| Explanation | Investment and Spending Policy. The Organization has adopted investment policies, approved by the Board of Directors and Investment Committee, for endowment assets. The organization will invest only in low-risk, conservative investment vehicles in order to maintain the purchasing power of current assets and future contributions in relation to cost increases and inflation and maximize return within reasonable and prudent levels of risk. Investment assets are invested in a well-diversified asset mix, which includes equity and debt securities that are managed by the Organization's Investment Committee to prevent exposing the fund to unacceptable levels of risk. With regards to returns on endowments, the Organization has adopted a spending policy which will apply to all endowed funds unless a particular donor has otherwise stipulated spending restrictions. The organization will not spend returns from the endowment if it falls below the original endowment amount. Management, with approval from the Investment Committee, has discretion over how and whether or not surplus returns are used. | ExplanationTxt |
