Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

 

To the Board of Trustees of

HC Capital Trust:

 

 

We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that The Emerging Markets Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) of HC Capital Trust complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“the Act”) as of November 8, 2013. Management is responsible for the Portfolio’s compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the Portfolio’s compliance based on our examination.

 

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Portfolio’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of November 8, 2013 and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from June 30, 2013 (the date of our last examination), through November 8, 2013:

 

- Confirmation of all securities held by the Depository Trust Company in book entry form, without prior notice to management;

 

- Confirmation of all securities hypothecated, pledged, placed in escrow, or out for transfer with brokers, pledges and/or transfer agents;

 

- Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the Portfolio and State Street Bank (the "Custodian");

 

- Agreement of ten security purchases and ten security sales or maturities since our last report from the books and records of the Portfolio to broker confirmations;

 

- Confirmation of all open forward currency contracts with brokers/banks or alternative procedures where confirmations were not obtained;

 

- Confirmation of all open futures contracts and underlying collateral with brokers/banks or alternative procedures where confirmations were not obtained; and

 

- Confirmation of all investments in mutual funds with the respective transfer agents.

We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Portfolio’s compliance with specified requirements.

 

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Portfolio complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of November 8, 2013 with respect to securities reflected in the investment accounts of the Portfolio is fairly stated, in all material respects.

 

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of HC Capital Trust, and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Re: Management Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain

Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940

 

 

The undersigned are officers of HC Capital Trust (hereinafter referred to as the “Trust”) and employees of HC Capital Solutions, an operating division of Hirtle Callaghan & Co., LLC., which serves as the Trust’s primary investment adviser. SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Subadviser”) provides subadvisory services to The Emerging Markets Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a separate investment portfolio of the Trust. Custody of the securities and similar investments of the Portfolio is maintained by State Street Bank (“Custodian”), an affiliate of the Subadviser.

 

Because of the affiliation between the Custodian and the Subadviser, we understand that we are, as officers of the Trust, responsible for ensuring that the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2, Custody of Investments by Registered Management Investment Companies, of the Investment Company Act of 1940 are satisfied. We further understand that we are responsible for ensuring that effective internal controls relating to the Portfolio’s compliance with such requirements are established and maintained.

 

Accordingly, we have taken such steps as we, in good faith, deem necessary and appropriate to evaluate compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 with respect to the Portfolio.

 

Based on this evaluation, we assert that, with respect to the Portfolio, the Trust was in compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of November 8, 2013 and from June 30, 2013 through November 8, 2013 with respect to the securities and similar investments reflected in the investment account of the Portfolio.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

HC Capital Trust
