Our endowment consists of long-term oriented, investment assets that are the result of historical gifts as well as investment gains. It provides perpetual support for our operating budget.

The financial objective of our endowment is to preserve and enhance the real (i.e. inflation adjusted) purchasing power, while providing support for spending needs. The long-term investment objective is to attain a real return (net of inflation and fees) of at least five percent.

A diversified portfolio of investment assets is developed to satisfy our long-term investment objective at an appropriate level of risk and liquidity.
