FINANCIAL DATA

As of December 31, 2014, MacArthur's assets totaled $6.47 billion. The Foundation's investment portfolio had a return of 6.97 percent in 2014 net of investment management costs.*

The Foundation invests for the long term with the objective of earning a real rate of return, net of expenses, sufficient to fund its charitable giving and operations. The underlying principles of MacArthur's investment approach may be summarized as follows:

• The Foundation maintains a broadly diversified portfolio with allocation to a variety of asset classes, both public and private.
• The broad diversification, combined with rigorous analytical research, is intended to enable the Foundation to manage risk.
• The Foundation seeks to achieve strong net returns over time at a cost comparable to other institutions with similar asset allocations.
