CCSNH has not defined a limit in its investment policies regarding the amount that can be placed<br />

with one issuer. However, the investment policy defines that the portfolio should be well diversified<br />

as to limit exposure to one issuer or security. As of June 30, 2018, individual investments<br />

representing more than 5% of the CCSNH's investments were as follows:<br />

Strategic Advisors Core Fund 12.2<br />

Strategic Advisors Growth Fund 5.5<br />

Strategic Advisors Value Fund 5.6<br />

Strategic Advisors International Fund 8.1<br />

Strategic Advisors Core Income Fund 19.4<br />

During the year ended June 30, 2017, certain investments previously managed by and held at<br />

the Foundation were transferred to the CCSNH.<br />

Community Colleges of New Hampshire Foundation<br />

The Foundation has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that<br />

attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowment funds,<br />

while also maintaining the purchasing power of those endowment assets over the long-term.<br />

Accordingly, the investment process seeks to achieve an after-cost total real rate of return,<br />

including investment income as well as capital appreciation, which exceeds the annual<br />

distribution with acceptable levels of risk. Endowment assets are invested in a well-diversified<br />

asset mix, which includes equity and debt securities, that is intended to result in a consistent<br />

inflation-protected rate of return that has sufficient liquidity to make an annual distribution of 4%<br />

while growing the funds, if possible. Actual returns may vary from this amount. Investment risk<br />

is measured in terms of the total endowment fund; investment assets and allocation between<br />

asset classes and strategies are managed to not expose the fund to unacceptable levels of risk.<br />

Investments held by the Foundation were comprised of the following at June 30, 2018:<br />
