NBOA 2025 Annual Meeting
FEG is proud to be presenting at the upcoming 2025 NBOA Annual Conference, the premier gathering of independent school business leaders.
This year, FEG will be speaking on how participants can better structure their operating pools within their endowment. After more than a decade of minimal returns on cash, the Federal Reserve’s policy of increasing rates created opportunities for risk-free assets, such as 3-month T-bills, to generate significant returns. Cash portfolios that swiftly adjusted their strategies saw returns exceeding 5%. With the Federal Reserve now shifting from a rate-hiking stance to potential declines in 2024, investors are re-evaluating how to position their cash. Learn how your school can better structure its operating pools within the endowment in light of these shifts.
