(the "Corporation") is distributing this Information Statement in connection with the change in sub-adviser of the M Large Cap Value Fund. The Board approved a new sub-advisory agreement with Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC ("Brandywine"), to replace AJO LP ("AJO") as the sub-adviser of the M Large Cap Value Fund. The Corporation has been granted an exemptive order by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that allows M Financial Investment Advisers, Inc. ("MFIA" or the "Adviser"), subject to certain conditions, to enter into a new sub-advisory agreement with an unaffiliated entity without obtaining shareholder approval. This Information Statement also provides information on the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund between MFIA and the Corporation, which reflects a decrease in the advisory fee for the Fund resulting from the change in sub-adviser. The Directors are distributing this Information Statement on or about July 13, 2020 to the shareholders of record as of June 22, 2020.

The M Large Cap Value Fund is providing this Information Statement solely for your information as required by an exemptive order issued by the SEC. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

INFORMATION ON THE CHANGE IN SUB-ADVISER OF THE M LARGE CAP VALUE FUND

Overview and Related Information

On March 13, 2020, the Board approved an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement for the M Large Cap Value Fund dated May 1, 2020 (the "Amendment") and a new sub-advisory agreement for the M Large Cap Value Fund dated May 1, 2020 (the "New Sub-Advisory Agreement"), between MFIA and Brandywine.

AJO previously served as the sub-adviser of the M Large Cap Value Fund (the "Fund"). MFIA and the Board believed it was in the best interests of the shareholders to seek a replacement investment manager for the Fund due to the poor performance of the Fund and AJO. After a lengthy search of replacement sub-advisers, MFIA recommended the appointment of Brandywine to assume responsibility for the day-to-day management of Fund. Upon the recommendation of MFIA and after carefully considering a variety of factors (as described below under "Basis for the Board's Approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement"), the Board voted on March 13, 2020 to terminate the sub-advisory agreement between MFIA and AJO and to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), a mutual fund generally cannot enter into an advisory contract, such as a sub-Advisory agreement, unless the shareholders of that fund vote to approve the new agreement. The Corporation and MFIA have been granted an exemptive order from the SEC that allows MFIA, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with unaffiliated sub-advisers without obtaining shareholder approval. The New Sub-Advisory Agreement became effective May 1, 2020. Under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the sub-advisory fee decreased. As a result of the decrease in the fee payable to the sub-adviser, MFIA recommended and the Board approved, an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund to decrease the advisory fee payable by the Fund.

Description of MFIA

MFIA is the investment adviser of the Fund. MFIA also advises M International Equity Fund, M Large Cap Growth Fund and M Capital Appreciation Fund (together with the Fund, the "Funds"), each a series of the

Corporation. As of December 31, 2019, MFIA had approximately $687.9 million in assets under management, all of which were assets of the Corporation. MFIA is controlled by M Financial Holdings Incorporated (dba M Financial Group), which owns 100% of the voting securities of MFIA. MFIA was organized on September 11, 1995. Although MFIA is not primarily responsible for the daily management of the Funds, it oversees the management of the assets of the Funds by each of the sub-advisers. In turn, each sub-adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of a specific Fund.

M Financial Group is engaged in providing product development and marketing support services for participating insurance agents, who, collectively, own a majority of the outstanding stock of M Financial Group. As stockholders, such participating insurance agents share in the profits of M Financial Group via periodic stock or cash dividends. M Financial Group derives revenue from, among other things, investment advisory fees with respect to assets invested in the Corporation. Shareholders should be aware that these compensation arrangements may create economic incentives that could influence recommendations for the Funds.

Description of the Current Investment Advisory Agreement

MFIA has acted as adviser for the Fund since its inception, and currently acts as the Fund's adviser pursuant to an investment advisory agreement dated September 1, 2001 as amended (the "Advisory Agreement"). The Board approved the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on August 24, 2001 and last approved the continuance of the Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on March 13, 2020.

