INVESTMENT COMMITTEE INTIATIVES 17

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 18

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 19

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 20

Participants in Process Endowment & Foundation Board member participants in this process:  Britt Preyer  Edward Alexander  Steve Warwick  Hank Miller  Jason Wheeler  Chad Paul  David Hartness  Charles Mattox  Robert Keith UNCW Staff participants in this process:  Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs  Associate Vice Chancellor for Finance  Director of Endowment Accounting 21
