SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT made as of the 23rd day of December, 2002, by and between AssetMark
Investment Services, Inc., a California corporation (the "Advisor"), and
Oppenheimer Capital Inc. (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 May 11, 2001 (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 desires to retain 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 will assign to the
Sub-Advisor (the "Sub-Advisor Assets"), and the Sub-Advisor is willing to render
such services subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of mutual covenants recited below, the
parties agree and promise as follows:
1. Appointment as Sub-Advisor. The Advisor hereby retains 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
employment. 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 on a continuous basis the performance of
the Sub-Advisor Assets. In providing these services, the Sub-Advisor will
conduct a continual 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, the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and all other applicable federal and
state laws and regulations. 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 (30 days)
advance notice, in writing, of any change in a Fund's investment
objectives, policies and restrictions as stated in the Prospectus, 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 will at all
times be in compliance with all disclosure requirements under all
applicable federal and state laws and regulations relating to the Trust or
a Fund with respect to the Sub-Advisor Assets, and as to the accuracy of
material information furnished in writing by the Sub-Advisor to the Trust,
to the Fund or to the Advisor specifically for inclusion in the Prospectus.
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.
The Advisor shall provide the Sub-Advisor with complete copies of each
Registration Statement, Application for Exemptive Relief, No Action Relief
or any Order or Response thereafter made with the Securities and Exchange
Commission or the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the Trust,
Sub-Advisor Assets, or any Fund which has Sub-Advisor Assets, promptly
after each filing is made.
(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. 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.
(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 and state rules and regulations and the Trust's
governing documents. The Sub-Advisor agrees to provide the Advisor and the
Trust with copies of any such agreements intended to be executed on behalf
of the Advisor or the Trust, prior to the execution thereof.
(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,
or the Trust's principal underwriter) to take into account the sale of
shares of the Trust 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.
(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.
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.
(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.
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 laws, including, without limitation, the Code,
the 1940 Act, the Advisers Act, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") and any federal or state securities laws, 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.
4. 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.
5. 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. Such fees will be computed daily
and payable in arrears no later than the seventh (7th) business day following
the end of each month, from the Trust on behalf of the Fund(s), calculated at an
annual rate based on the Sub-Advisor Assets' average daily net assets.
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.

10. Duration and Termination.
(a) Duration. This Agreement, unless sooner terminated as provided
herein, shall for the Fund(s) listed on Exhibit A attached hereto remain in
effect from the date of execution or, if later, the date the initial
capital to a series of the Trust is first provided (the "Effective Date."),
until two years from the Effective Date, and thereafter, for periods of one
year so long as such continuance thereafter is specifically approved at
least annually (a) by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the Trust
who are not interested persons of any party to this Agreement, cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and
(b) by the Trustees of the Trust, or by the vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of each Fund (except as such vote may be
unnecessary pursuant to relief granted by an exemptive order from the SEC).
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. This Agreement may be terminated as to any Fund at
any time, without the payment of any penalty by: (1) the vote of a majority
of the Trustees of the Trust or by the Advisor, in each case, on not less
than 30 days nor more than 60 days written notice to the Sub-Advisor, or
(2) by any party hereto immediately upon written notice to the other
parties in the event of a breach of any provision to this Agreement by any
of the parties, or (3) by the Sub-Advisor at any time without the payment
of any penalty, on not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days written
notice to the Advisor and the Trust.
This Agreement shall not be assigned and shall terminate automatically
in the event of its assignment, except as provided otherwise by any rule,
Exemptive Relief, or No Action Letter provided or pursuant to the 1940 Act,
or upon the termination of the Advisory Agreement. 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.
This Agreement shall extend to and bind the heirs, executors,
administrators and successors of the parties hereto.
11. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by mutual consent of the
parties, provided that the terms of any material amendment shall be approved by:
(a) the Trust's Board of Trustees and (b) the vote of a majority of those
Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons of any party to this
Agreement cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval, if such approval is required by applicable law, and unless otherwise
permitted pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC or No Action position
granted by the SEC or its staff, by a vote of the majority of a Fund's
outstanding securities.
12. Confidentiality. Subject to the duties of the Advisor, the Trust (and
each Fund), and the Sub-Advisor to comply with applicable law, including any
demand of any regulatory or taxing authority having jurisdiction, the parties
hereto shall treat as confidential all information pertaining to a Fund and the
actions of the Sub-Advisor, the Advisor, the Trust, and a Fund in respect
thereof. 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.
13. Notice. Any notice, advice or report to be given pursuant to this
Agreement shall be deemed sufficient if delivered or mailed by registered,

1940 Act. Where the effect of a requirement of the 1940 Act reflected in any
provision of this Agreement is altered by a rule, regulation or order of the
SEC, whether of special or general application, such provision shall be deemed
to incorporate the effect of such rule, regulation or order.
15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and
understanding between the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings relating to this Agreement's subject matter. This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to
be an original, but such counterparts shall, together, constitute only one
instrument.

invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this
Agreement shall not be affected thereby.
