This brief report is to inform University Endowment Fund participants of the market value of their shares and their distributions per share. It also provides information on the investment performance of the fund. The investment results shown represent total return, which includes both ordinary income and capital gains (losses).
This report is intended to communicate information on total returns, of which distributions are a part. Distributions are made at 5.5 percent of the 12-quarter average share value. The other component of return—reinvested capital gains and, to the extent available, reinvested income—is essential to protecting endowment gifts and endowment distributions against inflation.
