Podcasts about endowments

Over the last few years, in addition to teaching young single adults a temple prep class she calls “Temple Plus,” Melinda Brown has traveled from her home in Utah to Durham, North Carolina to pursue a degree from Duke Divinity School. In the process, she has found her love and appreciation for the temple deepen. On this week's episode, she shares why she believes the gifts God intends to endow us with within His holy house are intended to bless our lives in the present.  She now recognizes that eternity is now. 2:50- Divinity School 11:25- Liturgy and Temple Worship 16:15- The Giver and the Receiver 22:51- Teaching Children About the Temple 31:21- Seeking a Positive Temple Experience 38:19- Temple Garments 43:25- Practice 48:09- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? “Every day is a new starting point and we just get to keep trying.

The National Endowment for the Arts has withdrawn more than half a million dollars worth of grants that arts organizations all over Oregon were relying on. Portland Playhouse got a letter that said it would not get $25,000 meant for its production of August Wilson’s and Joe Turner’s "Come and Gone" that was to open the next day. Other organizations that saw their funding pulled include All Classical Portland, Oregon Children’s Theatre, NW Children’s Theatre, Passinart: A Theatre Company, and Profile Theatre. Portland Playhouse donors quickly made up the theatre’s lost $25,000 grant, but future federal funding is looking bleak to many Oregon arts organizations. Many of them met this week with Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, who vowed to do everything in her power to get federal funding restored. Claire Willett is a Portland-based playwright, artist and grant writer. She’s been following the NEA funding cuts for Oregon Arts Watch and joins us to share the latest developments.

In this episode, Bill welcomes Roger Vincent, founder of Summation Capital, to explore the evolving private equity landscape. Roger shares insights from his 30-year career, including his pivotal role at Cornell's Endowment and his motivation for creating Summation to deliver institutional-quality private equity access to high-net-worth investors. They address private equity's shift from an exclusive asset class to a complex industry, the challenges of democratization, the critical role of manager selection, and the importance of fee structures. Roger also discusses the future impact of AI in investment strategies and portfolio construction.

Evan Horowitz of the Center for State Policy Analysis at Tufts University says it won't be easy for the school to offset the loss of roughly $2 billion in federal funds frozen by the Trump administration.

