Part XI, Line 8Change in value of beneficial interest in perpetual trust 598,985
Part XII, Line 2dChange in value of beneficial interest in perpetual trust 598,985
Part V, Line 4The Opera's Investment Committee, a subcommittee of the Board of Directors, has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowment while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. To satisfy the long-term rate of return objectives, the Opera relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). In order to support the long-term growth of the Opera, the Investment Committee has established a spending rate policy where the endowment shall annually distribute 5% of its fair value. For funds with donor-imposed asset allocations or distributions, the distributions will conform to the donor's expressed wishes. This spending rate policy is consistent with the Opera's objective to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets held in perpetuity or for a specified term as well as to provide additional real growth through net gifts and investment return.
