EWU Foundation 2022 Annual Report
Funds in the EWU Foundation endowment are managed as a single investment. Like an individual who invests in a mutual fund, an endowed fund purchases units in the endowment pool and participates in a per-unit allocation of investment pool earnings and distributions. This investment and comparative endowment performance report illustrates the performance of the pooled investment for the fiscal year July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.
Investment Objectives and Oversight
The EWU Foundation manages the investment pool with direct oversight provided by the EWU Foundation Investment Committee. The committee actively works with Northern Trust Institutional Investment Services to select asset allocations and achieve a well-diversified asset mix that balances maximum return with acceptable risk over time. Northern Trust, founded in 1889, has core principles of service, expertise and integrity.
