  3. Basic Mechanics of Endowment Payout Process

  4. What is Endowment Payout? • Endowed funds in the Merged Pool (Stanford’s primary investment pool) receive a “spendable” dollar amount monthly to support university expenditures per donor wishes and restrictions. This is known as “payout.” • Payout per share is approved by the Board of Trustees every February for the following fiscal year. • The University balances the need for stable and predictable current spending with the need to preserve endowment principal to support spending into perpetuity to create intergenerational equity. • An endowment “income fund” holds the payout produced by the fund’s investment in the Merged Pool. • Income funds are accounted for in the SU or operations ledger • The principal investment is accounted for in the EN or endowment ledger Financial Management Services

  5. Payout Timing & Spending Flexibility Example: Fund with 1,000 Shares Annual Payout = $12/share; Monthly Payout $1/share $1k $1k $1k $1k $1k $1k $1k $1k $1k $1k $1k $1k Fund-holding orgs may spend anticipated payout anytime during the fiscal year Sep Mar Apr May Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Jun Jul Aug Monthly Payout = # shares X payout per share 12 Financial Management Services

  6. 1,000 X $299 =$299,000 PayoutImpact onShare Value Example: Fund value = $300K (1,000 shares, $300/share). Annual Payout = $12/share; Monthly Payout $1/share 1,000 X $300 =$300,000 Sept $1K $1K $1K $1K $1K Share value declines by $1/month as payout is distributed 1,000 X $298 =$298,000 1,000 X $296 =$296,000 1,000 X $297 =$297,000 1,000 X $288 =$288,000 This simple illustration only depicts how payout decrements share value and does not consider market fluctuation. . . . . . . .

  7. Evaluating Payout Resources “Payout Resources” are the monies available for a fund (i.e., earnings, appreciation, full market value) to make monthly payout. Example: Monthly Payout Amount = $1/share ($1,000 per fund) Vast majority of Stanford Endowment funds have sufficient resources for full payout. Financial Management Services

  8. Evaluating Payout Resources in Funds with Multiple Share Types (Pure & Quasi) Share types in a fund will be evaluated separately for payout resources and will fund payout proportionately Example Fund: 1000 shares in total; monthly payout per share = $1 Payout is covered proportionately. Pure covers pure payout; quasi covers quasi. Fund still gets full payout. Financial Management Services

  9. Do Funds Sometimes Have Insufficient Payout Resources? • Affects Pure B Limited Funds only, and only when fund is “underwater” • Monthly payout = earnings and any available appreciation • There are very few funds in this category • Endow_128_Endow_Investment report displays Quasi, Pure Limited, and Pure Unlimited to assess Payout Resources • Undistributed payout stays in principal side of fund Financial Management Services

  10. When Payout Resources are Less than Payout Amount? (affects Pure B Limited Shares only) Example: Monthly Payout Amount = $1/share ($0.10 earnings, $0.90 appreciation) Payout of earnings and available appreciation Undistributed payout is reinvested Financial Management Services

  11. Undistributed Payout Purchases New Shares to Restore Fund Value After payout Before payout 1,000 X $300 =$300,000 • Payout Resources • > Payout • “Healthy” =$300,000 $1000 Payout To Income Fund $1,000 After payout & reinvestment $900 Undistributed payout Before payout Payout Resources < Payout “Underwater” 1,000 X $300 =$300,000 =$300,000 Buys 3.01 shares at $299 /share 1,003 X $299 =$299,900 1,000 X $299 =$299,000 $100 Payout To Income Fund (Actual Earnings) $100 Applies to all funds that do not get full payout (e.g., Pool A) Financial Management Services

  12. Funds with Pure B Limited and Quasi Shares: Decapitalization Policy If pure portion does not have enough payout resources to make payout on pure shares, total payout will be impacted Example Fund: 1000 shares in total Payout on pure shares is made with available pure resources only. Total payout to fund = $370 Option to de-capitalize quasi shares to make up ‘missed’ payout Financial Management Services
