Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE D, PART V; QUESTION 4 THE ORGANIZATION IS THE PARENT ENTITY OF ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK ("NETWORK"); A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY NETWORK. AN INDEPENDENT CPA FIRM AUDITED THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE NETWORK AND ITS CONTROLLED AFFILIATES FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 AND JUNE 30, 2015; RESPECTIVELY AND ISSUED A CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT WITH CONSOLIDATING SCHEDULES BY ENTITY. THE FOLLOWING FOOTNOTE IS INCLUDED IN THE NETWORKS AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT ADDRESSES THE NETWORKS ENDOWMENT FUNDS: THE NETWORKS ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF APPROXIMATELY $35,784,231 INDIVIDUAL DONOR RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND $80,659,624 BOARD-DESIGNATED ENDOWMENT FUNDS FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES PLUS THE FOLLOWING WHERE THE ASSETS HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED FOR ENDOWMENT: SPLIT INTEREST AGREEMENTS, AND OTHER NET ASSETS. THE ENDOWMENT INCLUDES BOTH DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS. THE NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOWMENT FUNDS INCLUDING FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS, ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. RETURN OBJECTIVES AND RISK PARAMETERS THE NETWORK HAS ADOPTED ENDOWMENT INVESTMENT AND SPENDING POLICIES THAT ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE A PREDICTABLE STREAM OF FUNDING TO PROGRAMS SUPPORTED BY ITS ENDOWMENT WHILE SEEKING TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF ENDOWMENT ASSETS. UNDER THIS POLICY, THE RETURN OBJECTIVE FOR THE ENDOWMENT ASSETS, MEASURED OVER A FULL MARKET CYCLE, SHALL BE TO MAXIMIZE THE RETURN AGAINST A BLENDED INDEX, BASED ON THE ENDOWMENTS TARGET ALLOCATION APPLIED TO THE APPROPRIATE INDIVIDUAL BENCHMARKS. THE NETWORK EXPECTS ITS ENDOWMENT FUNDS OVER TIME, TO PROVIDE AN AVERAGE RATE OF RETURN APPROXIMATING THE S&P 500 STOCK INDEX (DOMESTIC PORTION), MSCI EAFE INDEX (INTERNATIONAL PORTION) AND LEHMAN BROTHERS INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT/CORPORATE INDEX (BOND PORTION). ACTUAL RETURNS IN ANY GIVEN YEAR MAY VARY FROM THE INDEX RETURN AMOUNTS. STRATEGIES EMPLOYED FOR ACHIEVING INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES TO ACHIEVE ITS LONG-TERM RATE OF RETURN OBJECTIVES, THE NETWORK RELIES ON A TOTAL RETURN STRATEGY IN WHICH INVESTMENT RETURNS ARE ACHIEVED THROUGH BOTH CAPITAL APPRECIATION (REALIZED AND UNREALIZED GAINS) AND CURRENT YIELD (INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS). THE NETWORK TARGETS A DIVERSIFIED ASSET ALLOCATION THAT PLACES GREATER EMPHASIS ON EQUITY-BASED INVESTMENTS TO ACHIEVE ITS LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES WITHIN PRUDENT RISK CONSTRAINTS. ENDOWMENT SPENDING ALLOCATION AND RELATIONSHIP OF SPENDING POLICY TO INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE NETWORK DETERMINES THE METHOD TO BE USED TO APPROPRIATE ENDOWMENT FUNDS FOR EXPENDITURE. CALCULATIONS ARE PERFORMED FOR INDIVIDUAL ENDOWMENT FUNDS AT A RATE OF 4.5% OF A THREE-YEAR MOVING AVERAGE MARKET VALUE WITH A MINIMUM INCREASE OF 0% AND A MAXIMUM INCREASE OF 10% PER YEAR OVER THE PREVIOUS YEARS SPENDING AMOUNT. THE TOTAL IS REDUCED BY THE INCOME DISTRIBUTED FROM THE ENDOWMENT FUND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PREFERENCES/RESTRICTIONS MADE BY THE DONORS. THE CORRESPONDING CALCULATED SPENDING ALLOCATIONS ARE DISTRIBUTED ANNUALLY BY JUNE 30. IN ESTABLISHING THIS POLICY, THE BOARD CONSIDERED THE EXPECTED LONG TERM RATE OF RETURN ON ITS ENDOWMENT. ACCORDINGLY, OVER THE LONG TERM, THE NETWORK EXPECTS THE CURRENT SPENDING POLICY TO ALLOW ITS ENDOWMENT TO GROW AT AN AVERAGE OF 8% PERCENT ANNUALLY, CONSISTENT WITH ITS INTENTION TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE ENDOWMENT ASSETS AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL REAL GROWTH THROUGH NEW GIFTS.
