A Good Time to Ask

How will my fund keep up with the real rate of educational inflation at UMaine?

Our minimum investment goal is an absolute return of 10%. Our spending policy averages 5% and total fees are 2%. The difference is returned to build the principal to offset the ravages of inflation. Endowments should maintain their purchasing power over time.
