Saint Vincent College Investment Strategy
This document details the investment and distribution strategy for Saint Vincent College's endowment. The primary objective is to preserve and grow the endowment's inflation-adjusted value in perpetuity, generating returns that exceed annual spending plus inflation, to support the College's long-term strategic priorities, scholarships, student programs, and academic initiatives. The strategy emphasizes a long-term, globally diversified investment approach with allocations to equities, fixed income, and selective alternative investments. Key components include adopting a 'total return' concept for distributions (3% to 7% of a three-year rolling average), leveraging commingled funds for efficiency and access to specialized managers, and implementing robust governance and oversight through the Board of Trustees and Investment Committee.

The 2021-2026 Strategic Plan for Saint Vincent College prioritizes integrating its Catholic, Benedictine, and liberal arts mission across the community. Key areas of focus include extending hospitality and connectedness, incorporating the presence of Benedictines and other religious to enhance community and mission implementation, and advancing the College's motto of "Veri Iustique Scientia Vindex" (knowledge is the guardian of truth and justice). The plan emphasizes academic excellence through curriculum integration, new program development, and global learning opportunities. Student success is a priority, focusing on holistic development, fostering belonging, and supporting a transformative student experience. Institutional sustainability is addressed through financial stability, reducing dependence on unfunded financial aid, and strengthening environmental sustainability. The overarching goal is to cultivate a community that values the sanctity of human life, pursues truth, and serves the common good.
