How do many nonprofits, endowments and foundations typically monitor their investments?
Many nonprofits, endowments and foundations often monitor their investments through a systematic review process. This typically includes regular analysis of investment performance against established benchmarks and objectives, risk evaluation and asset allocation reviews. The organization’s investment committee, often with the support of an Outsourced Chief Investment Officer, usually carries out these reviews.
