Smart Investing to Build a Better Arkansas

Arkansas Community Foundation helps protect, grow and direct your charitable dollars so your fund or endowment will benefit your community both now and in the future.

Most endowed funds are pooled and invested as a group, using the “prudent investment rule” in all investment considerations. Based on the Total Return concept, this strategy allows investment managers to focus on maximum total return from capital appreciation, dividends and interest.

With investment manager Cambridge Associates, our Finance Committee develops investment objectives, policy and asset allocation, and selects managers appropriate for each asset class. Manager performance is then closely monitored on an ongoing basis. Our strategic asset allocation diversifies investments to achieve long-term growth while minimizing risk.

In order to provide flexibility, we’ve also formed an alliance with American Funds to give donors options and allow individual brokers to maintain an ongoing interest in investment assets donated by their clients.
