About Osprey Financial Group

Osprey Financial Group is comprised of undergraduate and graduate students selected to invest a portion of the Foundation's assets in a diversified, actively managed portfolio of equity and fixed income securities. The principal is from a gift to the Foundation from Jody and Layton Smith expressly for the purpose of enabling a special group of students to manage a $500,000 portion of the Endowment.

The Fund's Primary Objective is to achieve a rate of return over the longer term (rolling 5-year periods) in excess of the following weighted average benchmark:

 

S&P 500 Index (.60) + MSCI EAFE (0.10) + Barclays Aggregate Bond (.30) 

 

The Fund's Secondary Objective is to achieve a rate of return over the longer term (rolling 5-year periods) which ranks above average when compared to a representative universe of other, similarly managed balanced/blended portfolios.