Under the Advisory Agreement, MFIA assumes overall responsibility, subject to the ongoing supervision of the Board, for administering all operations of the Corporation and for monitoring and evaluating the management of the assets of the Fund by the sub-advisers. MFIA provides or arranges for the provision of the overall business management and administrative services necessary for the Corporation's operations and furnishes or procures any other services and information necessary for the proper conduct of the Corporation's business. MFIA also acts as liaison among, and supervisor of, the various service providers to the Corporation, including the custodian, transfer agent, administrator, and accounting services agent. MFIA is also responsible for: (1) setting the Fund's overall investment strategies, (2) where appropriate, recommending to the Board the allocation and reallocation of assets among multiple sub-advisers, and (3) overseeing the Corporation's compliance with applicable law and with the Fund's investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The sub-advisers provide the day-to-day portfolio management for the Corporation's portfolios.

The Advisory Agreement provides that MFIA may render similar services to others (although there is no current intent for MFIA to do so), so long as the services that it provides to the Corporation are not impaired thereby. The Advisory Agreement also provides that MFIA will not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the management of the Corporation, except for (i) willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard of its duties or obligations under the Advisory Agreement, and (ii) to the extent specified in Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation.

Under the Advisory Agreement, MFIA received a fee of 0.45% on the average daily net assets of the Fund. MFIA retained 0.15% of the fee and the remaining amount was paid to the sub-adviser, AJO.

Description of the Amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement

The terms of the Advisory Agreement following the Amendment, which replaced the previous sub-adviser to the Fund from AJO to Brandywine, are substantially similar to those of the Advisory Agreement, except that: (i) the advisory fee for the Fund decreased due to the change in sub-adviser; and (ii) the date of the Amendment is different. The Advisory Agreement and the Amendment are set forth in Appendix A to this Information Statement. Descriptions of the Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment as set forth in Appendix A.

The Amendment provides that the Fund shall compensate MFIA at the annual rate of 0.43% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. MFIA retains the first 0.15% of the fee and pays the remainder to the sub-adviser, Brandywine.

Comparison of Fee Rates under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Amendment

The fee rates payable to MFIA under the Advisory Agreement are more than the fee rates payable to MFIA under the Amendment. The table below sets forth the advisory fee rates payable to MFIA under the Advisory Agreement and the Amendment as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

*  AJO had voluntarily waived a portion of its sub-advisory fee for the Fund. Consequently, the Adviser waived a portion of the fee payable by the Fund resulting in an advisory fee payable by the Fund of 0.4275%. This voluntary fee waiver arrangement could be discontinued at any time.

Fees Paid Under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Amendment

For the period January 1, 2020 through April 30, 2020, the Fund paid aggregate advisory fees for the M Large Cap Value Fund of $121,378, $42,589 of such amount was payable to MFIA and the remainder ($78,789) was payable to the sub-adviser, AJO. The totals payable to the Fund and to the sub-adviser were net of $6,388 voluntarily waived by AJO. If the Amendment and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement had been in place for the period January 1, 2020 through April 30, 2020, the Fund would have paid aggregate advisory fees of $122,088 with $42,589 of such amount payable to MFIA and the remainder ($79,499) payable to the sub-adviser, Brandywine. The difference between the amounts payable under the current agreement, excluding the voluntary fee waiver by AJO, and the amounts that would have been payable if the Amendment and the new sub-advisory agreement had been in place was 0% for MFIA and 6.7% for the sub-adviser.

MFIA does not manage any other funds with a similar investment objective and strategy as the M Large Cap Value Fund.

MFIA does not serve as investment adviser to any funds with a similar investment objective and strategy as the M Large Cap Value Fund.

Basis for the Board's Approval of the Amendment

The Board approved the Amendment at their meeting held on March 13, 2020. The Board considered information provided by MFIA. In considering whether to approve the Amendment, the Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Matters considered by the Board, including the Independent Directors, in connection with their approval of the Amendment included the following:

Capability; Nature and Quality of Services

The Board considered MFIA's experience as an investment manager. MFIA has been registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act") since 1995. As of December 31, 2019, the Adviser had approximately $687.9 million in assets under management, all of which were assets of the Corporation. MFIA delegates the day-to-day investment of the Fund to its sub-advisers. MFIA monitors the general business activity of the sub-adviser through a variety of quarterly and annual questionnaires and on-site compliance meetings and reports significant changes and developments to the Board at least quarterly. The Board noted that a complete description of the services provided by MFIA and the experience of its officers was contained in its Form ADV, which was included in the Board Materials. The Board further noted that MFIA's organizational chart is also included in the Board Materials. The Board concluded that MFIA has the operational experience, capability, resources and personnel necessary to continue to manage the Fund.

