Options

Accounts initiated after July 1, 2009 are managed in accordance with the latest Hawaii Revised Statutes regarding institutional funds, the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA).  

In discussing the payout, the UPMIFA statute says:

"In making a determination to appropriate or accumulate, the institution shall act in good faith, with the care that an ordinary prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances, and shall consider, if relevant, the following factors:

  1. the duration and preservation of the endowment fund
  2. the purpose of the institution in the endowment fund
  3. general economic conditions
  4. the possible effect of inflation or deflation
  5. other resources of the institution
  6. the investment policy of the institution”

UPMIFA was designed to provide for immediate and continued ongoing uninterrupted support for the University programs.

Each year, the Foundation’s Investment Committee reviews the accounts that are subject to UPMIFA, considers the relevant factors and determines the appropriate payout for these accounts.

Older endowment accounts, accounts initiated prior to July 1, 2009, are managed in either one of two ways.  Based on the market value of the account versus the book value of the account, the options are as follows:

  • Option 1: the payout continues even if the market value falls below the book value.
  • Option 2: the payout is suspended if the market value falls below the book value.  If Option 2 is selected, the account is reviewed at June 30 of each fiscal year; the payout will commence in the following fiscal year if the market value exceeds the book value by 6% or more. (The 6% threshold is utilized to help avoid potential whipsaws of the market value swinging above and below the book value.)
Expendable Payout 1-4 A separate account maintained to receive quarterly payouts from the endowment as well as to record and disburse expenditures in accordance with the terms of the endowment. In addition to receiving the payout from the endowment, gifts may be made directly to the expendable account.
