The investment pool combines a number of charitable funds into a single portfolio of investments. By combining the funds into one portfolio, it allows participating funds broad diversification and access to managers that would traditionally be unavailable or cost-prohibitive due to the size of the individual fund. The investment pool is managed by multiple investment firms who are selected based on their expertise in a particular asset class. The pool contains nationally renowned firms including those that are local and minority owned.
The Finance Committee, with the assistance of professional investment consultants, monitors the fund's performance in a quarterly basis and oversees the investment policy.
