Message From The President
David P. Marks, CFA
President - MEMBERS Capital Advisors
Chief Investment Officer - CUNA Mutual Group
Dear Investor,
Thank you for your interest in MEMBERS Capital Advisors (MCA). We appreciate you visiting
our website. MCA is fully dedicated to providing best in class investment options to our
clients. These include the Ultra Series Funds (which are available in MEMBERS Variable
products and retirement offerings), MEMBERS Mutual Funds, MEMBERS Managed Account
Program (MAP), and our Institutional Managed Account Program (IMAP). Each offering
provides investment opportunities across a broad range of asset classes as well as different
asset allocations for investors with varying degrees of risk tolerance. Additionally, MCA
manages the general account assets of CUNA Mutual Insurance Society which back our
insurance products such as our fixed and indexed annuities. I encourage you to explore the
product areas to understand the benefits we are delivering to clients who invest with us.
The strength of our investment team, both in number and experience, is the backbone of our
ability to manage through market cycles. The second half of 2007 was a challenging year in
the financial markets and these challenges are not likely to dissipate quickly; as evidenced in
the early months of 2008. Your long-term success as in investor with MCA and MEMBERS
products is our top priority. 2008 will continue to be a challenging year in the economy and the
capital markets and, with an election pending, a volatile one as well. With that in mind we are
conscious of trying to preserve value and limit any potential downside versus our benchmarks.
For our clients, we appreciate the confidence you have placed in us as managers of your
assets. For those who are assessing our capabilities, I invite you to challenge us with your
questions. I am confident we are positioned to deliver the investment expertise and results
you would expect from a growing, high caliber investment management firm.
Sincerely,
David Marks, President
MEMBERS Capital Advisors
