Description

Investing in Pension Funds and Endowments focuses on institutional tax-free investing by pension funds, endowments, and foundations. This type of investing is highly susceptible to returns, and the fiduciaries involved with the fund face dramatic effects with even a 1 percent change in long-term rates of return. It is crucial that fiduciaries operate prudently in order to achieve higher rates of return. The book covers a gamut of investing insights and tools for managers who focus on pension funds, endowments, and foundations. From setting investment objectives to the pros and cons of such funds, Rusty Olson shares his expert experience to help readers get the most out of their funds. Based on the author's previous book The Independent Fiduciary (Wiley, 1999), this new guide includes insight into asset allocation, risk, and calculating rates of return. The book then moves on to cover higher-level topics, including venture capital funds, hedging foreign exchange, and fund governance.
