What is an endowment? The gift that keeps on giving - - in perpetuity 4  Established by a gift from a donor −Normally with the legal stipulation that the original gift may never be spent −Almost always designated /restricted to support a specific program or use  The gift is invested in perpetuity with an annual spending distribution supported by the fund’s investment return  The designated university program or department benefits from the annual spending distribution −Spending distributions from funds designated for a program or department cannot be used for any other purpose

UNC Investment Fund Investment Objective 5  Primary Investment Objective  Preserve the inflation-adjusted purchasing power of endowment funds in perpetuity while providing a predictable and growing stream of spending distributions  To accomplish this objective - - the endowment must earn an annualized total rate of return > ~8% over rolling 10-year (and longer) periods  Managing the return volatility of the endowment helps to stabilize the annual spending distribution - - risk management matters Investment Return > Spending + Inflation 8%+ > 5.5% + 2.5%

Socially Responsible Investing by Universities 6 “In the early 1970’s many university endowments were leaders in the SRI space. However, over the past 40 years, they have fallen well behind the larger SRI community. The current state of university endowments can be characterized as having severely low transparency levels and limited involvement in SRI.” (1) (1) from “Report on Options For Incorporating Sustainability into Investment Practices” issued in September 2014 by the UNC Sustainability Advisory Committee, Sustainability Investment Options Sub-Committee

Evolution of Endowment Investing by Large Universities “Endowment Model” Of Investing 7 Most universities with endowments >$2 bn employ the investment approach referred to as the “Endowment Model” of investing  Pioneered by Yale and other large private universities in the 1980’s  Employs a diversified portfolio utilizing multiple asset classes and investment strategies to enhance long-term returns and manage risk  Significant allocations to “alternative assets” - - venture capital, private equity, hedge funds, etc.  Contrasts to more “traditional” portfolios that have mainly direct holdings of stocks and bonds  Typically implemented utilizing commingled vehicles managed by external investment management firms

UNC Investment Fund Investment Implementation 8  UNCIF has a significant allocation to alternative strategies: ­30% SIPP allocation target to hedge funds and other “uncorrelated” strategies ­33% SIPP allocation target to “private” strategies  UNCIF is highly diversified ­Over 100 external investment management firms manage a portion of UNCIF  > 90% of UNCIF’s assets are invested in “commingled” funds (invested alongside other investors) ­the Fund’s external investment managers generally have full discretion over their respective portfolios  Allocations to “alternative” asset managers limit portfolio transparency ­UNCIF enters into confidentiality agreements ­Transparency from some managers is limited and / or delayed

The Fund has achieved its long-term objective across all periods For the longer-term , 15, and 20 year periods - - a more traditional equity/bond portfolio has fallen short of this target UNCIF Long-Term Performance As of June 30, (1)70% MSCI ACWI / 30% Barclays Aggregate U.S. Bond (1)

UNC Investment Fund Board of Directors: Roles and Responsibilities 10  UNCIF’s Board is tasked with:  Achieving the Fund’s primary investment objective… -Preserve the inflation-adjusted purchasing power of endowment funds in perpetuity while providing a predictable and growing stream of spending distributions  …to meet the requirements of  CHIF members - - foundations across campus  UNCIF members - - universities across the UNC System  And the 1,000’s of donors who contributed to the endowment to support University programs Endowments provide vital support to various University programs
