Who uses it and why

For the fund director

A board pack: contribution, excess return versus the benchmark, composition and investment-policy exceptions, without merging extracts from several files.

For the board of trustees

Separate manager skill from market moves. Benchmark comparison, contribution and the structure of the endowment.

What endowments run in TrackRecords

Board reporting, endowment composition, a policy benchmark and investment-policy checks.

  • Contribution by instrument and asset class
  • TWR and MWR
  • Excess return versus the benchmark
  • Board report and a pack for the manager review

Benchmark

Build a benchmark that matches the policy

A mixed endowment needs a blended benchmark with target weights and a rebalancing rule. Comparison and attribution run against that benchmark.

  • Custom blended benchmark
  • Target weights and rebalancing rule
  • TWR versus the policy benchmark
  • Allocation and selection
