How is an endowed fund invested at UNH?
The Foundation’s investment policies are intended to preserve and increase the real principal value of its endowment while providing a dependable stream of income for the University. The Foundation does not engage in high-risk or speculative activities. Portfolio management always follows written guidelines agreed to by the managers and the Investment and Finance Committee. The Foundation’s portfolio is diversified so as to keep volatility within acceptable limits for the portfolio as a whole. The strategy of the Foundation Board’s Investment and Finance Committee is a prudent one, designed to ensure that future generations derive as much benefit from the endowment as do current students.
