SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT amended and restated as of the 1st day of June, 2010, by and between Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc., a California corporation (the "Advisor"), and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Sub-Advisor”).

WHEREAS, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor are registered investment advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”) and engage in the business of providing investment management services; and

WHEREAS, the Advisor has been retained to act as investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement dated October 20, 2006 and amended May 13, 2007 (the “Advisory Agreement”) with AssetMark Funds (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), currently consisting of several separate series of shares, each having its own investment objectives and policies and which is authorized to create more series; and

WHEREAS, the Advisory Agreement permits the Advisor, subject to the supervision and direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees, to delegate certain of its duties under the Advisory Agreement to other investment advisers, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act; and

WHEREAS, the Advisor has retained Sub-Advisor to assist it in the provision of a continuous investment program for that portion of one or more of the Trust’s series’ (each a “Fund”) assets which the Advisor has assigned to the Sub-Advisor (the “Sub-Advisor Assets”) pursuant to a Sub-Advisory Agreement dated as of June 15, 2004, as amended by a letter agreement signed July 17, 2006 (the “Agreement”), and the Sub-Advisor is willing to render such services subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of mutual covenants recited below, the parties desire to amend and restate the Agreement and therefore agree and promise as follows:

1. Appointment as Sub-Advisor. The Advisor hereby appoints the Sub-Advisor to act as investment adviser for and to manage the Sub-Advisor Assets, subject to the supervision of the Advisor and the Board of Trustees of, the Trust and subject to the terms of this Agreement; and the Sub-Advisor hereby accepts such appointment. In such capacity, the Sub-Advisor shall be responsible for the investment management of the Sub-Advisor Assets. The Sub-Advisor agrees to exercise the same skill and care in performing its services under this Agreement as the Sub-Advisor exercises in performing similar services with respect to other fiduciary accounts for which the Sub-Advisor has investment responsibilities.

2. Duties of Sub-Advisor.

(a) Investments. The Sub-Advisor is hereby authorized and directed and hereby agrees, subject to the stated investment objectives, policies and restrictions of each Fund as set forth in such Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information as currently in effect and as supplemented or amended from time to time (collectively referred to as the “Prospectus”) and subject to the directions of the Advisor and the Trust’s Board of Trustees, to purchase, hold and sell investments for the Sub-Advisor Assets and to monitor such investments on an ongoing basis to ensure that the investments continue to be appropriate. In providing these services, the Sub-Advisor will conduct an ongoing program of investment, evaluation and, if appropriate, sale and reinvestment of the Sub-Advisor Assets. The Advisor agrees to provide the Sub-Advisor information concerning a Fund, its assets available or to become available for investment, and generally as to the conditions of a Fund’s or the Trust’s affairs.

(b) Compliance with Applicable Laws and Governing Documents. In the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall with respect to Sub-Advisor Assets, act in conformity with the Trust’s Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, the Prospectus(es), and with the instructions and directions received in writing from the Advisor or the Trustees of the Trust and will conform to and comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, and all other federal laws applicable to registered investment companies and Sub-Advisors duties under this Agreement. The Advisor will provide the Sub-Advisor with a copy of the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Trust to the extent they may affect a Fund or the duties of the Sub-Advisor, and with the copies of any financial statements or reports made by a Fund to its shareholders, and any further materials or information which the Sub-Advisor may reasonably request to enable it to perform its functions under this Agreement.

The Advisor will provide the Sub-Advisor with reasonable advance notice, in writing, of any change in a Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions as stated in the Prospectus, or any change to the Trust’s Declaration of Trust or By-Laws and the Sub-Advisor shall, in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, manage the Sub-Advisor Assets consistent with such changes, provided the Sub-Advisor has received such prior notice of the effectiveness of such changes from the Trust or the Advisor. In addition to such notice, the Advisor shall provide to the Sub-Advisor a copy of a modified Prospectus reflecting such changes. The Sub-Advisor hereby agrees to provide to the Advisor in a timely manner, in writing, such information relating to the Sub-Advisor and its relationship to, and actions for, a Fund as may be required to be contained in the Prospectus or in the Trust’s registration statement on Form N-1A.

