 About TIFF

The Investment Fund for Foundations (TIFF) was founded in 1991 by a nationwide network of foundations. Its mission is to seek to improve the investment returns of eligible organizations by making available to them a series of multi-manager investment vehicles plus resources aimed at enhancing fiduciaries' knowledge of investing.

 TIFF Mutual Funds

TIFF Investment Program, Inc. (TIP) is comprised of no-load mutual funds available primarily to foundations, endowments, other 501(c)(3) organizations, and certain other non-profit organizations meeting specified accreditation requirements. TIP consists of two mutual funds at present: TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (MAF) and TIFF Short-Term Fund (STF). TIFF Advisory Services, Inc. (TAS) serves as the investment advisor to the funds. MAF operates primarily on a multi-manager basis, and TAS has responsibility for the time-intensive task of selecting money managers and other vendors for the fund as well as for the all-important task of asset allocation. With respect to STF, TAS is responsible for the day-to-day management of all of the fund’s assets.

 Financial Statements

TIP is pleased to provide this Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2011. Additional discussion of the performance of the mutual funds described herein has been provided to members via the TIFF Marketable Investments quarterly reports during 2011. In early 2012, MAF launched its own quarterly report. STF reporting is available at www.tiff.org.

 Portfolio Management Review (unaudited)

Performance Review

TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (MAF) fell short of achieving a positive return for the year ended December 31, 2011, one marked by high volatility in capital markets and divergent signals about future economic growth. MAF returned -1.70% during calendar year 2011 before the deduction of entry and exit fees. For the same period, the fund’s primary performance benchmark, CPI + 5%, returned +8.10%, and its secondary benchmark, the MAF Constructed Index (CI), returned -1.29%. By comparison, the MSCI All Country World (ACW) Index, the broad-based global securities market index presented as a benchmark in MAF’s prospectus and in this annual report in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, returned -7.35% during calendar year 2011. For complete, annualized performance data, see the table on page 4.

Investor concerns about the debt burdens of many developed nations in Europe as well as the mounting debt load of the United States government continued unabated in 2011. Robust economic growth and job creation remained elusive, and a natural disaster in Japan, the world’s third-largest economy, created a further brake on growth. Equities, the main driver of MAF’s total return segment, proved to be a particularly difficult investment arena in 2011 for active managers of capital because of the pronounced tendency of many individual stocks to trade in close correlation with broad stock markets during the year. Picking winners was not easy.

MAF underperformed the CI by 0.41% (before deduction of entry and exit fees) during 2011. While TIFF Advisory Service’s (TAS) asset allocation decisions were generally a positive influence on performance, stock selection by MAF’s underlying managers detracted from performance and outweighed the contribution of asset allocation. Some underlying managers outperformed their respective benchmarks but too few to propel the fund to outperform the CI for the year.

During 1Q, all six market indices included in the CI registered modest gains. Given the uncertainties of the market environment, MAF’s positioning was defensive in nature, and the fund was underweight the higher-returning segments. The devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March — causing widespread destruction, significant loss of life, and

broad nuclear safety concerns — also were a drag on performance. Many (but not all) of MAF’s Japanese stocks fell in the post-quake period, offering an opportunity to allocate more capital to Mission Value Partners, an MAF manager that focuses on Japanese equities. MAF did so in the belief that selected Japanese stock holdings offered attractive real return opportunities with risks that differed materially from the risks facing much of the global equity market. MAF’s manager roster grew in 1Q through an investment in a fund managed by Hong Kong-based Azentus Capital Management, which pursues absolute returns primarily through long and short positions in the equity of companies domiciled in or having significant economic exposure to Asia. TAS continues to like the opportunity set for long/short investing in Asia, especially with a team that is based in the region and that TAS perceives to be especially skillful. As of year-end, Azentus stewarded approximately 1% of MAF’s capital.

In 2Q, MAF’s positioning remained essentially unchanged, with the fund’s tilts versus the CI at -7% for total return assets and +7% for hedging assets at quarter-end. During the quarter, MAF redeemed fully from a fund managed by Regiment Capital Management, a manager that had generated respectable risk-adjusted returns from high-yield bond investing. TAS decided to redeem in part because of the constraints imposed by MAF’s structure on its ability to invest capital in funds with liquidity windows that extend beyond seven days.

During 3Q, anxiety among investors over the soundness of the debt of large and small nations in Europe and the future of Europe’s common currency rose significantly, and in the US, the rating agency Standard & Poor’s downgraded long-dated US Treasury debt from AAA to AA+. The S&P 500 Index, representing primarily large capitalization US stocks, declined 13.87% in the quarter, and European stocks, represented by the Euro Stoxx 50 Index, which tracks large-company stocks in the euro zone, plunged 23.12% in local currency terms. MAF entered the quarter positioned to protect capital, with roughly 18% of fund assets in cash equivalents (Treasury bills and overnight deposits). As a result, MAF proved to be less vulnerable to the broad sell-off, declining 8.69% before the deduction of entry and exit fees, or 1.13% less than the 9.82% decline in the CI. The sharp moves in equity markets made TAS’s asset allocation role more challenging and required some rebalancing of the fund’s assets. As the global stocks, high yield bonds, commodities, and REITs segments of

the portfolio declined, TAS added equity exposure through the purchase of stock index futures contracts. On the manager front, MAF redeemed its available capital from a fund managed by Och-Ziff Capital Management at quarter-end. The multi-strategy manager represented less than a 1% allocation in MAF.

The final quarter of the year saw little relief from the high volatility of the earlier quarters, and superior stock selection by MAF’s underlying managers failed to materialize. Thus, the fund was unable to overcome its performance deficit for the full year against the CI. The quarter was significant in one respect that TAS believes will impact future returns. After considerable study and due diligence, TAS set in motion significant new allocations of capital — one to a newcomer to the fund’s manager roster, OVS Capital Management, and the other to a familiar name, Lansdowne Partners Limited Partnership. TAS executed the fresh allocations as of January 1, 2012 on the belief that these two managers have the demonstrated ability to identify stocks trading at attractive valuations, or securities that otherwise offer attractive risk/reward tradeoffs. Moreover, the new relationships were structured without lockups on MAF’s capital, which means we hope these accounts will consume little of the 15% of MAF’s capital that normally is allocated to so-called “illiquid” assets (i.e., those that cannot be disposed of in the ordinary course of business in seven days at approximately the price at which MAF carries them on its books).

