- For trust clients, our mission requires us to consider the purposes, terms, distribution requirements and other circumstances of the trust.
- For foundations and endowments, our mission requires us to consider the intent of a donor expressed in a gift instrument, if applicable, as well as the charitable purposes of the institution and the purposes of the institutional fund.
- For pensions, our mission requires us to follow plan documents, unless they are inconsistent with ERISA, and to consider the facts and circumstances of each investment as it pertains to a pension’s portfolio.
