Individually Managed Funds Policy
Introduction
Silicon Valley Community Foundation is pleased to provide donors the option of a customized
investment approach by recommending a preferred investment advisor of their choice. This
approach allows donors and their investment advisors to maintain their professional relationships
while furthering the donor's philanthropic goals.
Minimums
Fund size minimums vary based on the make-up of the investment portfolio. For portfolios holding
traditional assets such as publicly traded equity and fixed-income securities, mutual funds and
exchange traded funds, the minimum fund size is $3 million. Inclusion of alternative investments
such as private equity and hedge funds will be considered on a case-by-case basis for a minimum
fund size of $10 million.
Approval Process
The community foundation will work with the recommended advisor to establish an asset allocation
that is a Iriate to the donor's • antmakin s and time horizon
ent s The investment committee generally meets quarterly. Every effort will be made
to evaluate proposals in a timely manner, however, evaluation and approval may take up to three
months to complete.
The advisor's proposed investment strategy should address the following points:
• Qualifications and credentials of the advisor, team and firm.
• Advisor's investment philosophy, approach and rebalancing process.
• Proposed target asset allocation, policy ranges and performance benchmark.
• Proposed investments for each asset class, including expenses, historical performance and
proposed performance benchmarks.
• Fees charged by the advisor and in total for the portfolio.
• Sample investment management and custodial agreements.
Fees
Silicon Valley Community Foundation assesses support fees to cover the cost of administration and
to continue its important work in our community. Fees provide the necessary resources to operate
efficiently and effectively, ensuring fiscal responsibility in grant due diligence, donor and nonprofit
education, research and other activities. A one-time setup fee of $1,000 is required to cover expenses
associated with investment advisor due diligence and establishing new investment accounts. Each
fund is charged 0.05% for investment oversight to help defray the cost of administration. Funds
with balances below $2.5 million will be assessed a 1% investment oversight fee. One-twelfth of
support and investment oversight fees are assessed monthly based on average fund balance. Please
refer to the current schedule of Support Fees for additional information.

EFTA01851907
Fund Balance Minimums
Funds with balances under $1 million for six consecutive months will be transferred to the
investment pools offered by the community foundation.
Responsibilities
All assets are under the sole control of the community foundation. As such, all investment decisions
must be made by the community foundation. Investment performance will be reviewed quarterly by
the community foundation's staff and investment committee. The investment advisor may be
replaced at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to deviation from the terms of this
policy, ethical or legal violations, performance which does not meet or exceed established
benchmarks over a period of time, excessive fees or key staff changes.
Investment Advisor Responsibilities
The fund's investment advisor and underlying investment managers are held to the same high
standards the community foundation employs for all its investment managers:
1. Following the Prudent Investors guidelines that arc widely used in the investment management
industry. These include but are not limited to fiduciary standards described in the Uniform
Prudent Investor Act (UPIA), the Uniformed Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act
(UPMIFA) and the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) that are promulgated by
the Investment Performance Council of the CFA Institute.
2. As fiduciaries, all managers are expected to uphold the highest ethical standards and to carry out
their investment responsibilities in order to promote the best interest of Silicon Valley
Community Foundation.
3. Immediately reporting any findings against the firm or its principals, either by the SEC or any
other regulatory authority. In addition, any lawsuits brought against the firm or its principals
related to the firm's business activities should also be immediately reported to the community
foundation.
4. Preparing quarterly written statements, including actions taken in the portfolio and expected
changes in the portfolio.
5. Directing proxies to the community foundation or its delegate as instructed. If left to the
manager, all proxies should be voted to increase shareholder value unless directed by the
community foundation to do otherwise.
6. Attending meetings with the community foundation staff, its consultant and investment
committee as needed.
7. Adhering to the investment strategy and policy for which the advisor was hired.
8. Executing all transactions in the best interests of its clients. This usually involves obtaining the
best net realized price for a purchase or a sale. It also includes using commissions to obtain
research or other services that arc expected to enhance both the investment process and the
returns.

but is not limited to:
• Changes in personnel involved in the community foundation's relationship
• Changes in ownership
• Changes in senior investment professionals' responsibilities
• Changes in investment style or process
• Similar significant changes at underlying investment managers
Performance Reporting

basis, net of fees, against the two benchmarks indicated in Appendix A. The investment advisor will
independently report performance at least quarterly, on a time weighted basis and net of fees, against
the same or similarly constructed benchmarks.