Strategy Overview

The fund seeks to achieve a total return (price appreciation plus dividends and interest income) that, over a majority of market cycles, exceeds ination plus 5% per annum by employing a globally diversied portfolio. Such diversication is designed to constitute a hedge against catastrophic losses during times when the fund’s main engine of growth — its total return segment — may be misring. MAF’s asset mix is designed not to outperform the best-performing asset class in any given year but rather to produce satisfactory real returns over time periods appropriate to perpetual life charities. The fund rebalances segment weights in a

manner designed to exploit capital markets’ mean-reverting tendencies while being cognizant of trading costs. MAF generally maintains its desired alignment of exposures versus the CI by deploying equity futures, currency futures, Treasury futures, and swaps as needed. On occasion, the fund has used options as a hedging device when pricing is deemed attractive.

Outlook

MAF entered 2012 with asset segment weights tilted modestly away from global stocks and high yield bonds and modestly toward cash and other hedging assets, reecting TAS’s continuing view that the preservation of purchasing power and the maintenance of a substantially hedged portfolio is a prudent position for the fund given current market and economic conditions. However, TAS also entered 2012 with the view that pockets of opportunity exist for investors with sufficiently long time horizons. Where we can partner with talented investors to attempt to exploit such opportunities on MAF’s behalf, we will do so. To the extent we’re successful in allocating additional capital from MAF to external managers during 2012, we expect the roughly one-third of MAF’s portfolio that was invested in ination-linked bonds and Treasury bills at year-end 2011 to shrink.

We remind ourselves frequently of two facts that are fundamental to all we do: the future cannot be known, and many of MAF’s 421 members (as of December 31, 2011) have allocated substantial fractions of their endowed assets to the fund. These facts compel us to do our utmost to invest the fund’s capital in ways that balance the risks between the potential for short-term losses and the need to achieve long-term returns sufficient to help members preserve the purchasing power of their endowments across generations.

Fund holdings and sector weightings are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for complete holdings information. Current and future holdings are subject to risk. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

Performance data quoted represent past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 610-684-8200 or visiting www.tiff.org.

The fund invests in illiquid securities. The fund invests in non-US securities, which may entail political, economic, and currency risks different from those of US securities and may be issued by entities adhering to different accounting standards than those governing US issuers. Small capitalization stocks may entail different risks than larger capitalization stocks, including potentially lesser degrees of liquidity. The fund or certain of its money managers invest routinely and, at times, significantly in derivatives, certain of which are deemed by the SEC to be highly speculative. Short selling of securities may increase the potential for loss if the manager has difficulty covering a short position. Leverage may accelerate the velocity and magnitude of potential losses. The fund may invest in rated and unrated debt obligations of all investment grades, but not more than 20% may be invested in debt obligations rated below investment grade (i.e., having a rating lower than BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Baa by Moody’s) or unrated but deemed to be of similar quality. Bonds rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.”

Total return assumes dividend reinvestment. MAF’s annualized expense ratio for calendar year 2010, including the fees and expenses associated with investments in acquired funds, was 1.59% (a regulatory mandate requires the use in this report of the same expense ratio as that appearing in the latest fund prospectus). The annualized expense ratio presented here and in MAF’s prospectus is a restated expense ratio and shows an estimate of what the fund’s expenses would have been in 2010 had the fee schedule in the new Advisory Agreement approved by MAF members on May 23, 2011, and the new Money Manager Agreements with OVS Capital Management LLP (“OVS”) and Lansdowne Partners Limited Partnership been in effect during 2010. With respect to OVS, the restated expense ratio shows only the effect of the asset-based portion of the fee schedule but not the performance-based portion of the fee schedule. Excluding the acquired fund fees and expenses, the restated expense ratio would be 0.99%. The expense ratios will differ for 2011.

Commencement of operations was March 31, 1995.   The fund assesses entry and exit fees of 0.50%, expressed as a percentage of the purchase or redemption amount, which fees are retained by the fund. Total return before deductions of entry and exit fees assumes there were no purchases or redemptions during the period. Total return after deductions of entry and exit fees assumes a single purchase of shares at the beginning of the period and a single redemption of shares at the end of the period.

* The MSCI ACW (All Country World) IndexSM is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. MSCI ACW Index returns include reinvested dividends, gross of foreign withholding taxes through December 31, 2000 and net of foreign withholding taxes thereafter. Please note that this index is 100% stocks whereas MAF normally comprises multiple asset classes. Management considers the primary benchmark of the fund to be CPI + 5%. The MSCI ACW Index is presented as a benchmark for the fund solely to comply with SEC regulations. One cannot invest directly in an index.
** The CPI (Consumer Price Index — All Urban Consumers) is a widely recognized measure of US inflation, representing changes in the prices paid by consumers for a representative basket of goods and services. CPI + 5% per annum was selected as the primary benchmark for MAF because, in the opinion of TIP’s directors, it reflects the two-fold objectives of maintaining an endowment’s purchasing power (i.e., keeping pace with inflation) while complying with the 5% payout requirement to which most MAF members are subject.
*** At December 31, 2011, the Constructed Index comprised segment benchmarks at the following weights: 51% blended global stocks index; 6% Barclays Capital High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index; 5% Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return; 5% MSCI US REIT Index; 20% Barclays Capital US Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index; and 13% BofA Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index. Performance of the Constructed Index generated after June 30, 2009, is reduced by 20 basis points (or 0.20%) per annum, prorated monthly. This reduction reflects an estimate of the costs of investing in the Constructed Index’s segments through index funds or other instruments and is designed to facilitate a comparison of passive investment strategies to active portfolio management. (One cannot invest directly in an index and unmanaged indices do not incur fees and expenses.) The reported performance of the Constructed Index would increase in the absence of a 20 basis point reduction. The allocations, segment weights, and segment benchmarks of the Constructed Index have varied over time and the performance presented for the Constructed Index reflects the allocations, segment weights, and segment benchmarks that were in place at the time the performance was generated. The blended global stocks index is calculated by TAS and comprised of the MSCI World Index (W) and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EM), weighted as follows: EM is 1.5 times the percentage weight of emerging markets in the MSCI ACW Index; W weight is 100% – EM weight.

[GRAPHIC MISSING]

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

The fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and includes the effects of the current 0.50% entry and exit fees received by the fund, but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a member subject to tax would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Barclays Capital High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index.  The Barclays Capital High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index covers the US dollar-denominated, non-investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bond market. To be eligible for this index, bonds must also have at least one year to maturity and at least $150 million outstanding. This index limits issuer exposures to 2% of the total market value of the index, and any excess market value is redistributed to the issuers below the cap on a pro rata basis. The index is rebalanced monthly.

Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return.  The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return comprises exchange-traded futures contracts on 19 physical commodities. The index reflects the return on fully collateralized futures positions. Futures contracts are rolled prior to maturity. The index’s composition is based on contract liquidity and dollar-adjusted historical commodity production volumes adjusted as needed to limit exposure to any single commodity at an annual rebalancing date to a maximum of 15% and a minimum of 2%. Moreover, no related group of commodities (e.g., energy, precious metals, livestock or grains) may constitute more than one-third of the index’s weight at annual rebalancing dates.

MSCI US REIT Index.  MSCI US Reit Index is a free-float adjusted market capitalization-weighted index comprising investable equity real estate investment trusts (REITs), other than certain specialty equity REITs, and is designed to be a measure of real estate equity market performance. The index returns include reinvested dividends.

Barclays Capital US Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index.  Barclays Capital US Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index measures the performance of the US Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) market. The index includes TIPS with one or more years to maturity on the index rebalancing date (the last calendar day of each month) and total outstanding issue size of $500 million or more. Bonds must be capital-indexed and linked to an eligible inflation index. The bonds are denominated in US dollars and pay coupon and principal in US dollars. The notional coupon of a bond must be fixed or zero and the bond must settle on or before the monthly rebalancing date.

BofA Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index.  BofA Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index comprises a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. At the end of the month, that issue is sold and rolled into a newly selected issue. The issue selected at each month-end rebalancing is the outstanding Treasury bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, six months from the rebalancing date. To qualify for selection, an issue must have settled on or before the month-end rebalancing date. While the index will often hold the Treasury bill issued at the most recent or prior 6-month auction, it is also possible for a seasoned 6-month or 1-year bill to be selected. As of September 25, 2009, following an acquisition by Bank of America, the Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index was renamed the BofA Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index. The methodology is unchanged.

 Fund Expenses (unaudited)

As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including entry and exit fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as entry fees or exit fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.61% (calculated over a six-month period, which may differ from the fund’s actual expense ratio for the full year), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Excluding interest and dividend expense, expenses incurred by the fund were 0.55%. The expense ratios do not include the fees and expenses associated with investments made in acquired funds; such fees and expenses are reflected in the acquired funds’ total return.
** Interest expense is interest on reverse repurchase agreements (see Note 7); dividend expense is dividends paid on securities sold short.

Pro Forma Expense Information

As described in the section of this report entitled Approval of Money Manager Agreements with Lansdowne and OVS Capital, the TIP board approved new Money Manager Agreements with OVS Capital Management LLP (“OVS”) and Lansdowne Partners Limited Partnership at its December 12, 2011 meeting, effective as of January 1, 2012. Had the new money manager agreements been in place during the full six-month period, the annualized expense ratio including interest and dividend expense would have been 0.70% and the expenses paid under the actual and hypothetical scenarios would have been $3.44 and $3.57, respectively. Excluding interest and dividend expense, pro forma expenses incurred by the fund would have been 0.64% and the expenses paid under the actual and hypothetical scenarios would have been $3.14 and $3.26, respectively. These pro forma amounts show only the effect of the asset-based portion of OVS’s fee schedule but not the performance-based portion of the fee schedule. The expense ratios do not include the fees and expenses associated with investments made in commingled investment vehicles; such fees and expenses are reflected in the commingled investment vehicles’ total return.

(a) Calculation based on average shares outstanding.
(b) Total return assumes dividend reinvestment and includes the effects of entry and exit fees received by the fund; however, it does not reflect the deduction of such fees from a member’s purchase or redemption transaction. Therefore, a member’s total return for the period, assuming a purchase at the beginning of the period and a redemption at the end of the period, would be lower by the amount of entry and exit fees paid by the member.
(c) The expense ratio does not include the fees and expenses associated with investments made in acquired funds; such fees and expenses are reflected in the acquired funds’ total return.

* Approximately 24% of the fund’s total investments are maintained to cover “senior securities transactions” which may include, but are not limited to forwards, TBAs, options, and futures. These securities are marked-to-market daily and reviewed against the value of the fund’s “senior securities” holdings to maintain proper coverage for the transactions.
(a) Non income-producing security.
(b) Illiquid Security. An illiquid security is a security that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount the fund has valued such security for the purposes of calculating the fund’s net asset value.
(c) Security is valued in good faith under procedures established by the board of directors. The aggregate amount of securities fair valued amounts to $482,302,836, which represents 11.6% of the fund’s net assets.
(d) Restricted Securities. The following restricted securities were held by the fund as of December 31, 2011, and were valued in accordance with the Valuation of Investments as described in Note 2. Such securities generally may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction with a limited number of purchasers. The fund will bear any costs incurred in connection with the disposition of such securities. The fund monitors the acquisition of restricted securities and, to the extent that a restricted security is illiquid, will limit the purchase of such a restricted security, together with other illiquid securities held by the fund, to no more than 15% of the fund’s net assets. All of the below securities are illiquid, with the exception of Canyon Value Realization Fund, LP. TIP’s valuation committee has deemed 10% of Canyon Value Realization Fund, LP to be illiquid in accordance with procedures approved by the TIP board of directors. The below list does not include securities eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 that may also be deemed restricted.

TIFF Multi-Asset Fund / Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2011

1.  Organization

TIFF Investment Program, Inc. (“TIP”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on December 23, 1993, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. As of December 31, 2011, TIP consisted of three mutual funds. These financial statements and notes relate only to TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (“MAF” or the “fund”).

Investment Objective

MAF’s investment objective is to attain a growing stream of current income and appreciation of principal that at least offset inflation.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reported period, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Valuation of Investments

Generally, the following valuation policies are applied to securities for which market quotations are readily available. Securities listed on a securities exchange or traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers National Market System (“NASDAQ”) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their last quoted sales price on the principal exchange on which they are traded or at the NASDAQ official closing price, respectively, on the valuation date or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recently quoted bid price, or asked price in the case of securities sold short. Debt securities are valued at prices that reflect broker/dealer-supplied valuations or are obtained from independent pricing services, which consider such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are deemed representative of market values at the close of the market. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) stocks not quoted on NASDAQ and foreign stocks that are traded over the counter are normally valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services if those prices are deemed representative of market values at the close of the first session of the New York Stock Exchange. Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued at their market value. Exchange-traded and OTC options and futures contracts are valued at the last posted settlement price or, if there were no sales that day for a particular position, at the closing bid price (closing ask price in the case of open short futures and written option sales contracts). Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at their respective fair market values. Investments in other open-end funds or trusts are valued at their closing net asset value per share on valuation date, which represents their redeemable value.

