Conservation Trust Fund Investment Survey 2017

+ Webinar Info

When?:

December 18th: 8am - 9am EDT (New York City)

Summary:

Katy Mathias, manager of the Conservation Trust Investment Survey (CTIS) Project and co-author, with Ray Victurine, of the CTIS annual report, conducted two webinars for CFA members on December 18 to share results of the CTIS report for Calendar Year 2017. The identical presentations were held 12 hours apart to accommodate a range of time zones. The webinar audio recording and Powerpoint slides are available below.

The webinar highlighted some key findings from the most recent study. The participants' organizational and endowment nominal investment returns for calendar year 2017 were higher than those from 2016, while sinking fund returns were slightly below 2016. In general, however, CTF returns were lower than might be expected given global investment performance in 2017. This may be attributed to, on average, the CTFs' tendency to under-allocate equity, relative to fixed income and cash. For a recording of the session please see below.
