Spendable Cash Represents funds that can be spent in accordance with fund purpose.     
Spendable Endowment Income Represents funds that have been transferred based on the spend rate allocation.     
Cash to be Endowed Represents donations received for endowed funds which will be used to buy units in the endowment pool during the quarter close cycle.  Such amount will be added to the Book Value of the fund.     
Outstanding Pledge Balance Represents amount remaining to be paid on original pledge amount.     
Estimated Annual Income

Step 1: Current Market Value divided by current unit value = Number of units


Step 2: Number of units multiplied by average income per unit times 4 (represents 4 quarters) =EAI excluding Cash to be Endowed Balance


Step 3: Cash to be endowed balance divided by current unit value = additional number of units


Step 4: Number of additional units multiplied by most recent average income per unit multiplied by 3 = EAI on cash to be endowed balance

NOTE: (represents the reality that such cash balances will not be endowed until the next quarter therefore 3 quarters of having units being invested in endowment pool)
Step 5: Total EAI = EAI calculated in Step 2 plus EAI calculated in Step 4 = total EAI

Step 5: Total EAI = EAI calculated in Step 2 plus EAI calculated in Step 4 = total EAI

Illustrative Example – Revised EAI calculation

Data points:

  • Current MV = $100,000
  • Current Unit Value = $1,173.5773
  • Average Income per Unit= $14.6838
  • Cash to be Endowed Balance = $12,000

Calculation:

Step 1: $100,000 / $1,173.5773 = 85.210 units


Step 2: 85.210 x $14.6838 x 4 = $ 5,004.83


Step 3: $12,000 / $1,173.5773 = 10.225 units


Step 4: 10.225 x $14.6838 x 3 = $450.43


Step 5: $5,004.83 + $450.43 =$5,455.26

Key Definitions:

Current MV = Represents the current market value. This value is the sum of the Book Value (1150) and Cumulative Fund Value Adjustment (1160) accounts.


Current Unit Value = Represents the most recent quarter end unit value. For example, if you are looking at the EAI on a fund on May 20th, the current unit value will be as of 3/31/xx the most recent closed quarter.


Average Income per Unit = Represents the 16-quarter average of unit values.


Cash to be Endowed Balance = Represents funds waiting to be endowed at the end of the quarter which are not included in the current market value.

Endowment Book Value Represents gift received into the fund as well as funds moving into a fund via an accounting transfer.    
Cumulative Fund Value Adjustment Represents the earnings (including unrealized gain/loss) of a fund.

 

 
Total Endowment Market Value Represents the sum of a fund’s Book Value and the Cumulative Fund Value Adjustment accounts.
