT established an Advisory Board to provide trustees and professionals of participating plans the opportunity to meet annually with MEPT management to discuss overall Fund strategy, direction and objectives, performance, market conditions, governance, fees, personnel changes and other topical issues. The Board generally consists of 5 to 10 members. A meeting of the Advisory Board is held at least once per year. Members serve on the Advisory Board in a non-fiduciary capacity. Neither the Advisory Board, nor its members, possess or exercise any investment or management discretion with respect to MEPT.