Compliance History

The Board considered the regulatory compliance history of MFIA and the recent change in CCO. MFIA and the Corporation relied on written policies and procedures, which are designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws. MFIA had no material violations of its policies and procedures or its Code of Ethics during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Board concluded that MFIA's compliance program was adequate.

Investment Performance

The Board noted that investment performance for the Fund is primarily determined by the investment decisions of the Sub-Adviser. Management monitors the Fund's performance on an on-going basis and the Board reviews performance each quarter. The Board also noted that MFIA has the responsibility to manage the sub-advisory relationship and to make decisions about when to recommend a change in sub-adviser, including Brandywine

replacing AJO as the sub-adviser to the Fund. The Board noted MFIA's active approach to evaluating the sub-advisory relationship including meeting annually with the sub-adviser. The Board concluded that MFIA was appropriately managing the sub-advisory relationship.

Advisory Fees

The Fund pays a management fee to MFIA. MFIA retains 0.15% of the management fee and pays the balance of the management fee to the Sub-Adviser. MFIA, through December 31, 2019, had net income of $469,095 for all Funds. The Board reviewed information comparing the advisory fee of the Fund to the advisory fee charged to similar funds. The Board considered the profitability of MFIA and noted that no "fall-out" or collateral benefits were reported except the differentiation in the marketplace allowed by the relationship because M Member Firms were able to offer the Fund to their clients while the majority of their competitors were not. The Board concluded that the management fees and the portion of the management fees retained by MFIA were fair and reasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered the benefits to investors of economies of scale. The portion of the management fee retained by MFIA does not decrease at breakpoints, but instead remains fixed at 0.15% of the average net daily assets of the Fund. The Board concluded that, at current asset levels, MFIA was likely not benefiting from economies of scale in managing the Fund.

Operating Expenses

The Board considered the operating expenses of the Fund. In addition to MFIA's advisory fee, the Fund is also responsible for sub-advisory fees and payment of a portion of the Corporation's operating expenses. The Board reviewed information comparing the total annual operating expenses of the Fund to the total annual operating expenses of similar funds. MFIA has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for expenses (other than advisory fees and extraordinary expenses) incurred by the Fund to the extent that they exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets. MFIA reimbursed $87,634 in 2019, all of which related to the M International Equity Fund. The Board noted that based on 2020 projected asset levels, which were calculated at the end of 2019, reimbursement of approximately $25,000 was expected for 2020; however, that number would likely be higher due to COVID-19 related asset declines. The Board concluded that the Corporation's operating expenses were fair and reasonable.

Brokerage Transactions

The Board noted that the trading and execution for the Corporation's portfolios are handled by the sub-advisers. The Board further noted that the Corporation's CCO reviews the sub-adviser's written policies and procedures for fair trading and best execution at least annually. The Board considered that each quarter a sub-adviser that engaged in soft dollar transactions presents a soft-dollar report to the Board that contains soft dollar commission information. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the sub-adviser's policies and procedures for broker selection and best execution.

Based on their evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material and necessary to the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, including those factors described above, the Board, including the Independent Directors, determined to approve the Amendment.

The Amendment to the Advisory Agreement for the Fund does not require shareholder approval. We are not asking you for a proxy on this matter.

Description of the Previous Sub-Advisory Agreement

Prior to May 1, 2020, MFIA delegated its responsibility under the Advisory Agreement to provide portfolio management services to the Fund to AJO pursuant to the Previous Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board approved the Previous Sub-Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on March 1, 2013. The Board most recently approved the continuance of the Previous Sub-Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on March 14, 2019. The Previous Sub-Advisory Agreement has not been approved by the shareholders of the Fund as it was entered into pursuant to an exemptive order granted to the Corporation by the SEC that allows the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with unaffiliated entities without obtaining shareholder approval. Under the terms of the Previous Sub-Advisory Agreement, AJO, used its own discretion and without prior consultation with MFIA, managed the investment operations and composition of the Fund. AJO determined the securities to be purchased and sold and placed orders for such transactions. AJO maintained the books and records of the Fund with regard to these portfolio transactions. AJO was also required to report periodically to MFIA and the Board.