(c) Voting of Proxies. The Sub-Advisor shall have the power to vote, either in person or by proxy, all securities in which the Sub-Advisor Assets may be invested from time to time, and shall not be required to seek instructions from the Advisor, the Trust or a Fund. At the request of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor shall provide its recommendations as to the voting of such proxies. The Sub-Advisor shall also provide its Proxy Voting Policy (the “Policy”) and will provide the Advisor with any material amendment to the Policy within a reasonable time after such amendment has taken effect. If both the Sub-Advisor and another entity managing assets of a Fund have invested in the same security, the Sub-Advisor and such other entity will each have the power to vote its pro rata share of the security.

-2-

(d) Agent. Subject to any other written instructions of the Advisor or the Trust, the Sub-Advisor is hereby appointed the Advisor’s and the Trust’s agent and attorney-in-fact for the limited purposes of executing account documentation, agreements, contracts and other documents as the Sub-Advisor shall be requested by brokers, dealers, counterparties and other persons in connection with its management of the Sub-Advisor Assets, provided that, the Sub-Advisor’s actions in executing such documents shall comply with federal regulations, all other federal laws applicable to registered investment companies and Sub-Advisors duties under this Agreement and the Trust’s governing documents.

(e) Brokerage. The Sub-Advisor will place orders pursuant to the Sub-Advisor’s investment determinations for a Fund either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer. In executing portfolio transactions and selecting brokers or dealers, the Sub-Advisor will use its best efforts to seek on behalf of a Fund the best overall execution available. In assessing the best overall terms available for any transaction, the Sub-Advisor shall consider all factors that it deems relevant, including the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer, and the reasonableness of the commission, if any, both for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. In evaluating the best overall terms available, and in selecting the broker-dealer to execute a particular transaction the Sub-Advisor may also consider the brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) provided to a Fund and/or other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor may exercise investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized, subject to the prior approval of the Trust’s Board of Trustees, to pay to a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for any of the Funds that is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if, but only if, the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that such commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer , viewed in terms of that particular transaction or in terms of the overall responsibilities of the Sub-Advisor to a Fund.

In addition, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to allocate purchase and sale orders for portfolio securities to brokers or dealers (including brokers and dealers that are affiliated with the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor, the Trust’s principal underwriter, or other sub-advisors) if the Sub-Advisor believes that the quality of the transaction and the commission are comparable to what they would be with other qualified firms, and provided that the transactions are consistent with the Trust’s 17e-1 and 10f-3 procedures. The Advisor has identified all broker-dealers affiliated with either the Trust or Advisor (or the other Sub-Advisors of the Fund, to the extent such information is necessary for the Sub-Advisor to comply with applicable federal securities laws), other than those whose sole business is the distribution of mutual fund shares, who effect securities transactions for customers. Advisor shall promptly furnish a written notice to Sub-Advisor if the information so provided is no longer accurate. The Sub-Advisor shall not bear any responsibility and shall be released from any obligation or cost which results from entering into a trade that, but for Advisor’s failure to notify the Sub-Advisor of an affiliated relationship, would have been effected pursuant to Rule 17a-7, Rule 17e-1 or Rule 10f-3.

-3-

The Sub-Advisor acknowledges that the Advisor and Trust intend to rely on Rule 17a-7, Rule 17a-10, Rule 10f-3, Rule 12d3-1 and Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act, and the Sub-Advisor hereby agrees that it shall not consult with any other Sub-Advisor to the Trust with respect to transactions in securities for the Sub-Advisor Assets or any other transactions of Trust assets.

The Sub-Advisor is authorized to engage in transactions in which the Sub-Advisor, or an affiliate of the Sub-Advisor, acts as a broker for both the Fund and for another party on the other side of the transaction (“agency cross transactions”). The Sub-Advisor shall effect any such agency cross transactions in compliance with Rule 206(3)-2 under the Advisers Act and any other applicable provisions of federal securities laws and shall provide the Advisor with periodic reports describing such agency cross transactions that the Sub-Advisor’s compliance with Rule 206(3)-2 and any other applicable provisions of federal securities laws. By execution of this agreement, the Advisor authorizes the Sub-Advisor or its affiliates to engage in agency cross transactions, as described above. The Advisor may revoke its consent at any time by written notice to the Sub-Advisor.

