Investing Cash Update
J. McDonough provided an update on recent discussions with Silicon Valley Bank (formerly Boston Private). Committee reviewed Foundation's Investment Policy and concluded the following:
- we will not set up a separate Investment Committee of the Board, but will give the current FinCom the responsibilities for selecting and supervising investment managers
- the investment goals and objectives will be separate for the school (public entity) and the Foundation (private entity)
- the Foundation will delegate to the FinCom all matters relating to the investment and supervision of funds and will receive quarterly reports from the FinCom regarding investment performance
Next steps:
1) revise the current Foundation Investment Policy document to acknowledge the FinCom's role, and establish parameters for the investments
2) create a separate Investment Policy statement regarding selecting and supervising investment managers and parameters for the School (don't know if one already exists)
Revised policy will be reviewed at Fincom and Foundation October meetings.
C.
FY22 Audit Update
C. Fisher will email Draft Report to all committee members for their review and comments.
Reviewed August financials. C. FIsher noted two significant maintenance and operations expenses (painting and blinds) for the Ottiwell Campus. Will follow up with M. Marko to possibly request funds from the Replacement & Renewal Fund.