The fund employs a fair value model to adjust prices to reflect events affecting the values of certain portfolio securities that occur between the close of trading on the principal market for such securities (foreign exchanges and OTC markets) and the time at which the net asset value of the fund is determined. If the fund’s valuation committee believes that a particular event would materially affect net asset value, further adjustment is considered.

MAF invests in private investment funds that pursue certain alternative investment strategies. Private investment fund interests held by MAF are generally not securities for which market quotations are readily available. Rather, such interests generally can be sold back to the private investment fund only at specified intervals or on specified dates. The TIP board of directors has approved valuation procedures pursuant to which MAF values its interests in private investment funds at “fair value.” If a private investment fund does not provide a value to MAF on a timely basis, MAF determines the fair value of that private investment fund based on the most recent estimated value provided by the management of the private investment fund, as well as any other relevant information reasonably available at the time MAF values its portfolio including, for example, total returns of indices or exchange-traded funds that track markets to which the private investment fund may be exposed. The fair values of the private investment funds are based on available information and do not necessarily represent the amounts that might ultimately be realized, which depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the investment is actually liquidated. Fair value is intended to represent a good faith approximation of the amount that MAF could reasonably expect to receive from the private investment fund if MAF’s interest in the private investment fund was sold at the time of valuation, based on information reasonably available at the time valuation is made and that MAF believes is reliable.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TIFF Multi-Asset Fund / Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2011

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which available prices are deemed unreliable are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by TIP’s board of directors. Such procedures use fundamental valuation methods, which may include, but are not limited to, the analysis of the effect of any restrictions on the resale of the security, industry analysis and trends, significant changes in the issuer’s financial position, and any other event which could have a significant impact on the value of the security. Determination of fair value involves subjective judgment as the actual market value of a particular security can be established only by negotiations between the parties in a sales transaction, and the difference between the recorded fair value and the value that would be received in a sale could be significant.

Fair value is defined as the price that a fund would receive upon selling an asset or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, respectively. A three-tier hierarchy is utilized to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities)

Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date on which the buy or sell order is executed) for financial reporting purposes. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The fund accretes discounts or amortizes premiums using the yield-to-maturity method on a daily basis, except for mortgage-backed securities that record paydowns. The fund recognizes paydown gains and losses for such securities and reflects them in investment income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities that are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the fund, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. The fund uses the specific identification method for determining realized gain or loss on sales of securities and foreign currency transactions.

Income Taxes

There is no provision for federal income or excise tax since the fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) and intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to RICs and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income. The fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned and gains are recognized.

The fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authorities. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as tax benefits or expenses in the current year. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2008 – December 31, 2011), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

Expenses

Expenses directly attributable to MAF are charged to the fund’s operations; expenses that are applicable to all TIP funds are allocated based on the relative average daily net assets of each TIP fund.

Dividends to Members

It is the fund’s policy to declare dividends from net investment income quarterly and distributions from capital gains annually.

37


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TIFF Multi-Asset Fund / Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2011

MAF has adopted a managed distribution policy that aims, on a best efforts basis, to distribute approximately 5% of the fund’s net assets in the form of dividends and distributions each year. Pursuant to this policy, the fund may make distributions that are ultimately characterized as returns of capital.

Dividends from net short-term capital gains and net long-term capital gains of the fund, if any, are normally declared and paid in December, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Code. To the extent that a net realized capital gain could be reduced by a capital loss carryover, such gain will not be distributed. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the fund are maintained in US dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars on the following basis:

(i) the foreign currency value of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date;
(ii) purchases and sales of investments, income, and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The resulting net unrealized foreign currency gain or loss is included in the Statement of Operations.

The fund does not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Accordingly, such foreign currency gain (loss) is included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. However, the fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign-currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to US federal income tax regulations; such an amount is categorized as foreign currency gain or loss for income tax reporting purposes.

Net realized gains and losses from foreign currency-related transactions represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the US dollar amount actually received.

Net Asset Value

The net asset value per share is calculated on a daily basis by dividing the fund’s assets, less its liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of the fund.

3.  Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments

MAF employs derivative strategies, such as futures, buying options, and swaps (including total return and credit default swaps). Derivatives are used for “hedging” when TIFF Advisory Services, Inc. (“TAS”) or a money manager seeks to protect the fund’s investments from a decline in value. Derivative strategies are also used when TAS or a money manager seeks to increase liquidity, implement a cash management strategy, invest in a particular stock, bond or segment of the market in a more efficient or less expensive way, modify the effective duration of the fund’s portfolio investments and/or for purposes of total return.

Cover for Strategies Using Derivative Instruments

Transactions using derivative instruments, including futures contracts, and swaps, expose a fund to an obligation to another party and may give rise to a form of leverage. It is the fund’s policy to segregate assets to cover derivative transactions that might be deemed to create leverage under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. In that regard, the fund will not enter into any such transactions unless it has covered such transactions by owning and segregating either (1) an offsetting (“covered”) position in securities, currencies, or other derivative instruments or (2) cash and/or liquid securities with a value sufficient at all times to cover its potential obligations to the extent not covered as provided in (1) above. When the fund is required to segregate cash or liquid securities, it will instruct its custodian as to which cash holdings or liquid assets are to be marked on the books of the fund or its custodian as segregated for purposes of Section 18 of the 1940 Act. The fund will monitor the amount of these segregated assets on a daily basis and will not enter into additional transactions that would require the segregation of cash or liquid securities unless the fund holds a sufficient amount of cash or liquid securities that can be segregated.

Financial Futures Contracts

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the fund accessed both long and short exposure to world markets via futures contracts on equity indices and foreign currencies. Additionally, the fund used short interest rate-related futures contracts to reduce the duration of its portfolio.

Futures contracts involve varying degrees of risk. Such risks include the imperfect correlation between the price of a derivative and that of the underlying security and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these securities. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

A financial futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities or other instrument at a set price for delivery at a future date. At the time a futures contract is purchased or sold, the fund must allocate cash or securities as a deposit payment (“initial margin”). An outstanding futures contract is valued daily, and the payment in cash of “variation margin” will be required, a process known as “marking to the market.” Each day the fund will be required to provide (or will be entitled to receive) variation margin in an amount equal to any decline (in the case of a long futures position) or increase (in the case of a short futures position) in the contract’s value since the preceding day. The daily variation margin is recorded as a receivable or payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded as net realized gain (loss) from financial futures contracts in the Statement of Operations, equal to the difference between the opening and closing values of the contracts.