In connection with its management of the Sub-Advisor Assets and consistent with its fiduciary obligation to the Sub-Advisor Assets and other clients, the Sub-Advisor, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities or futures contracts to be sold or purchased in order to obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. In such event, allocation of the securities or futures contracts so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Sub-Advisor in the manner the Sub-Advisor considers to be, over time, the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Sub-Advisor’s Assets and to such other clients.

(f) Securities Transactions. In no instance, however, will any Fund’s portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor, the Trust’s principal underwriter, or any affiliated person of either the Trust, the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Trust’s principal underwriter, acting as principal in the transaction, except to the extent permitted by the SEC and the 1940 Act including section 17a-7 thereof.

The Sub-Advisor, including its Access Persons (as defined in subsection (e) of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act), agrees to observe and comply with Rule 17j-1 and its Code of Ethics (which shall comply in all material respects with Rule 17j-1), as the same may be amended from time to time. On at least an annual basis, the Sub-Advisor will comply with the reporting requirements of Rule 17j-1, which may include either (i) certifying to the Advisor that the Sub-Advisor and its Access Persons have complied with the Sub-Advisor’s Code of Ethics with respect to the Sub-Advisor Assets, or (ii) identifying any violations which have occurred with respect to the Sub-Advisor Assets and (iii) certifying that it has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating the Sub-Advisor’s Code of Ethics. The Sub-Advisor will also submit its Code of Ethics for its initial approval by the Board of Trustees and subsequently within six months of any material change of thereto.

(g) Books and Records. The Sub-Advisor shall maintain separate detailed records of all matters pertaining to the Sub-Advisor Assets, including, without limitation, brokerage and other records of all securities transactions. Any records required to be maintained and preserved pursuant to the provisions of Rule 31a-1 and Rule 31a-2 promulgated under the 1940 Act which are prepared or maintained by the Sub-Advisor on behalf of the Trust are the property of the Trust and will be surrendered promptly to the Trust on request. The Sub-Advisor further agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed in Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act the records required to be maintained under Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act.

-4-

(h) Information Concerning Sub-Advisor Assets and the Sub-Advisor. From time to time as the Advisor, and any consultants designated by the Advisor, or the Trust may request, the Sub-Advisor will furnish the requesting party reports on portfolio transactions and reports on Sub-Advisor Assets held in the portfolio, all in such detail as the Advisor, its consultant(s) or the Trust may reasonably request. The Sub-Advisor also will inform the Advisor in a timely manner of material changes in portfolio managers responsible for Sub-Advisor Assets, any changes in the ownership or management of the Sub-Advisor, or of material changes in the control of the Sub-Advisor. Upon reasonable request, the Sub-Advisor will make available its officers and employees to meet with the Trust’s Board of Trustees to review the Sub-Advisor Assets.

Upon reasonable request from the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor (through a qualified person) will reasonably assist the valuation committee of the Trust or the Advisor in valuing securities of the Trust as may be required from time to time, including making available information of which the Sub-Advisor has knowledge related to the securities being valued; however, Advisor and Trust acknowledge, that the Advisor or their pricing agents shall assume all responsibility for valuation decisions.

The Sub-Advisor also will provide such information or perform such additional acts as are customarily performed by a Sub-Advisor and may be required for a Fund or the Advisor to comply with their respective obligations under applicable federal securities laws, including, without limitation, the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and any rule or regulation thereunder.

(i) Custody Arrangements. The Sub-Advisor shall on each business day provide the Advisor, its consultant(s) and the Trust’s custodian such information as the Advisor and the Trust’s custodian may reasonably request relating to all transactions concerning the Sub-Advisor Assets.

(j) Historical Performance Information. To the extent agreed upon by the parties, the Sub-Advisor will provide the Trust with historical performance information on similarly managed investment companies or for other accounts to be included in the Prospectus or for any other uses permitted by applicable law.

3. Independent Contractor. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Sub-Advisor is and shall be an independent contractor and unless otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise authorized in writing, shall have no authority to act for or represent a Fund, the Trust or the Advisor in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of a Fund, the Trust or the Advisor.