The Previous Sub-Advisory Agreement provided for contractual sub-advisory fees payable to AJO of 0.45%* of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the period January 1, 2020 through April 30, 2020, the sub-advisory fees paid to AJO for its services to the Fund under the Previous Sub-Advisory Agreement were $78,789, net of $6,388 voluntarily waived by AJO.

*  AJO had voluntarily waived a portion of its sub-advisory fee for the Fund. Consequently, the Adviser waived a portion of the fee payable by the Fund resulting in an advisory fee payable by the Fund of 0.4275%. This voluntary fee waiver arrangement could be discontinued at any time.

Description of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement

The terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement are substantially similar to those of the Previous Sub-Advisory Agreement, except that (a) all references to AJO in the Previous Sub-Advisory Agreement have been changed to Brandywine in the New Sub-Advisory Agreement; (b) the sub-advisory fee for the Fund will decrease as a result of the change in sub-adviser; (c) the initial term of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is two years rather than one-year in the Previous Sub-Advisory Agreement and (d) the date of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is different. The form of New Sub-Advisory Agreement is set forth in Appendix B to this Information Statement. Descriptions of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement are qualified in their

entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement as set forth in Appendix B.

The New Sub-Advisory Agreement, which was entered into and which took effect on May 1, 2020, requires Brandywine to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund, subject to the supervision of MFIA. Under the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, Brandywine is authorized to effect portfolio transactions for the Fund, using its own discretion and without prior consultation with MFIA. Brandywine is required to report periodically to MFIA and the Board.

The New Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that it will continue in effect for two years from the date of execution and thereafter from year to year provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or by the Board and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Independent Directors of the Corporation, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Any amendment to the New Sub-Advisory Agreement must be approved by MFIA and Brandywine and, if required by law, by a majority of the Independent Directors of the Corporation. The New Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated at any time without penalty (i) by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund; (ii) on not more than 60 days' or less than 30 days' written notice by MFIA; or (iii) upon 90 days' written notice by Brandywine. The New Sub-Advisory Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its "assignment," as defined in the 1940 Act or in the event of the termination of the Advisory Agreement.

The New Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that Brandywine shall not be subject to any liability in connection with the performance of its services thereunder in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of its obligations and duties.

Comparison of Fee Rates Under the Previous and New Sub-Advisory Agreements

The sub-advisory fee rates payable to AJO under the Previous Sub-Advisory Agreement were more than the sub-advisory fee rates payable to Brandywine under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. The table below sets forth the sub-advisory fee rates paid to AJO under the Previous Sub-Advisory Agreement and the sub-advisory fee rates payable to Brandywine under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

*  AJO had voluntarily waived a portion of its sub-advisory fee for the Fund resulting in a sub-advisory fee payable by the Fund of 0.2775%. This voluntary fee waiver arrangement could be discontinued at any time.

Fees Paid Under the Previous and New Sub-Advisory Agreements

Because the fee rates payable under the Previous Sub-Advisory Agreement were more than the fee rates payable under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the aggregate sub-advisory fees paid by the Fund will decrease as a result of the change in sub-advisers. For the period January 1, 2020 through April 30, 2020, the Fund paid aggregate advisory fees for the M Large Cap Value Fund of $121,378, $42,589 of such amount was payable to MFIA and the remainder ($78,789) was payable to the sub-adviser, AJO. The totals payable to the Fund and to the sub-adviser were net of $6,388 voluntarily waived by AJO. If the Amendment and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement had been in place for the period January 1, 2020 through April 30, 2020, the Fund would have paid aggregate advisory fees of $122,088 with $42,589 of such amount payable to MFIA and the remainder ($79,499) payable to the sub-adviser, Brandywine. The difference between the amounts payable under the current agreement, excluding the voluntary fee waiver by AJO, and the amounts that would have been payable if the Amendment and the new sub-advisory agreement had been in place was 0% for MFIA and 6.7% for the sub-adviser.