US futures contracts have been designed by exchanges that have been designated as “contract markets” by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and such contracts must be executed through a futures commission merchant or brokerage firm that is a member of the relevant contract market. Futures contracts trade on a number of exchange markets, and through their clearing corporations the exchanges guarantee performance of the contracts as between the clearing members of the exchange, thereby reducing the risk of counterparty default. Securities designated as collateral for market value on futures contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.

Swap Contracts

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the fund used total return swap contracts to increase its exposure to emerging markets and reduce its exposure to global energy stocks. Rather than incurring the costs associated with reallocating fund assets to or away from money managers or purchasing additional equity securities, the use of total return swap contracts allowed TAS to strategically position the fund’s exposures relative to the MAF Constructed Index, while maintaining a cash liquidity buffer. In addition, the fund purchased protection via credit default swap contracts to reduce the fund’s overall credit exposure.

A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. The fund will generally enter into swap agreements on a net basis, which means that the two payment streams that are to be made by the fund and its counterparty are netted, with the fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net difference in the two payments. If the counterparty is obligated to pay the net amount to the fund, the fund is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty. If the fund is obligated to pay the net amount, the fund’s risk of loss is that net amount.

Upon entering into a swap agreement, the fund may be required to pledge to the swap counterparty an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to the total net amount (if any) that would be payable by the fund to the counterparty if the swap were terminated on the date in question, including any early termination payments. Likewise, the counterparty may be required to pledge cash or other assets to cover its obligations to the fund. However, the amount pledged may not always be equal to or more than the amount due to the other party. Therefore, if a counterparty defaults in its obligations to the fund, the amount pledged by the counterparty and available to the fund may not be sufficient to cover all the amounts due to the fund and the fund may sustain a loss.

The fund records a net receivable or payable for the amount expected to be received or paid in the period. Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. The swap is valued at fair market value as determined by valuation models developed and approved in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures.

Equity or Total Return Swaps.  An equity swap or total return swap is an agreement between two parties under which the parties agree to make payments to each other so as to replicate the economic consequences that would apply had a purchase or short sale of the underlying security taken place. For example, one party may agree to pay the other party the total return earned or realized on the notional amount of an underlying equity security and any dividends declared with respect to that

equity security. Similarly, such payments may be based on the performance of an index. In return, the other party would make payments, typically at a spread to a floating rate, calculated based on the notional amount.

Credit Default Swaps.  As a “buyer” of protection under a credit default swap agreement, the fund is obligated to pay the “seller” of protection a periodic stream of payments over the term of the agreement in return for a payment by the “seller” that is contingent upon the occurrence of a credit event with respect to an underlying reference debt obligation. Generally, a credit event means bankruptcy, failure to timely pay interest or principal, obligation acceleration, or modified restructuring of the reference debt obligation. The contingent payment by the seller generally is the face amount of the debt obligation in exchange for the physical delivery of the reference debt obligation or a cash payment equal to the then current market value of that debt obligation. If no credit event occurs, the seller would receive a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the contract, while the buyer would lose the amount of its payments and recover nothing. Each party is subject to the risk that the other party to the agreement will not meet its obligations, if and when due.

Options

During the year ended December 31, 2011, MAF used options contracts to gain exposure to an Egyptian equity security without investing directly through the local securities market.

Generally, an option is a contract that gives the purchaser of the option, in return for the premium paid, the right to buy a specified security, currency or other instrument (an “underlying instrument”) from the writer of the option (in the case of a call option), or to sell a specified security, currency, or other instrument to the writer of the option (in the case of a put option) at a designated price during the term of the option or at the expiration date of the option. Put and call options that the fund purchases may be traded on a national securities exchange or in the OTC market. All option positions entered into on a national securities exchange are cleared and guaranteed by the Options Clearing Corporation, thereby reducing the risk of counterparty default. There can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased.

As the buyer of a call option, the fund has a right to buy the underlying instrument (e.g., a security) at the exercise price at any time during the option period (for American style options) or at the expiration date (for European style options). The fund may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to call options, exercise them, or permit them to expire unexercised. As the buyer of a put option, the fund has the right to sell the underlying instrument at the exercise price at any time during the option period (for American style options) or at the expiration date (for European style options). Like a call option, the fund may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to put options, exercise them or permit them to expire unexercised. When buying options, the fund’s potential loss is limited to the cost (premium plus transaction costs) of the option.

Forward Currency Contracts

During the year ended December 31, 2011, MAF entered into forward currency contracts to manage the foreign currency exchange risk to which it is subject in the normal course of pursuing international investment objectives. The primary objective of such transactions is to protect (hedge) against a decrease in the US dollar equivalent value of its foreign securities or the payments thereon that may result from an adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates in advance of pending transaction settlements.

A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specific currency for another at a set price on a future date, which is individually negotiated and privately traded by currency traders and their customers in the interbank market. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward currency contracts are marked-to-market daily, and the change in value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. The fund may either exchange the currencies specified at the maturity of a forward contract or, prior to maturity, enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting forward contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward contracts are usually performed with the counterparty to the original forward contract. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the US dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in US dollars upon closing a contract is included in net realized gain (loss) from forward currency contracts on the Statement of Operations. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the US dollar.

Forward currency contracts held by the fund are fully collateralized by other securities, as disclosed in the accompanying Schedule of Investments. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value equals or exceeds the current market value of the corresponding forward currency contracts.

Short Selling

MAF sells securities and currencies it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of such securities or currencies, or in order to hedge portfolio positions. The fund generally will borrow the security or currency sold in order to make delivery to the buyer. Upon entering into a short position, the fund records the proceeds as deposits with broker for securities sold short in its Statement of Assets and Liabilities and establishes an offsetting liability for the securities or foreign currencies sold under the short sale agreement. The cash is retained by the fund’s broker as collateral for the short position. The liability is marked-to-market while it remains open to reflect the current settlement obligation. Until the security or currency is replaced, the fund is required to pay the lender any dividend or interest earned. Such payments are recorded as expenses to the fund. When a closing purchase is entered into by the fund, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds originally received and the purchase cost is recorded in the Statement of Operations.

