Description: "Pension and endowment fund investing is one of today's fastest-growing investment categories, yet there continues to be a surprising lack of practical guides and references to tax-free institutional investing principles and practices."--BOOK JACKET.

"Drawing on more than twenty-five years of experience in pension investments worldwide for Eastman Kodak, as well as with several endowment funds ranging in value from $50,000 to $100 million, Rusty Olson shares what he knows about all aspects of this complex and unique type of investing in a systematic, step-by-step fashion. While the book explores an array of best practices and proven techniques, it is not an investment manager's "cookbook" offering one-size-fits-all strategies.

Rather, it describes the principles and tools needed to develop a solid investment program and challenges you to tailor them in the most effective way for your organization."--BOOK JACKET. "The Independent Fiduciary is a working resource for pension and endowment fund managers, finance executives, institutional investors who service pension and endowment funds, and anyone who sits on a pension or endowment fund committee."--BOOK JACKET.
