INVESTMENT COMMITTEE INTIATIVES
18
Background: Investment Committee Initiatives
• Results of combined efforts of Endowment & Foundation Investment
Committees over past few years:
1. Updated and revised Investment Policy Statement (IPS)
2. Systematic review of asset allocation at portfolio level
3. Refined Investment Performance Report against benchmarks
• Committees recommended UNCW staff’s next project be an assessment of
our current investment management structure relative to spectrum of
services offered in marketplace
19
UNCW Endowment at a Glance
Endowment
•
•
Total investable assets of $76M for University and $3M for Foundation
Currently utilizing “hybrid” approach
 Two outsourced CIO managed funds – UNCMC and TIFF, representing 73% of assets
• UNCW is “little fish in big pond” – receive little attention from managers
• Structure of each managed pool is a “fixed menu” – no customization
 Two direct mutual fund investments with GMO, representing 23% of assets
Endowment Board
•
•
7 Trustees
Quarterly meetings
UNCW Staff
•
VC of Business Affairs, Associate VC Finance & Director of Endowment Accounting
Catalysts For Change in Oversight & Management
Issues Facing Institutional Investors
•
•
Progressively more complex and volatile markets
Increased complexity in strategies and financial instruments
 Increased time and expertise required for proper oversight
•
•
Expectations of a potentially lower return environment
Growing emphasis on risk adjusted performance returns
Issues Facing Smaller & Mid-Size Universities
•
•
•
Limited resources to develop in-house investment capabilities
Lack economies of scale
Building donor confidence
Issues Facing University Investment Committees
•
•
•
Trustee Succession – loss of continuity as trustees roll off committees
Active asset management no longer a desirable role
Focus on governance and policy; reviewing asset allocation and performance
returns against benchmarks