Appendix A — Investment Guidelines
Asset Allocation
The community foundation believes asset allocation and regular rebalancing arc primary driven of
consistent performance and that individually managed funds should follow an asset allocation
strategy that is largely identical to that of other funds of similar size, time horizon, spending policy
and risk profile.
Investment advisors will propose an investment strategy that is appropriate to the size of the fund
and aligned with the donor's philanthropic goals. The proposed strategy will employ a diversified
mix of asset classes and investment styles. Portfolios will be monitored for consistent application of
the investment strategy. Advisors are encouraged to use a format similar to the example below for
proposing the investment strategy and allocation, the details of which will vary based on fund size,
donor objectives and advisor strategy.
Example Proposal Format
Asset Class Investment Benchmark Allocation Target Range Fee Structure Total

Performance Reporting
The community foundation will compute and evaluate investment performance on a time weighted
basis, net of fees, against a "market benchmark" that best approximates the portfolio's exposure to
risk using a simple mix of stocks and bonds, and against a "composite benchmark" that is comprised
of various indices weighted by the target allocation to each asset class represented in the portfolio.
Investment advisors should use the table below to indicate proposed benchmark weightings. The
investment advisor will independently report performance at least quarterly, on a time weighted
basis and net of fees, against the same or similarly constructed benchmarks. The advisor may utilize
additional benchmarks.

Appendix B - Investment Guidelines by Asset Class
The community foundation has adopted the following guidelines and restrictions for each asset class
as listed in Appendix A. The guidelines below apply to separate accounts managed by the advisor or
by managers selected by the advisor to the extent that a particular asset class is included in the
portfolio. For mutual funds and commingled funds, restrictions are established by the offering
documents for each investment.
I. Domestic Equity (Large/Mid/Small Capitalization)
• The domestic equity portfolio will be diversified according to economic sector, industry,
number of holdings and other investment characteristics. However, it is recognized that any
actively managed portfolio will not be as diversified as the market. To produce overall
diversification, equity managers will be selected to employ different management strategies,
which together achieve the desired degree of diversification.
• Domestic equity managers are permitted to hold up to 10 percent (10%) of the portfolio in
American Depository Receipts ("ADRs") or foreign domiciled companies whose equity
securities arc traded in U.S. markets.
• No more than seven percent (7%) at cost or 10 percent (10%) at market of the manager's
portfolio may be held in the securities of a single issuer.
• The community foundation does not apply strict rules to define small, middle or large
capitalization stocks. However, it is expected that the weighted average market capitalization
of each managers' portfolio will be within 25 percent (25%) of their primary market
benchmark.
• Short selling of securities is prohibited.
• Derivative instruments such as financial futures and options may not be used without the
prior approval of the community foundation.
• A manager may only deviate from these guidelines with the advance permission of the
community foundation.
2. International Equity (Developed and Emerging)
• The following definitions should be used to distinguish between developed and emerging
markets securities:
International Developed Equity Listed equity securities traded on developed non-
U.S. markets. Developed markets are defined as those included in Morgan Stanley's
SAFE index plus Canada.
Emerging Markets Equity): Listed equity securities traded on emerging non-U.S.
markets. Emerging markets are defined as any market not included in Morgan
Stanley's EAFE index plus Canada.
12.06.12 Page 6 of 10
EFTA R1_00246325
EFTA01851912
• 'The portfolio will be diversified according to economic sector, industry, number of holdings
and other investment characteristics. However, it is recognized that any actively managed
portfolio will not be as diversified as the market. To produce overall diversification, equity
managers will be selected to employ different management strategies, which together achieve
the desired degree of diversification.
• For managers who arc hired to invest in developed markets, securities within the portfolio
must be held in a minimum of three countries at all times with no more than 30 percent
(30%) of the portfolio to be held in emerging markets countries. For managers hired to
invest in emerging markets, securities within the portfolio must be held in a minimum of
three countries at all times.
• No more than seven percent (7%) at cost or 10 percent (10%) at market of the portfolio
may be held in the securities of a single issuer.
• Short selling of securities is prohibited.
• Currency exposure may be hedged back to the U.S. dollar. The decision to hedge is left to
the manager's discretion.
3. Alternative Investments
Alternative investments such as hedge funds, real estate, real assets and private equity will be
considered on a case by case basis for funds of $10 million or more. 'These investments will be
made via limited partnerships and commingled funds. Therefore, restrictions are established by
the offering documents for each investment. Please refer to Exhibit C for hedge funds
specifically.
4. U.S. Fixed Income
• The duration of the portfolio should be within 25 percent (25%) of the duration of the
manager's market benchmark.

