Investment Pools
As the fiduciary for charitable funds, the foundation is responsible for ensuring that an investment strategy aligns with the charitable purposes and philanthropic goals of a fund. To enhance efficiency and reduce the cost of operations, contributions to funds are pooled with donations from other donors for investment management and administrative purposes. Upon creating a fund, the foundation assigns it to one of the following pools:
Permanent Pool: invested for long-term growth and appreciation across multiple investment managers. The current target asset allocation of this pool is 50 percent equities, 20 percent fixed-income and 30 percent alternative investment strategies. View this pool's investment policy. View this pool’s 2008 quarter one performance report.
Socially-Responsible Pool: invested in mutual funds providing for multiple social screens and a long-term investment objective, with an asset allocation of approximately 70 percent equities and 30 percent fixed-income investments.
Short-Term Pool: designed for funds with short-term purposes or goals. Its holdings include money market, commercial paper and short-term bonds with a goal of principal preservation and income generation. View this pool's investment policy.
The California Community Foundation works with a diverse group of investment managers to ensure the success of its investment pools. View a list of traditional investment managers and hedge fund program managers.