In “short selling,” the fund sells borrowed securities or currencies which must at some date be repurchased and returned to the lender. If the market value of securities or currencies sold short increases, the fund may realize losses upon repurchase in amounts which may exceed the liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Further, in unusual circumstances, the fund may be unable to repurchase securities or currencies to close its short position except at prices significantly above those previously quoted in the market.

Interest Only Securities

The fund invests in interest only securities (IOs), which entitle the holder to the interest payments in a pool of mortgages, Treasury bonds, or other bonds. With respect to mortgage-backed IOs, if the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a portfolio may fail to recoup fully its initial investment in an IO. The fair market value of these securities is volatile in response to changes in interest rates.

Bank Loans

The fund invests in bank loans, which include institutionally-traded floating rate securities generally acquired as an assignment from another holder of, or participation interest in, loans originated by a bank or financial institution (the “Lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. When investing in a loan participation, the fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the Lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt by the Lender of payments from the borrower. The fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the Lender that is selling the loan agreement.

Derivative Disclosure

The following tables provide quantitative disclosure about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on the fund’s derivative instruments as of December 31, 2011. These derivatives are not accounted for as hedging instruments.

4.  Investment Advisory, Money Manager, and Other Agreements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates

TIP’s board of directors has approved an investment advisory agreement for the fund with TAS. The fund pays TAS a monthly fee calculated by applying the annual rates set forth below to the fund’s average daily net assets for the month:

   
Assets   Prior to
June 1, 2011
  Effective
June 1, 2011(a)
On the first $500 million     0.20 %      0.25 % 
On the next $500 million     0.18 %      0.25 % 
On the next $500 million     0.15 %      0.23 % 
On the next $500 million     0.13 %      0.23 % 
On the next $500 million     0.11 %      0.20 % 
On the next $500 million     0.09 %      0.20 % 
On the remainder (> $3 billion)     0.09 %      0.18 % 
(a) Effective June 1, 2011, the investment advisory agreement with TAS was amended to revise the fee schedule as reflected in the table above.

TIP’s board of directors has approved money manager agreements with each of the money managers. Certain money managers will receive annual management fees equal to a stated percentage of the value of fund assets under management that is adjusted upward or downward, usually proportionately, to reflect actual investment performance over the applicable time period relative to a chosen benchmark rate of return or is otherwise based on performance of the money manager’s portfolio. Other money managers will receive management fees equal to a specified percentage per annum of the assets under management with a single rate or on a descending scale. Money managers who provide services to the fund and their fees as a percent of assets managed during the year ended December 31, 2011 were as follows:

     
  Minimum   Maximum   Effective
Fee Rate
Aronson + Johnson + Ortiz LP (a)     0.10 %      0.50 %      0.17 % 
Brookfield Investment Management Inc. (a)(b)     0.50 %      2.50 %      0.77 % 
Marathon Asset Management, LLP (a)(c)     0.15 %            0.72 % 
Mission Value Partners, LLC (a)(d)     0.25 %      2.00 %      1.36 % 
Mondrian Investment Partners Limited (d)     0.30 %      0.43 %      0.32 % 
Shapiro Capital Management LLC (a)     0.50 %      0.95 %      0.46 % 
Smith Breeden Associates, Inc. (a)     0.10 %      0.85 %      0.40 % 
Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. (d)     1.00 %      1.00 %      1.00 % 
Wellington Management Company, LLP-High Yield (d)     0.35 %      0.45 %      0.43 % 
Wellington Management Company, LLP-Natural Resources (d)     0.35 %      0.45 %      0.39 % 
Westport Asset Management, Inc. (a)(e)     0.15 %      2.00 %      0.62 % 
(a) Money manager receives a fee that includes a performance component. The effective fee may fall outside of the minimum and maximum range, because performance fees are based on either assets or performance from a period prior to when they are accrued.
(b) Brookfield Investment Management Inc. (“BIM”) has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with AMP Capital Brookfield (US), LLC (“ACB US”) for the provision of certain services related to Multi-Asset Fund. BIM pays ACB US two-thirds of all fees BIM receives from Multi-Asset Fund.
(c) With respect to fund assets managed prior to October 31, 2008, Marathon’s fee is based on performance. Its fee formula with respect to such assets entails a floor of 15 basis points, a cap of 160 basis points, with the midpoint or “fulcrum fee” being 88 basis points. With respect to assets allocated to Marathon on or after October 31, 2008, which represented approximately one-third of the fund assets allocated to Marathon as of the end of the period, Marathon’s compensation entails an asset-based fee of 0.35% per year and a performance fee, pursuant to which Marathon will receive 20% of the amount by which the annualized return generated by the portfolio exceeds that of the MSCI ACW Index, measured over a rolling sixty-month period, multiplied by the average daily net asset value of such assets over the same sixty-month period.
(d) Money manager receives a fee that is based in whole or in part on assets under management, irrespective of performance. For money managers whose fees are based solely on assets under management, the minimum and maximum reflect the last level and the first level, respectively, of the asset-based fee on a fee schedule that includes breakpoints. For Mission Value Partners, whose fee also includes a performance component, the minimum reflects the last level of the asset based fee on a fee schedule that includes breakpoints (the first level on such fee schedule is 1.00%) and the maximum reflects the impact of the performance component of the fee schedule.
(e) Westport Asset Management, Inc. ceased managing assets for MAF as of November 10, 2011.

With respect to MAF’s investments in other registered investment companies, private investment funds, exchange-traded funds, and other acquired funds, MAF bears its ratable share of each such entity’s expenses and would also be subject to its share of the management and performance fees, if any, charged by such entity. MAF’s share of management and performance fees charged by such entities is in addition to fees paid by MAF to TAS and money managers.

TIP has designated an employee of TAS as its Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). For these services provided to TIP, which include the monitoring of TIP’s compliance program pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act, TIP reimburses TAS. MAF pays a pro rata portion of such costs based on its share of TIP’s net assets.

Pursuant to a series of agreements, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) earns a fee for providing core fund administration, fund accounting, domestic custody, and transfer agent services. Fees paid for non-core services rendered by State Street include, but are not limited to, foreign custody and transactional fees, which are based upon assets of the fund and/or on transactions entered into by the fund during the period, and out-of-pocket expenses. Fees for such services paid to State Street by the fund are reflected as fund administration fees on the Statement of Operations.

TAS provides certain administrative services to the fund under a Services Agreement. For these services, the fund pays a monthly fee calculated by applying an annual rate of 0.02% to the fund’s average daily net assets for the month. Fees for such services paid to TAS by the fund are reflected as administrative fees on the Statement of Operations.

