Pemberwick was organized in February 2010 as a non-diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that seeks maximum current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. In selecting a portfolio of securities for Pemberwick, the investment advisor of Pemberwick (the “Advisor”) will select investments so that Pemberwick’s assets will be rated “A-” or better by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) such as Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and/or by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services, LLC (“S&P”) (or if commercial paper rated in the highest category) or, if a rating is not available, deemed to be of comparable quality by the Advisor, or securities issued by banking institutions operating in the United States having assets in excess of $200 billion. Approximately 90% or more of Pemberwick’s assets will either be invested in securities rated AA or better (if commercial paper rated in the highest category) by a NRSRO or in securities of banking institutions operating in the United States and having assets in excess of $200 billion. The weighted average duration of Pemberwick’s assets is approximately 1.86 years as of March 30, 2012. Redemptions from Pemberwick are immediately liquid and unrestricted.

The Advisor’s asset management affiliate, Richman Asset Management, Inc.