Brandywine also serves as investment adviser or sub-adviser to the following funds with a similar investment objective and strategy as the Fund:

Basis for the Board's Approval of New Sub-Advisory Agreement

The Board approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement at their meeting held on March 13, 2020 with an effective date of May 1, 2020. The Board considered the New Sub-Advisory Agreement in connection with a change in the sub-adviser for the Fund from AJO to Brandywine. In considering whether to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board noted that MFIA was recommending the change of sub-adviser and the approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement as in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. They also considered information provided by MFIA and by

Brandywine. In considering whether to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Directors, did not identify any single factor as determinative. Matters considered by the Board, including the Independent Directors, in connection with their approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement included the following:

Capability; Nature and Quality of Services

The Board considered the capability, nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Brandywine. The Board considered the information about Brandywine's experience as an investment manager. Brandywine was founded in 1986. As of December 31, 2019, Brandywine had approximately $74.02 billion of assets under management. The Board noted that Brandywine uses a qualitative deselection process to eliminate companies based on certain metrics (valuation, price momentum, changes in outstanding shares) followed by a fundamental deselection process (litigation, risk, etc.) that results in a list of remaining stocks that are then weighted based on market cap and controlling overall portfolio risk. The Board concluded that Brandywine has significant operational experience and the capability, resources and personnel necessary to manage the Fund.

The Board also considered that on February 18, 2020, Franklin Resources, Inc. ("Franklin Resources") entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Legg Mason, Inc. ("Legg") in an all-cash transaction (the "Acquisition"). It was noted that Brandywine is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legg, and therefore, the Acquisition would constitute a change in control and an assignment of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Brandywine that the Board is being asked to approve at this Meeting, which would result in a termination of such Agreement. It was stated that Brandywine had confirmed to MFIA that it will retain an autonomous arrangement with Franklin Resources, ensuring that the investment philosophies, processes and brand of Brandywine will remain unchanged. It was explained that, as a result of the Acquisition, the Board was being asked to approve both a Sub-Advisory Agreement with Brandywine to be effective as of May 1, 2020 and second Sub-Advisory Agreement with Brandywine to be effective upon the Acquisition and the termination of the first Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Compliance History

The Board considered the regulatory compliance history of Brandywine. The Board considered that Brandywine maintains written policies and procedures that are designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws. The Board further considered that Brandywine certified that it has had

no material violations of its policies and procedures or its Code of Ethics for the two-year period ended December 31, 2019 and there are no pending inquiries by the SEC or any other regulatory agency. Based upon information provided, including a presentation from the CCO, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the adequacy of Brandywine's compliance program and the Board would consider it further later in the Meeting.

Investment Performance

The Board considered information about the investment performance of Brandywine's strategy. The Board noted that as of December 31, 2019, Brandywine's Diversified Large Value Equity Strategy exceeded its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, for the one-, three-, five-, 10-year and since inception time periods. The Board noted that, relying on Brandywine's investment performance managing its equity strategy, Brandywine's previous investment performance has been satisfactory.

Advisory Fees

The Board considered the sub-advisory fees that would be payable to Brandywine and the total advisory fee payable by the Fund. The Board reviewed the level of the proposed advisory fees for the Fund to those of other funds with similar strategies. The Board considered that the Fund's total advisory fee was 0.43%, which includes 0.15% payable to MFIA as an Advisory fee plus 0.28% payable to Brandywine as a sub-advisory fee. The Board further noted that the Fund's total advisory fee is less than 119 of the 137 managers in the peer group. The Board considered that MFIA is unaware of any "fall-out" or collateral benefits to Brandywine, MFIA or the Corporation that could result from the new sub-advisory relationship. The Board noted that Brandywine will not engage in soft dollar transactions on behalf of the Fund. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fees payable to Brandywine were fair and reasonable and supports the approval of the Brandywine Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered the benefit to investors of economies of scale. The Board considered that as Fund assets increase, fixed operating costs are spread over a larger asset base, resulting in a lower per share allocation. The Board concluded that, given the size of the Fund, economies of scale were not a significant factor in connection with the approval of the Brandywine Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Brokerage Transactions

The Board considered the proposed brokerage arrangements by Brandywine on behalf of the Fund. The Board noted that the Corporation's CCO has reviewed Brandywine's written policies and procedures for fair trading and best execution. The Board further noted that Brandywine selects brokers based on a number of stated criteria and that all brokerage firms ("Brokers") used by Brandywine must be approved in accordance with their policies and procedures. The Board considered that Brokers are reviewed by and approved by Brandywine at least annually by its investment committee. The Board noted that Brandywine does not engage in soft dollar transactions on behalf of the Fund. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with Brandywine's policies and procedures for broker selection and execution.

