The University of Toledo Foundation achieved a 2.3 percent total investment return for the 2015 fiscal year, surpassing the 2.0 percent average for participants of similar asset size, in the NACUBO-Commonfund Study of Endowments.<\/p>\n

\"UTF<\/a>The UT Foundation also outperformed national averages for the three-, five- and 10-year returns for its asset class in the industry survey by the National Association of College and University Business Officers and the Commonfund. The UT Foundation\u2019s five-year-average return was 11.3 percent, compared to a 9.5 percent average for peer institutions.<\/p>\n

Investments are overseen by the UT Foundation Board of Trustees and its investment committee.<\/p>\n

Broad diversification and a focus on long-term growth are major components of the UT Foundation\u2019s investment success, noted Russ Mitchell, investment committee chair.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we are always mindful of our short-term performance, UT Foundation funds are held in perpetuity. Therefore, we remain focused on long-term results rather than year-to-year returns or attempting to time the market,\u201d he said. \u201cOur investments continue to perform well against our benchmarks.\u201d<\/p>\n

The University of Toledo and the UT Foundation\u2019s combined endowment totaled $419.2 million as of June 30, 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