Should you invest in gold for the long term? Gold has been a great asset to hold over the last year, but I remain a skeptic of investing in gold long term. I personally don't own any gold nor would I recommend buying gold at this point in time. While the recent gains in the price of gold look attractive, given the fact it is up over 20% so far this year in a difficult market, the long-term results aren't enticing. There are periods of time where gold has been a strong performer, but trying to guess those periods is extremely difficult. If we look at January 1980 gold reached $850 per ounce, but the important number here is that the inflation adjusted price was $3,486 per ounce. This means it was not until recently when gold hit $3,500 per ounce, we see an all-time high on an inflation adjusted basis and essentially you made no real gain for over 45 years. At the end of the day gold is just a piece of metal worth only what the next person will pay for it. It has no earnings, no interest, no rents. This makes it extremely difficult to value and given the added expenses for trading and holding gold, it just does not make sense to me. I will continue to invest in good strong businesses at fair prices as I believe that is the best strategy for long term wealth creation.   Why is the government supporting universities with large endowments? I've never really thought about this before. I have known that some big universities have multibillion dollar endowment funds, but I did not realize that 658 institutions have approximately $874 billion, which is nearly $1trillion in endowment funds. When I dug a little bit deeper, I discovered that in addition to these universities receiving money from the federal government via grants, some pay little or no income tax and also get a waiver on property taxes. If you're starting to get a little bit irritated at this point because your hard-working dollars are going to universities like Harvard that has a $53 billion endowment or Yale with a $41 billion endowment, you might be like me and think it's time that things change. The cost of tuition at Harvard is $57,000 per year and the President makes about $1.3 million a year. The president of San Diego State University has a salary of $531,000 and the cost for one year of tuition is about $8700. I'm sure the students at Harvard do receive a more prestigious education than at San Diego State University, but is it 6 1/2 times better? Do the students that graduate from Harvard make a salary that's 600% more than a graduate from San Diego State University? I don't think so. I wondered where money from these endowments goes and basically 48.1% of endowment distributions go to fund student financial aid, 17.7% goes to academic programs and research, 10.8% is used for endowment faculty positions and nearly 17% of the endowment funds are used for other purposes. Wouldn't it be nice to know what those purposes are? I think we need to take a hard look at what universities have in their endowment funds, their tax benefits and grants, and let's have more students here in the United States benefit from those billions of dollars to get a good education as opposed to the fat cats in the Ivy League towers of the universities. One other point I found interesting was the investing philosophy for these endowment funds. The goal is to earn around 8% per year and pay out 4.5% to 5% to fund those various expenses. This should then allow the endowment fund to continue growing. A big problem is many have not been able to achieve that goal with only 25% of 152 schools that were surveyed being able to meet the 8% return over the last 10 years. The other concern is if they can't cut expenses if there is a lack of grants, many endowments are not liquid. Harvard for example had 39% in private equity, 32% in hedge funds, 5% in real estate, 3% in real assets, and just 3% in cash. With all this said I really believe this system should be reviewed to better the entire country, rather than just the Ivy League system.   Could the trade wars hurt home prices? We are starting to see some cracks in the housing market, such as the delinquency rate on FHA mortgages, which cater to the high-risk borrowers who can't qualify for a conventional mortgage because they either have a small down payment or weak credit. The delinquency rate for FHA currently stands at 11% according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, it has not been at this level for 12 years. Unfortunately, and we warned against it, but many people have stretched themselves too far financially to get into a home over the last few years. Because it's only been two or three years since they bought their home, after fees and commissions they may not have much if any equity built up in that home. Another area of weakness that is being seen is with the homebuilders who have really increased their incentives because they have more completed but unsold homes. The builders are getting a little bit worried because they have not seen this many homes sitting on their lots with no buyers since 2009. The average incentives for homebuilders is usually around 5% of the total value of the home, but we are starting to see some incentives around 13% from big builders like Lennar. The volatility of the 10-year treasury, which mortgages generally trade off of, has not been helpful because it has had a wide trading range lately. This then makes it difficult for homebuyers to lock in a good rate. At this point in time, I think I would be waiting to buy a home until maybe late summer. I think there should be some good deals at that point in time as the tariff war should continue to progress and we should have a clearer picture of the economy by that time.   Financial Planning: Why converting 100% of pretax is bad Roth conversions can be a powerful tax planning tool, but like any tool, using it the wrong way can do more harm than good. One of the most common mistakes we see is the idea that you should convert all of your pre-tax retirement savings, like a traditional IRA or 401(k), to a Roth account. Everyone loves the idea of a tax-free retirement. When you convert money from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, you're moving it from a pre-tax account to a tax-free account, but there's a price, the converted amount is considered income and you must pay ordinary income tax in the year of the conversion. Once converted funds grow tax-free. The best way to think about money in a pre-tax account is that it is deferred income.  It will be taxed, it's just a matter of when.  When you make contributions to a pre-tax account, you are not receiving a tax deduction, you are deferring income to a future year. When performing a Roth conversion, you are voluntarily deciding to pay tax on that income, even though you don't have to yet.  This only makes sense if you are able to convert at a lower tax rate than you would otherwise be subject to if you did not convert.  This most commonly happens between the beginning of retirement, typically in your 60's, and the beginning of your required distributions at age 75. During that period taxable income is generally lower which means conversions may be done at a lower tax rate than when required distributions begin at 75. Required distributions can be a problem because if you have too much in pre-tax accounts, your required taxable distributions may push you into a higher tax bracket and trigger IRMAA.  Roth conversions help this by shifting funds from pre-tax to tax-free, therefore reducing the level of taxable distributions beginning at 75.  However there is an efficient amount that should be converted for every person.  Converting 100% of pre-tax funds means you will likely be in a lower tax bracket after the conversions, and will potentially not have any tax liability at all.  This doesn't sound bad, but it means you likely paid too much in tax to convert the funds in the first place.  Again, money in a pre-tax account is deferred income that will be taxed.  The goal is to have that income taxed at the lowest rate possible.  If you convert too aggressively you may be settling for a higher tax rate on the money coming out and not receive enough tax-free income from the Roth to justify it.  Instead, structuring withdrawals and conversions to keep your taxable income consistently low all through retirement will result in a higher level of after-tax income.   Companies Discussed: Netflix (NFLX), The Walt Disney Company (DIS), Albertsons Companies, Inc.

