The Community Foundation employs a “two-track” moderate growth strategy. Track 1 or “Pool A” funds are invested in 70 percent equities and 30 percent in fixed income vehicles. Track 2 or “Pool B” funds are invested in 30 percent equities and 70 percent fixed-income vehicles. This two-track strategy has produced excellent results in both up and down markets. The Community Foundation calculates fund earnings based on a twelve rolling quarter average which levels out any losses with gains. Over the last 12 months, Pool A has performed at 16.76% and Pool B at 8.19%.
