PA-9: Committee on Investor Responsibility

49er Foundation The Finance and Investment Committee of the 49er Foundation has the following charge: Consider and make recommendations to the Board on matters relating to the Corporation’s finances, not assigned to the Audit Committee, including investments, endowment spending policies, budget, and risk management; and establish guidelines within which investment managers must operate; monitor adherence to and performance under those guidelines; and make periodic reports to the Board. Per the Socially Responsible Investment Policy, the 49er Foundation endeavors to be a good corporate citizen and responsible investor by considering the environmental, social, and governance practices of the corporations in which it is invested. As an overarching goal, the 49er Foundation seeks to invest in well-managed corporations providing beneficial goods and services that align with the University’s values of diversity, sustainability, and innovation. It further values business practices that support safe and supportive work environments, build employment opportunities, demonstrate innovation in environmental protection, and benefit the disadvantaged including charitable giving and inclusion efforts. These practices can enhance the financial performance security and long-term sustainability of these corporations. As such, the 49er Foundation encourages its Outsourced Chief Investment Officers (OCIO) and investment managers to incorporate ESG analysis in the review of investment risk and opportunities. Recognizing that the 49er Foundation generally invests in funds, rather than individual companies, the Board of Directors will review any concerning investments held within funds.