Send us a textThis week, we break down the tension between Jerome Powell and Donald Trump—and what it actually means for monetary policy. If you listened to Powell's latest remarks at the Economic Club of Chicago, you may not have thought much of it, but anyone knows how to decode the Fed's deliberately vague words noticed unmistakably hawkish tone. We explain how to read between the lines of Fed speak, what it really means when the Fed prioritizes price stability over growth. We also get into why Trumps remarks on Truth Social led some to be concerned he's considering firing the Fed Chair... we discuss what that would mean for the credibility of U.S. markets.We dive into the economics of elite universities and the real impact of pulling federal research funding. We explain how endowments actually work, where that money goes, and why cutting research dollars isn't just about punishing a school—it risks gutting innovation across biotech, national defense, and the U.S. economy more broadly. Finally, we unpack the return of the Big Tech breakup debate. With Meta and Google back in court over antitrust issues, we explain what a corporate spinoff actually is, how it works, and why breaking up a giant like Meta might help your portfolio. From conglomerate discounts to split-offs and subsidiary IPOs, we walk through the corporate finance mechanics that could drive the next big move in tech.Sign up for our Talent Accelerator HERE today!

In this wide-ranging conversation, Jeff Malec sits down with Dave Morehead, CIO of Baylor University's $2.2 billion endowment, to explore the unique challenges and strategies of institutional portfolio management. The discussion covers Baylor's innovative approach to portfolio construction, including their successful deployment of volatility strategies during the 2020 market crash, their current cautious stance on equity exposure, and their philosophy on private investments. Morehead explains why they're shifting away from cyclical assets in private markets and focusing on secular growth trends in healthcare, technology, and consumer sectors.Particularly timely is their analysis of recent market volatility, bond market dynamics, and the broader implications of trade policies on institutional investment strategies. The conversation provides a rare glimpse into how a major university endowment navigates market uncertainty while maintaining its core mission of supporting education and student scholarships.Whether you're an institutional investor, family office manager, or investment professional, this episode offers valuable perspectives on long-term portfolio management and the evolving landscape of institutional investing.

Gloucester Cathedral, St Peter's Abbey before the dissolution in 1540, was founded in 1541. The ‘Deed of Endowment', one of three documents created for the occasion features in this video complete with flattering portrait of King Henry VIII, a Garter Badge, badge of the Prince of Wales and the original green and white (the Tudor colours) silk cord which once held the great seal. The oldest items in the archive are pages from Aelfric's The Lives of Saints which had been reused as decorative pages in a later book binding. They are around 1000 years old and look as fresh as the day they were written!The most significant item to the Cathedral is its ‘Historia,' created by monks at the Abbey in the 1390s and recording as much of the Abbey's history as they were able to. Archivist Rebecca Phillips is fairly confident that they didn't have written records from which to source information and so this is the first time the oral history of the abbey had been written down. It would then have been copied and distributed to daughter houses of the Abbey to share their story and engender a sense of belonging. British History is a reader-supported publication. To support my work, please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.We get to see these items up close in this video plus an exquisitely embroidered King James Bible, the first Chapter Book of the Cathedral containing the signature of William Laud, and an ironic reliquary. The reliquary is thought to contain a fragment of the stake on which Bishop Hooper, Bishop of Gloucester, was burned during Mary I's reign. It's a beautifully carved and decorated box, the irony being in that Hopper was opposed to the use of relics. I hope you enjoy this video.

In this episode Warren Ingram and Pieter de Villiers discuss the intricacies of retirement fund contributions, tax benefits, and investment strategies for individuals nearing retirement answering your questions. They speak to the importance of understanding contribution limits, maximizing tax benefits, and the need for liquidity in retirement. Question: "Hello Honest Money team, I have a question regarding which in your opinion is the better long term (15 years or more) approach: Contributing more than R350k per year to your provident fund or only contributing up to R350k and putting the rest in to a tax free savings account? From my own research there seems to be merit in both, but I'm still unclear on what the optimal solution could be. I would appreciate your opinion on this. Thank you and regards, Gert Kruger."TakeawaysYou can contribute up to 27.5% of your taxable income to retirement funds.Over-contributions to retirement funds can be rolled over for tax benefits.Tax-free savings accounts have strict contribution limits and penalties for over-contribution.Maximizing contributions to retirement funds is generally advisable for tax benefits.Liquidity is crucial in retirement for unexpected expenses and lifestyle choices.Flexibility in accessing funds is more valuable than strict tax efficiency.Diversification helps mitigate concentration risk in retirement planning.Endowments can be beneficial for high-income earners due to tax advantages.It's important to balance tax planning with overall investment strategy.Life events can impact financial decisions, so having accessible capital is essential.Learn more about Prescient Investment Management here.Send us a textHave a question for Warren?