Based on its evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material and necessary to the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, including those factors described above, the Board, including the Independent Directors, determined to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement with Brandywine.

The New Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund does not require shareholder approval. We are not asking you for a proxy on this matter.

OTHER INFORMATION

Information about the Corporation

The Corporation is an open-end management investment company established as a Maryland corporation on August 11, 1995. The Corporation consists of four separate investment portfolios, each of which is a separate mutual fund. Each Fund is a diversified open-end management investment company. The Corporation issues a separate class of stock for each Fund representing fractional undivided interests in that Fund. By investing in a Fund, an investor becomes entitled to a pro rata share of all dividends and distributions arising from the net income and capital gains on the investments of that Fund. Likewise, an investor shares pro rata in any losses of that Fund.

Investment Adviser. MFIA is the investment adviser of the Corporation and its Funds. Bridget McNamara-Fenesy serves as President of the Adviser and President of the Corporation and David Lees, Secretary and Treasurer of the Corporation, serves as Secretary and Treasurer of the Adviser.

The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of M Financial Holdings Incorporated, which does business under the name M Financial Group. M Financial Group is engaged in providing product development and marketing support services for participating insurance agents, who, collectively, own a majority of the outstanding stock of M Financial Group. As shareholders, they share in the profits of M Financial Group via periodic stock or cash dividends. M Financial Group derives revenue from, among other things, investment advisory fees with respect to assets invested in the Corporation and receives from insurance carriers compensation based, in part, upon the volume of insurance premiums generated by its participating agents. Clients should be aware that these direct and indirect compensation arrangements may create economic incentives, which could influence recommendations for particular financial products or services (including the Funds). These incentives include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) commissions or other compensation in respect of one particular financial service provider, product, investment, or service may exceed commissions or compensation payable in respect of a comparable provider, product or service; (ii) certain policy features or riders involving commissions or compensation that differ from compensation payable in respect of "base" or standard contractual features; and (iii) products or services that provide revenue, including override commissions or potential reinsurance profits, to M Financial Group could indirectly provide incentives to agents to recommend such products over similar products or services that do not provide revenue to M Financial Group.

The Adviser was organized on September 11, 1995. Although the Adviser is not primarily responsible for the daily management of the Funds, the Adviser oversees the management of the assets of the Funds by each of the Sub-Advisers. In turn, each Sub-Adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of a specific Fund.

Principal Underwriter. M Holdings Securities, Inc. acts as the distributor (the "Distributor") for each of the Funds. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of M Financial Group.

For The
M LARGE CAP VALUE FUND

THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into this 1st day of May, 2020, by and between M Financial Investment Advisers, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Colorado (the "Adviser"), and Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC, a limited liability company and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Sub-Adviser").

WHEREAS, M Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Fund"), is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and is a series fund with a number of portfolios; and

WHEREAS, the Adviser is registered as an investment adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act").

WHEREAS, the Adviser has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with the Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser acts as investment adviser to the M Large Cap Value Fund portfolio of the Fund (the "Portfolio"), which is a series of the Fund; and

WHEREAS, the Adviser is authorized under the Advisory Agreement to delegate certain of its investment advisory responsibilities to one or more persons or companies; and

WHEREAS, the Adviser, with the approval of the Board of the Directors of the Fund (the "Board"), desires to retain the Sub-Adviser to provide investment advisory services to the Portfolio, and the Sub-Adviser is willing to render such investment advisory services.

WHEREAS, the Sub-Adviser is registered as an investment adviser pursuant to the Advisers Act.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.  Appointment and Acceptance.

(a)  The Adviser and the Fund hereby appoint and employ the Sub-Adviser as a discretionary portfolio manager, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, of the Portfolio.

(b)  The Sub-Adviser accepts that appointment and agrees to render the services herein set forth, for the compensation herein provided.

2.  Duties of the Sub-Adviser. Subject to supervision by the Adviser and the Board, the Sub-Adviser shall manage the investment operations of the Portfolio and the composition of the Portfolio, including the purchase, retention and disposition of securities and other assets, in accordance with the Portfolio's investment objectives, policies and restrictions as stated in the Portfolio's prospectus and statement of additional information, as currently in effect and as amended or supplemented from time to time (referred to collectively as the "Prospectus"), and subject to the following:

(a)  The Sub-Adviser shall provide: (i) a continuous investment program with respect to the Portfolio and (ii) supervision of the Portfolio's investments and determine from time to time what investments and securities will be purchased, retained or sold by the Portfolio, and what portion of the assets will be invested or held uninvested in cash.

