Ron Norick OCU Board of Trustees Chair

The Princeton Review recently joined U.S. News & World Report, Kiplinger, and Forbes in recognizing Oklahoma City University’s prominent regional stature and the value of our exceptional education.

I am deeply grateful for the extraordinary generosity of our many donors who make these accolades and our great work at OCU possible.

Philanthropy is an outgrowth of appreciation for our University. As you will see in this report, gifts of all sizes are making an increasingly significant difference for OCU. We must continue this momentum in the coming years to ensure the University is more accessible and an even better place for our students to learn and rise to their fullest potential.

Those who choose to invest in the University’s continuing success with gifts toward endowment are providing a margin of excellence for our people and programs, today and in the future. The legacy of our donors will impact OCU in perpetuity, forming the foundation to provide our students the quality education they deserve for generations to come.

I have great optimism for the future and what we will continue to build together.

Best regards,

ROBERT HENRY PRESIDENT, OKLAHOMA CITY UNIVERSITY

Guiding Investments Oklahoma City University strives to be a good steward of its endowed gifts and follows a prudent management philosophy in investing them. These funds are invested to maximize total return and meet income needs, while managing the level of risk by effectively diversifying investments among different asset classes and securities.

The Board of Trustees has adopted the strategy of investing endowment assets not only to meet immediate needs but to preserve the long-range purchasing power of the endowments in order to provide support in perpetuity for the programs the endowments were created to benefit.

The long-term investment goal for the endowment is to achieve an annualized total return (net of fees and expenses) through appreciation and income of at least five percent, plus the rate of inflation as measured by the broad, domestic Consumer Price Index. Thus, gifted funds maintain their value in real, inflation-adjusted terms over time.

An Investment Committee sets policy regarding the investment of endowment and other university assets. The Committee, working with the Oklahoma United Methodist Foundation and Wespath Investment Management, monitors the management of endowed funds and regularly reviews the investment policy. Any revisions to the policy must be approved by a majority vote of the Investment Committee, subject to ratification by the Board of Trustees.

Asset Allocation Asset allocation for the endowment is consistent with the investment objectives and risk tolerances expressed in the investment policy adopted by the Board of Trustees. This policy, developed after examining the historical relationships of risk and return among asset classes, is intended to provide the highest probability of meeting or exceeding the fund’s return objectives at the lowest level of risk.

As of June 30, 2014, OCU’s directly managed investments consisted of 514 separate endowments. During fiscal year 2014, OCU received $1,412,998 in new endowment gifts.

The total market value of the consolidated endowment accounts on June 30, 2014, was $60,571,810, a net increase of $6,542,337 over the previous year’s total.

Strengthened giving and positive investment performance were the main drivers of asset growth.

As the market value of OCU’s endowment continues to grow, benefits to the institution and its students will increase proportionately.

The primary objective of the invested funds is to generate an increasing stream of income to meet the rising costs of education for our students while maintaining the purchasing power of the individual endowments over time.