5.  Investment Transactions

Cost of investment securities purchased and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, during the year ended December 31, 2011 were as follows:

   
  Purchases   Sales
Non-US Government Securities   $ 1,178,139,878     $ 1,066,871,442  
US Government Securities   $ 189,676,794     $ 204,641,708  

6.  Federal Tax Information

For federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investment securities, other than proceeds from securities sold short, at December 31, 2011, are as follows:

     
Gross Unrealized
Appreciation
  Gross Unrealized
Depreciation
  Net Unrealized
Appreciation/
(Depreciation)
  Cost
$450,679,123   $ (392,231,580 )    $ 58,447,543     $ 4,284,167,299  

The difference between the tax cost of investments and the cost of investments for US GAAP purposes is primarily due to the tax treatment of wash sale losses, income/losses from underlying partnerships, distributions from real estate investment trusts, and marked-to-market of investments in passive foreign investment companies.

Dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital account based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the fund made the following reclassifications primarily due to foreign currency gains/(losses), swap gains/(losses), and the tax treatment of investments in real estate investment trusts, passive foreign investment companies, investment partnerships, and regulated investment companies:

(a) Includes unrealized appreciation on investments, short sales, derivatives, and foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, if any.
(b) Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), the fund is permitted to carry forward any new capital losses for an unlimited period. Additionally, such capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than considered short-term under previous law.

MAF did not carryover any capital losses incurred prior to the Act, and the fund did not incur additional capital losses subject to the Act.

In addition, the fund can elect to defer qualified late year losses incurred after October 31, 2011 but before December 31, 2011, which are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following year. Accordingly, MAF elected to defer qualified late year losses of $5,865,834.

The amount and character of tax basis distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, are detailed below. Certain differences exist from the amounts reflected in the fund’s Statements of Changes in Net Assets primarily due to the character of foreign currency gains/(losses) and net short-term capital gains treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.

7.  Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The fund may enter into repurchase agreements under which a member bank of the Federal Reserve System or a securities firm that is a primary or reporting dealer in US government securities agrees, upon entering into a contract, to sell US government securities to the fund and repurchase such securities from the fund at a mutually agreed upon price and date.

The fund is also permitted to enter into reverse repurchase agreements under which a member bank of the Federal Reserve System or a primary or reporting dealer in US government securities purchases US government securities from the fund and the fund agrees to repurchase the securities at an agreed upon price and date. The difference between the amount the fund receives for the securities and the additional amount it pays on repurchase is deemed to be a payment of interest. Open reverse repurchase agreements at December 31, 2011 were as follows:

 
Description   Face Value
Barclays plc, 0.27%, dated 12/20/2011, to be repurchased on 1/3/2012 at $118,908,655   $ 118,896,171  

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the average balance outstanding was $113,631,589 and the average interest rate was 0.22%.

The fund will engage in repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions with parties approved by TAS or the relevant money manager on the basis of such party’s creditworthiness. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the custodial bank until maturity of the repurchase agreements. In connection with reverse repurchase agreements, the fund established a segregated account with its custodian in which the fund maintains cash, US government securities, or other liquid high grade debt obligations in the name of the counterparty equal in value to the fund’s obligation. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and the procedures adopted by the fund require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, be at least equal to the value of the securities sold or purchased in order to protect against loss in the event of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.

8.  Capital Share Transactions

While there are no sales commissions (loads) or 12b-1 fees, MAF assesses entry and exit fees of 0.50% of capital invested or redeemed. These fees, which are paid to the fund directly, not to TAS or other vendors supplying services to the fund, are designed to allocate transaction costs associated with purchases and redemptions of the fund shares to the members actually making such transactions, rather than the fund’s other members. These fees are deducted from the amount invested or redeemed; they cannot be paid separately. Entry and exit fees may be waived at TAS’s discretion when the purchase or redemption will not result in significant transaction costs for the fund (e.g., for transactions involving in-kind purchases and redemptions). Such fees are retained by the fund and included in proceeds from shares sold or deducted from distributions for redemptions.

9.  Delayed Delivery Transactions

The fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The fund identifies these securities in its records as segregated with a value at least equal to the amount of the purchase commitment.

The fund enters into “TBA” (to be announced) purchase commitments to purchase mortgage-backed securities for a fixed unit price at a future date beyond customary settlement time. Although the unit price has been established, the principal value has not been finalized. However, the principal amount delivered will not differ more than 0.01% from the commitment. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities in themselves and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date, which risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the fund’s other assets. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Although the fund will generally enter into TBA purchase commitments with the intention of acquiring securities for its portfolio, the fund may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if the respective money manager deems it appropriate to do so.

The fund enters into TBA sale commitments to hedge the portfolio or to sell mortgage-backed securities the fund owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment (deliverable on or before the sale commitment date), are held as “cover” for the transaction.

TBA commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under Valuation of Investments in Note 2. The contracts are marked-to-market daily, and the change in market value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the fund realizes a gain or loss on the commitment without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security. If the fund delivers securities under the commitment, the fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the securities upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.

10.  Concentration of Risks

MAF engages in transactions with counterparties, including but not limited to repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, forward contracts, futures and options, and total return, credit default, interest rate, and currency swaps. The fund may be subject to various delays and risks of loss if a counterparty becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its obligations.

MAF invests in private investment funds that entail liquidity risk to the extent they are difficult to sell or convert to cash quickly at favorable prices.

The fund invests in fixed income securities issued by banks and other financial companies, the market values of which may change in response to interest rate fluctuations. Although the fund generally maintains a diversified portfolio, the ability of the issuers of the fund’s portfolio securities to meet their obligations may be affected by changing business and economic conditions in a specific industry, state, or region.

The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States, a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.

The fund invests in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities. These investments may involve credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic conditions.

11.  Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

12.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in the ASU will improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and include new guidance for certain fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.

13.  Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events and has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure in the fund’s financial statements.

TIFF Investment Program, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (one of the series constituting TIP Investment Program, Inc.)

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TIFF Multi-Asset Fund at December 31, 2011, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Approval of New Money Manager Agreement with Mondrian (Unaudited)

During an in-person meeting held on July 18, 2011, the board of directors of TIFF Investment Program, Inc. (“TIP”), all of whom are not “interested persons” of TIP (the “board” or the “directors”), as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), evaluated and approved a new money manager agreement for TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (“MAF”) with Mondrian Investment Partners Limited (“Mondrian”), effective as of July 18, 2011. The board was asked to approve the new money manager agreement because, as a result of a change of control of Mondrian in July 2011, Mondrian’s money manager agreement with MAF terminated as a matter of law and it was necessary to enter into a new agreement in order to allow Mondrian to continue providing services to MAF.