(b)  In the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Sub-Adviser shall act in conformity, as applicable, with the Fund's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (as such terms are defined herein) and the Prospectus and with the instructions and directions of the Adviser and of the Board and will conform to and comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") of 1986, and all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations, as each is amended from time to time.

(c)  The Sub-Adviser shall determine the securities to be purchased or sold by the Portfolio and will place orders with or through such persons, brokers or dealers to carry out the policy with respect to brokerage set forth in the Portfolio's Registration Statement (as defined herein) and Prospectus or as the Board of Directors or the Adviser may direct from time to time, in conformity with federal securities laws. In executing Portfolio transactions and selecting brokers or dealers, the Sub-Adviser will seek to obtain best execution, considering all of the circumstances, and shall maintain records adequate to demonstrate compliance with this requirement. In assessing best execution for any transaction, the Sub-Adviser shall consider all factors that it deems relevant, including, but not limited to, 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 best

execution, and in selecting the broker-dealer to execute a particular transaction, the Sub-Adviser may also consider the brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided to the Portfolio and/or other accounts over which the Sub-Adviser or an affiliate of the Sub-Adviser may exercise investment discretion. The Sub-Adviser is authorized, subject to compliance with said Section 28(e), to pay to a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which 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-Adviser 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-Adviser to the Portfolio. The Sub-Adviser shall certify quarterly to the Fund as to the Sub-Adviser's compliance with Section 28(e).

  Except as permitted by law or an exemptive order or rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and the Fund's policies and procedures adopted thereunder, the Sub-Adviser agrees that it will not execute without the prior written approval of the Adviser any portfolio transactions for the Portfolio with a broker or dealer which is (i) an affiliated person of the Fund, the Adviser or any sub-adviser for any series of the Fund; (ii) a principal underwriter of the Fund's shares; or (iii) an affiliated person of such an affiliated person or principal underwriter. The Adviser agrees that it will provide the Sub-Adviser with a written list of such brokers and dealers prior to execution of this Agreement and will, from time to time, update such list as necessary. The Sub-Adviser agrees that it will provide the Adviser with a written list of brokers and dealers that are affiliates of the Sub-Adviser and will, from time to time, update such list as necessary.

(d)  The Sub-Adviser shall maintain all books and records required to be maintained pursuant to the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to actions by the Sub-Adviser on behalf of the Portfolio and shall render to the Adviser or Board such periodic and special reports as the Adviser or Board may reasonably request.

  The Sub-Adviser shall keep the Portfolio's books and records required to be maintained by the Sub-Adviser under this Agreement and shall timely furnish to the Adviser all information relating to the Sub-Adviser's services under this Agreement needed by the Adviser to keep the other books and records of the Portfolio required by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Sub-Adviser shall also furnish to the Adviser any other information that is required to be filed by the Adviser or the Fund with the SEC or sent to shareholders under the 1940 Act (including the rules adopted thereunder) or any exemptive or other relief that the Adviser or the Fund obtains from the SEC. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Sub-Adviser agrees that all records that it maintains on behalf of the Portfolio are the property of the Fund and the Sub-Adviser will surrender promptly to the Fund any of such records upon the Fund's request; provided, however, that the Sub-Adviser may retain a copy of such records. In addition, for the duration of this Agreement, the Sub-Adviser shall preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act any such records as are required to be maintained by it pursuant to this Agreement, and shall transfer said records to any successor Sub-Adviser upon the termination of this Agreement (or, if there is no successor Sub-Adviser, to the Adviser).

(e)  The Sub-Adviser shall provide the Portfolio's custodian on each business day with information relating to all transactions concerning the Portfolio's assets and shall provide the Adviser with such information upon request of the Adviser.

(f)  The Sub-Adviser shall cooperate with the Adviser, its representatives, and any third party retained thereby upon the Adviser's exercise of its right, granted hereby, to compel an audit of the Portfolio's financial records, examine records of the Portfolio's portfolio transactions, and/or make a copy of such records.