-5-

4. Services to Other Clients. Nothing herein contained shall limit the freedom of Sub-Advisor or any affiliated person of Sub-Advisor to render investment advisory, supervisory and other services to other investment companies, to act as investment adviser or investment counselor to other persons, firms or corporations or to engage in other business activities. It is understood that Sub-Advisor may give advice and take action for its other clients which may differ from advice given, or the timing or nature of action taken, for a Fund. Sub-Advisor is not obligated to initiate transactions for a Fund in any security which Sub-Advisor, its principals, affiliates or employees may purchase or sell for its or their own accounts or other clients.

5. Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, Sub-Advisor will pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement other than the costs of securities, commodities and other investments (including brokerage commissions and other transaction charges, if any) purchased or otherwise acquired, or sold or otherwise disposed of for a Fund. The Sub-Advisor shall, at its sole expense, employ or associate itself with such persons as it believes to be particularly fitted to assist it in the execution of its duties under this Agreement. The Trust or the Advisor, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Sub-Advisor for any expenses as may be reasonably incurred by the Sub-Advisor, at the request of and on behalf of a Fund or the Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall keep and supply to the Trust and the Advisor reasonable records of all such expenses.

6. Compensation. For the services provided and the expenses assumed with respect to a Fund pursuant to this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor will be entitled to the fee listed for the Fund(s) on Exhibit A.

If this Agreement is terminated prior to the end of any calendar month, the fee shall be prorated for the portion of any month in which this Agreement is in effect according to the proportion which the number of calendar days, during which this Agreement is in effect, bears to the number of calendar days in the month, and shall be payable within 10 days after the date of termination.

The foregoing requirement that continuance of this Agreement be “specifically approved at least annually” shall be construed in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(b) Termination.

In the event that there is a proposed change in control of the Sub-Advisor which would act to terminate this Agreement, if a vote of shareholders to approve continuation of this Agreement is at that time deemed by counsel to the Trust to be required by the 1940 Act or any rule or regulation thereunder, Sub-Advisor agrees to assume all reasonable costs associated with soliciting shareholders of the appropriate Fund(s) of the Trust, to approve continuation of this Agreement. Such expenses include the costs of preparation and mailing of a proxy statement, and of soliciting proxies.

In accordance with Section 248.11 of Regulation S-P (17 CFR 248.1-248.30), Sub-Advisor will not directly, or indirectly through an affiliate, disclose any non-public personal information, except as permitted or required by law , as defined in Reg. S-P, received from the Trust or the Advisor, regarding any shareholder, to any person that is not affiliated with the Trust or with Sub-Advisor, and, provided that, any such information disclosed to an affiliate of Sub-Advisor shall be under the same limitations on non-disclosure.

During the term of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to furnish the Sub-Advisor at its principal office all prospectuses, proxy statements, reports to shareholders, sales literature or other material prepared for distribution to shareholders of the Fund or the public, which refer to the Sub-Advisor in any way, prior to use thereof and not to use material without the Sub-Advisor’s prior written approval. Sales literature may be furnished to the Sub-Advisor hereunder by first-class or overnight mail, facsimile transmission equipment or hand delivery.

It is understood that the name “Goldman, Sachs & Co.” or “Goldman Sachs” or any derivative thereof, and any tradename, trademark, trade device, service mark, symbol or logo associated with those names, are the valuable property of the Sub-Advisor or its affiliates and that the Adviser has the right to use to such name (or derivative or logo), in offering materials or promotional or sales-related materials of the Fund, only with the prior written approval of the Sub-Advisor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and for so long as the Sub-Advisor is Sub-Advisor of the Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sub-Advisor’s approval is not required when (i) previously approved materials are re-issued with minor modifications, (ii) the Advisor and Sub-Advisor identify materials which they jointly determine do not require the Sub-Advisor’s approval and (iii) used as required to be disclosed in the registration statement of the Fund. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Fund and the Advisor shall forthwith cease to use such name (or derivative or logo), although the Advisor may continue to use such name (or derivative or logo) as permitted by other then current Sub-Advisory agreements which the Advisor and Sub-Advisor have executed.
