Consolidated Fund Investment Management
Final authority for investment management of the Consolidated Fund lies with the Board of Directors.  However, it is the primary responsibility of the Investment Committee, in particular the investment professionals who make up the Small Investment Committee.  Areas of responsibility include:

 

 

Asset Allocation
57% domestic stocks / 33% fixed income / 5% REITs / 5% international stocks 

Goal

Earn a real return of 5.5% over inflation, net of all fees and costs.

Costs
Part of our mission is to operate simply, not incurring unnecessary costs to constituents.  Fiduciary does not charge fees as such, only the costs required to operate.  Costs are deducted before any income earned per unit is calculated.  Total costs, including management fees, average 0.50% (50 basis points) of assets in the Fund.

Socially Responsible Investment
Investments are guided by traditional Quaker values and testimonies.  The Small Investment Committee reviews all equity recommendations before purchase for adherence to our socially responsible investment criteria.