(g)  In furnishing services hereunder, to the extent prohibited under, or necessary to comply with, the 1940 Act, the Sub-Adviser will not consult with any other sub-adviser to the Fund concerning transactions of the Portfolio in securities or other assets. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing restriction will not be deemed to prohibit the Sub-Adviser from consulting with: (i) any of its affiliated persons concerning transactions in securities or other assets; (ii) any of the other covered sub-advisers concerning compliance with paragraphs (a) and (b) of Rule 12d3-1; and (iii) a successor sub-adviser of the

Portfolio in order to effect an orderly transition of sub-advisory duties so long as such consultations do not concern transactions prohibited by Section 17(a) of the 1940 Act.

(h)  The Sub-Adviser shall promptly notify the Adviser of any material financial condition affecting the Sub-Adviser that is likely to impair the Sub-Adviser's ability to fulfill its commitments under this Agreement

(i)  Unless the Adviser advises the Sub-Adviser in writing that the right to vote proxies has been expressly reserved to the Adviser or otherwise delegated to another party, the Sub-Adviser shall exercise voting rights incident to any securities held in the Portfolio without consultation with the Adviser, provided that the Sub-Adviser will follow any written instructions received from the Adviser with respect to voting as to particular issues. The Sub-Adviser shall further respond to all voluntary corporate action matters incident to the securities held in the Portfolio that require a portfolio management decision including, without limitation, the decision to respond to tender shares in response to a tender offer. The Sub-Adviser shall provide to the Adviser the Portfolio's proxy voting record as may be required to comply with all applicable regulatory disclosure and filing requirements. The Adviser agrees and understands that the Sub-Adviser will not take any action or render advice involving legal action on behalf of the Adviser with respect to securities or other investments held in the Portfolio or the issuers thereof, which become the subject of legal notices or proceedings, including securities class actions and bankruptcies.

(j)  The Sub-Adviser shall timely provide such information and data as may be reasonably requested by the Adviser regarding the Sub-Adviser's management of the Portfolio's assets, including, but not limited to, semiannual written Portfolio manager commentary and analysis, portfolio holdings and positions, and country and industry diversification tables.

(k)  The Sub-Adviser shall provide to the Adviser in a timely manner, such information as is needed by the Fund to properly prepare registration statements, proxy statements, and other documents required by SEC rules and regulations, including but not limited to information required by Items 5, 9, 10(a)(2), 19(a)(1)and 20 of SEC Registration Statement Form N-1A. The Sub-Adviser shall promptly, but in any event within five business days, inform the Adviser of any material

change in such information. The Sub-Adviser will prepare and cause to be filed in a timely manner Form 13F and, if required, Schedule 13G with respect to securities in the Portfolio.

(l)  The Sub-Adviser will assist the Adviser, the Fund's administrator (the "Administrator") and/or the Fund in their determination of fair valuation of all portfolio securities held in the Portfolio and will use its reasonable efforts to arrange for the provision of valuation information for each portfolio security held in the Portfolio for which the Administrator does not obtain prices in the ordinary course of business from an automated pricing service. The Sub-Adviser shall promptly notify the Adviser if, for any reason, the Sub-Adviser believes that the price of any security or other investment in the Portfolio may not accurately reflect the value thereof. The Sub-Adviser will maintain adequate records with respect to securities valuation information provided hereunder, and shall provide such information to the Adviser upon request, with such records being deemed Fund records.

(m)  The Sub-Adviser shall furnish the Adviser with any further documents, materials or information that Adviser may reasonably request to enable it to perform its duties pursuant to this Agreement.

(n)  The Sub-Adviser and its officers may act and continue to act as investment manager for others, and nothing in this Agreement shall in any way be deemed to restrict the right of the Sub-Adviser to perform investment management or other services for any other person or entity, and the performance of such services for others shall not be deemed to violate or give rise to any duty or obligation to Adviser.

(o)  The Sub-Adviser is authorized on behalf of the Fund to execute all agreements, instruments and documents that the Sub-Adviser believes are necessary or advisable in performing its duties in the management of the Portfolio and relate to investments authorized hereunder.

3.  Duties of the Adviser. The Adviser shall continue to have responsibility for all services to be provided to the Portfolio pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and shall oversee and review the Sub-Adviser's performance of its duties under this Agreement.

4.  Delivery of Documents. The Adviser has furnished the Sub-Adviser with copies properly certified or authenticated of each of the following documents:
