5 Money Market Pool As of 12/31/2015 The purpose of the Money Market Pool is to provide liquidity for participating charitable funds and organizations in funding grant making and payment of fees and administrative costs while providing desired principal stability. The long term investment objective of the Money Market Pool is to seek a competitive market return to preserve and grow the portfolio, provide cash flows to meet charitable needs now and those in the future. The performance objective of the Money Market Pool is to meet or exceed the performance of the 90-Day Treasury Bill, a truly liquid money market benchmark. As such, the Money Market Pool is highly liquid, which enables donors to access funds for grants in a timely manner. The Money Market Pool invests primarily in bank deposits and high-quality institutional money market funds. The money market fund's holdings include U.S. dollar denominated money market securities of domestic and foreign issuers rated in the highest category by at least two nationally recognized rating services, U.S. Government securities, and repurchase agreements.

6 Investment Commentary December 31, 2015 For the first time since July, 2006, the Federal Reserve s Federal Open Market Committee increased the target interest rate for loans among banks, (the socalled fed funds rate ) by a quarter of a percent. That sounds like something only an economist could love, but the rate affects virtually all the other interest rates in the global economy. There has been much angst among the pundits about the wisdom of such a move. Some think it will be catastrophic while others think it is long overdue. As one might observe on the chart of 3 month Treasury bill rates shown below, the increase is a very minor blip on the landscape when compared to the last two cycles. Viewed in isolation it should have minimal impact on the economy. However, in the global financial market, nothing can be viewed in isolation, particularly when there are so many non-traditional investment vehicles that borrow large sums to make investments. Increases in the cost of borrowing create disruption for the financing of these investments. Even more disruption could occur if the higher interest rates drive the exchange rate of the dollar higher. Thus, while a quarter point increase does not sound overwhelming, the shockwaves are felt in all sectors of the capital markets. Despite that rather dour background, the Equity Pool actually rebounded in the fourth quarter with a 5. total return. That result brought the year in at a small decline of.6%. Large company U.S. stocks led the way in both the quarter and the year with returns of 6.8% and 1.1% respectively. Small company U.S. stocks and foreign stocks in general continued to underperform U.S. large company stocks. Small company stocks were up 3.1% for the quarter, but declined 3.7% for the year. The foreign emerging markets were the primary victims of the disruptions caused by the anticipation of higher U.S. interest rates and a stronger U.S. dollar. The FTSE Emerging Markets Index gained 0.3% in the quarter but declined 15. for the year. The fixed income markets also experienced volatility as investors anticipated the action by the Federal Reserve. The ten year Treasury note began 2015 with a yield of 2.17% and ended the year with a small increase at 2.27%. However, there were wide swings during the year as the yield declined to 1.68% in January and ascended to 2.42% in June. Concerns about increased risk caused corporate bond yields to rise even more as the yield on the Barclays U.S. Credit Index increased from 3.01% to 3.54%. As a review, when yields increase bond prices decline to compensate. The magnitude of the decline depends the maturity of the bond. Longer maturity bonds are more volatile than shorter term bonds. On the other hand, longer maturity bonds currently have higher yields that help offset some or all of the price declines. With that said, both fixed income pools experienced price declines during the year. However, the income earned by the bonds more than compensated for the lower prices over the course of the year. The Intermediate-Term Fixed Income Pool had a total return of.82% for the year while the Short-Term Pool had a total return of.78% for the year. For the fourth quarter the Intermediate- Term Pool declined.62% and the Short-Term Pool declined.27%. Going forward, the effect of this change in monetary policy on the fixed income pools will depend on the frequency and size of further rate increases. The Community Foundation s Investment Pools remain broadly diversified to deliver market-based investment performance in a low cost and thoughtful manner.
