The Investment Committee is pleased to report on the Endowments. The tabulation below shows year-end values of the funds for the past several years. Note: at the end of 1997, the committee was holding cash in preparation for making new investments.
The committee aims over time to maintain about 70% in equities and 30% in cash/bonds. Additional purchases are planned in the next few months.
In addition to Chair Snow, current committee members are John Saphir, Bette Sikes and Mark Yim. Julie Neuman, Church Treasurer, serves ex officio.
