Robert Jones, CFA, is the trustee for The Homestead Foundation, a charitable organization whose mission is to provide funding to construct affordable housing in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods across the U.S. In accordance with the new Prudent Investor Rule, a key factor that Jones should consider when making investment decisions for the portfolio is:
A) |
the Foundation’s irregular needs for liquidity when undertaking construction projects. | |
B) |
to eliminate the Foundation’s assets’ exposure to investment risk through appropriate investment decisions. | |
C) |
avoiding strategies that interfere with legal list statutes, or fail to preserve the purchasing power of Foundation assets. | |
The Foundation, like every beneficiary of a trust, has its own unique liquidity needs. Jones, as trustee, must consider the Foundation’s cash flow requirements when managing trust assets. |
