Investment Objectives
The Association’s primary financial objective is to increase the real (inflation-
adjusted) purchasing power of its assets and income after accounting for
spending, inflation and costs of investment management. The Board of
Governors has established a 5% real rate of return objective for the
Association’s portfolio.

Additionally:
 The Board may establish a spending policy which attempts to balance the
long-term objective of maintaining the Association’s purchasing power
with the goal of providing a reasonable, predictable, stable and sustainable
level of spendable revenue to support current needs.
 Investment performance will be reviewed quarterly with the Manager. It is
not anticipated that the goals defined below will be satisfied in every quarter
of year. It is, however, expected that performance goals will be met over a
rolling three-year period. Analysis of performance should always be within
the context of the prevailing investment environment and the Manager’s
particular investment style. The investment performance will be evaluated
relative to the following indices and standards:

A. Indices
