Order Instituting Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 203(k) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing a Cease-and-Desist Order

The SEC stated: "This matter arises from misstatements made by registered investment adviser AssetMark to certain of its advisory clients, including clients with separately managed accounts invested in a strategy offered by F-Squared Investments, Inc. (“F-Squared”). AssetMark made misstatements by negligently relying on F-Squared’s materially inflated, and hypothetical and back-tested, performance track record that F-Squared misrepresented."