Bonds or notes issued by the U.S. Government or a U.S. Government Agency
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government
Mortgage-backed securities
Corporate bonds issued in the U.S. and denominated in U.S. dollars
Asset-backed securities
Non-U.S. bonds or notes issued by either foreign governments or corporations,
subject to limitations noted below.
• Investment grade bond managers are expected to maintain an average quality rating for their
portfolio that does not fall below an S&P rating of AA-. High yield bond managers are
expected to maintain an average quality rating for their portfolio that does not fall below an

agencies will be used. If securities are un-rated, the Foundation will assess risk and
compliance with this policy based on the portfolio's strategy. For the purpose of calculating
average quality ratings, securities issued or fully backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Government shall be considered AAA.
• For investment grade managers, up to 20 percent (20%) of the portfolio's duration weight
may be held in below investment grade securities.
• Up to 25 percent (25%) of the portfolio's duration weight may be held in the securities of
foreign issuers. It is expected that the preponderance of the currency exposure associated
with these holdings will be hedged.
• No more than five percent (5%) at market of the portfolio may be held in the securities of a
single corporate issuer. This restriction does not apply to securities issued by the U.S.
Government or a U.S. Government Agency backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Government.
• Derivative instruments may be utilized by the manager in order to obtain more efficient
exposure to a specific type of security. However, at no time may derivative instruments be
used to leverage the portfolio. In addition, it is expected that a manager will have thoroughly
tested the behavior of the derivative instrument under a variety of market conditions before
purchasing the instrument for the portfolio.
5. Global Fixed Income
• The duration of the portfolio should be within 25 percent (25%) of the duration of the

Asset-backed securities
• The manager is expected to maintain a weighted average quality rating for the portfolio that
does not fall below an S&P rating of AA-. For securities not rated by S&P, classification by
other major ratings agencies will be used. If securities are un-rated, the Foundation will
assess risk and compliance with this policy based on the portfolio's strategy. For the
purpose of calculating average quality ratings, securities issued or fully backed by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. Government shall be considered AAA.
• Up to 20 percent (20%) of the portfolio's duration weight may be held in below investment
grade securities.

EFTA_R1_00246327
EFTA01851914
• Derivative instruments may be utilized by the manager in order to obtain more efficient
exposure to a specific type of security. However, at no time may derivative instruments be
used to leverage the portfolio. In addition, it is expected that a manager will have thoroughly
tested the behavior of the derivative instrument under a variety of market conditions before
purchasing the instrument for the portfolio.
6. Cash and Equivalents
• A key objective for cash investments is to maintain price stability at all times although this is
not guaranteed.
• The weighted average maturity of the money market securities segment of the portfolio will
generally be less than or equal to 90 days. Certificate of Deposits will be purchased using a
laddered approach to maturities which could involve the use of longer maturities, although
this portfolio will be structured to maintain adequate liquidity for the pool as a whole.
• Within the money market securities segment, the portfolio will generally be invested in
money market securities that are in the highest ratings categories for short-term instruments.
Furthermore, the portfolio may invest in the following:
▪ Obligations of the U.S. Government (including its agencies and instrumentalities)
Short-term corporate debt securities of domestic and foreign corporations

EFTA01851915
Appendix C - Alternative Investment Guidelines
Alternative investments include private equity, real estate, commodities and hedge funds. In general,
alternatives will only be considered if the investment in question is one that the community
foundation would add to its own portfolio. Proposed investments in alternative asset classes will be
considered on a case-by-case basis.
Hedge Fund Guidelines
• No more than 20 percent (20%) of the donor's fund may be invested in hedge funds.
• Fees will not exceed 2% plus 20% of the profits for individual hedge funds.
• Fees will not exceed 1%, inclusive of any expected carry, for hedge fund-of-funds.
• The hedge fund portfolio must be sufficiently diversified. For example, a minimum of two fund-
of-funds or four individual fund managers with different investment strategies is preferable.
Proper diversification is also dependent on the size of the allocation within the overall portfolio
with larger manager counts needed for larger allocation sizes.
• Historical performance of the fund must be at least 200 basis points per annum ahead of the
HFRI Fund of Funds Index over multiple time periods—five years minimum.
• Fund-of-funds managers may not offer their own hedge funds, provide service of any kind to
hedge fund managers in the portfolio, or accept compensation of any kind from hedge fund
managers, thereby avoiding conflicts of interest. This restriction effectively eliminates most
investment bank offered funds due to their prime brokerage businesses.
• Fund managers must supply the community foundation with monthly statements summarizing
performance, investments and activity.
• Fund-of-funds will not use leverage at the fund-of-funds level.
• Fund-of-funds managers will limit total assets to a reasonable level (e.g., under $5 billion).
• Lockup periods will not exceed 12 months.
