Questions JCF’s Investment Program
The Jewish Communal Fund (JCF) is committed to providing a comprehensive investment platform with high-quality attractive options in multiple asset classes. The spectrum of investment options provides donors, who have differing time and risk parameters, the opportunity to utilize the same platform.
JCF’s Investment Committee retained the services of an independent investment consultant, who performed an investment manager analysis to create a recommended list of investment options for JCF. This was accomplished by analyzing asset classes, various performance and consistency measures, and reviewing that data versus representative benchmarks and peer groups. Other criteria included the review of fees, manager tenure, and corporate governance.
Our investment consultant and the JCF Investment Committee monitor and review the managers on a regular basis. This review includes the performance of the funds over a long-term business cycle. It is not expected that managers will change frequently.
Donors should primarily consider their grant making horizon and risk tolerance when making investment decisions.
