SCHEDULE D, PAGE 2, PART IV, LINE 1B THE COLLEGE HOLDS FUNDS FOR A VARIETY OF ACADEMIC, INSTITUTIONAL, AND STUDENT GROUPS AND ACCOUNTS FOR ADDITIONS TO AND DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THESE FUNDS SEPARATELY.
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 DISBURSEMENTS FROM THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS BASED ON 7.3% OF THE AVERAGE FAIR VALUE OF THE PRIOR 12 QUARTERS. THE INCREASED DRAW ABOVE 5% WAS USED TO OFFSET EXPENDITURES AS APPROPRIATE WITHIN THE OPERATING BUDGET, WITH THE FUNDS THUS DISPLACED USED TO CREATE THE STRATEGIC INVESTMENT FUND. THE SPENDING RATE FOR RESTRICTED FUNDS THAT DID NOT DISPLACE OTHER FUNDS WITHIN THE OPERATING BUDGET REMAINED AT 5%. THE SPENDING POLICY ALLOWS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF PRINCIPAL AS WELL AS CAPITAL APPRECIATION.
SCHEDULE D, PAGE 3, PART X THE COLLEGE'S POLICY IS TO EVALUATE ALL TAX POSITIONS AND TO CONSULT WITH EXPERTS TO IDENTIFY THOSE THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED UNCERTAIN. ALL IDENTIFIED MATERIAL TAX POSITIONS WILL BE ASSESSED AND MEASURED BY A REASONABLY POSSIBLE THRESHOLD TO DETERMINE IF THE BENEFIT OF AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. ANY CHANGE IN THE AMOUNT OF A TAX POSITION WILL BE RECOGNIZED IN THE PERIOD THE CHANGE OCCURS. THE COLLEGE IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, EXCEPT ON INCOME DERIVED FROM THE UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME ACTIVITIES.
