INTENDED USES FOR ENDOWMENT FUNDS SCHEDULE D, PAGE 2, PART V, LINE 4 THE COLLEGE'S ENDOWMENT INVESTMENT AND SPENDING POLICIES WORK TOGETHER IN AN ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE A PREDICTABLE STREAM OF FUNDING TO PROGRAMS SUPPORTED BY ITS ENDOWMENT WHILE SEEKING TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF ITS ENDOWMENT ASSETS OVER THE LONG TERM THROUGH ADDITIONAL REAL GROWTH FROM INVESTMENT RETURNS. THE INVESTMENT POLICY SEEKS TO ACHIEVE A LONG-TERM RETURN OBJECTIVE OF AT LEAST 6% ABOVE INFLATION OVER A ROLLING 3-5 YEAR PERIOD, RELYING ON A TOTAL RETURN STRATEGY IN WHICH INVESTMENT RETURNS ARE ACHIEVED THROUGH BOTH CAPITAL APPRECIATION (REALIZED AND UNREALIZED) AND CURRENT YIELD (INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS). THE SPENDING POLICY FOR THE CURRENT YEAR CALCULATES THE DISBURSEMENT FROM THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS BASED ON 8% OF THE AVERAGE FAIR VALUE OF THE PRIOR 12 QUARTERS FOR THE UNRESTRICTED FUNDS AND 5% FOR THE RESTRICTED FUNDS. THE INCREASED DRAW OF 3% FOR THE UNRESTRICTED FUNDS WAS USED FOR PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION COSTS. THE SPENDING POLICY ALLOWS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF PRINCIPAL AS WELL AS CAPITAL APPRECIATION.