In considering the new money manager agreement with Mondrian, the board requested and received information from Mondrian in advance of the meeting, which information the board reviewed separately in executive session with its independent counsel. The materials provided included information regarding Mondrian’s personnel, investment strategy and philosophy, portfolio management, fees and expenses, and performance. Information about brokerage and commission practices was also supplied, including allocation methodologies, commission rates, best execution, and soft dollar programs. Extensive information with respect to compliance, administration, and risk management was supplied, such as information on Mondrian’s compliance programs, including its code of ethics and business continuity procedures, as well as information concerning any material violations of such programs, chief compliance officer background, disclosure about regulatory examinations or other inquiries, and confirmation that there were no litigation proceedings affecting Mondrian. The board also requested detailed information regarding Mondrian’s financial condition and its financial viability following the change in control.

In addition, the board considered (1) a memorandum from Mondrian’s outside counsel explaining the change in control of Mondrian and the resulting assignment of the money manager agreements; (2) Mondrian’s Money Manager Profile, detailing the individual portfolio managers responsible for MAF and the fee schedule; and (3) responses by Mondrian to a questionnaire prepared by the board’s independent counsel requesting information necessary for the board to evaluate the new money manager agreement. The board took into account the fact that it had recently reviewed comprehensive materials provided by Mondrian in connection with the board’s annual approval of MAF’s advisory and money manager agreements, which took place on June 15 – 16, 2011, at which time the board approved the previous money manager agreement between MAF and Mondrian.

The board based its evaluation of the new money manager agreement on the material factors presented to it at the meeting, including (1) the terms of the agreement; (2) the reasonableness of Mondrian’s fee schedule in light of the nature and quality of the services provided and any additional benefits received by Mondrian in connection with providing services to MAF; (3) the nature, quality, and extent of the services performed by Mondrian; (4) the fees charged by Mondrian to the MAF and other similar clients; and (5) the overall organization and experience of Mondrian. In reaching its conclusion to approve the new money manager agreement, the board did not single out any one factor or group of factors as being more important than the other factors, but considered all of these factors together with a view toward past and future long-term considerations.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services

The board considered a number of factors in evaluating Mondrian. It noted that it receives information at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by Mondrian, as well as MAF’s performance, expense, and compliance information. It also noted that it receives information between regular meetings as the need arises. The board’s evaluation of the services provided by Mondrian took into account the board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as board members. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of services provided under the previous money manager agreement for MAF, noting that the same or a similar level of services was expected to be provided under the new money manager agreement.

Investment Performance

The board reviewed the performance of the Mondrian-advised portion of MAF versus its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index, for the one-, three-, and five-year, and since-inception periods ended March 31, 2011. Mondrian’s performance exceeded that of the benchmark for the since-inception period, but underperformed the benchmark for the one-, three-, and five-year periods. The board noted that Mondrian’s performance was generally in-line with expectations given the market environment and Mondrian’s investment style. Overall, the board was satisfied with the performance of the assets managed by Mondrian for MAF.

Profitability

The board did not specifically consider the profitability of Mondrian resulting from its relationship with MAF because Mondrian is not affiliated with TIFF Advisory Services, Inc. (“TAS”) or TIP except by virtue of serving as a money manager, and the fees to be paid to Mondrian were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis in a competitive marketplace.

Fees and Expenses (including Potential Economies of Scale)

The board noted that it had reviewed Mondrian’s advisory fees as a part of MAF’s fees and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 during its annual review of MAF’s advisory and money manager agreements in June 2011. The board noted that Mondrian’s fee schedule under the previous and new money manager agreement includes breakpoints that enable MAF to benefit from economies of scale at MAF’s current asset levels. The board concluded that the advisory fees paid by MAF to Mondrian were reasonable in light of the quality and nature of services provided and expected to be provided under the new money manager agreement.

In its deliberations with respect to the new money manager agreement, the board was advised by its independent legal counsel and weighed the matters before it in light of the advice provided by such counsel as to the law applicable to the review of investment advisory contracts. After consideration of the proposal and all factors deemed relevant, the board concluded that the new money manager agreement was reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of MAF and its members, and that the fees provided in the new money manager agreement were fair and reasonable. Therefore, the board unanimously voted to approve the new money manager agreement for MAF.

Approval of Money Manager Agreements with Lansdowne and OVS Capital (Unaudited)

During an in-person meeting held on December 12, 2011, the TIP board evaluated and approved money manager agreements for MAF with new money managers Lansdowne Partners Limited Partnership (“Lansdowne”) and OVS Capital Management LLP (“OVS Capital”), effective as of January 1, 2012.

In considering the money manager agreements with Lansdowne and OVS Capital for MAF, the board requested and considered a wide range of information from TAS, Lansdowne, and OVS Capital in advance of the meeting. The board considered information regarding Lansdowne’s and OVS Capital’s personnel and services, investment strategies and philosophies, portfolio management, potential portfolio holdings, and fees and expenses. The board also considered the performance of other investment companies and accounts, as applicable, that had been managed by Lansdowne’s and OVS Capital’s investment professionals. Information about Lansdowne’s and OVS Capital’s proposed brokerage practices was also provided, including proposed allocation methodologies, best execution policies, and, with respect to Lansdowne, soft dollar program. It was noted that OVS Capital had no soft dollar arrangements in place at the time of the board meeting. In addition, the board considered information with respect to compliance and administration at each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital, including their codes of ethics and business continuity procedures, as well as information concerning any material violations of such compliance programs, the background of the individuals serving as chief compliance officers, and disclosure about regulatory examinations or other inquiries and litigation proceedings affecting each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital, as applicable. It was noted that OVS Capital was a newly-formed organization and, while each of its principals had extensive experience in investment management, the firm had a limited operating history. It was also noted that, because MAF had an existing investment in a private fund managed by Lansdowne, TAS was already familiar with Lansdowne. The board also considered a memorandum from its independent counsel setting forth the board’s fiduciary duties and responsibilities under the 1940 Act and the factors the board should consider in its evaluation of the money manager agreements; Lansdowne’s and OVS Capital’s responses to a questionnaire prepared by the directors’ independent counsel requesting information necessary for the directors’ evaluation of the money manager agreements; and responses to additional questions posed by the board regarding expected investment opportunities and strategies, performance benchmarks, Lansdowne’s and OVS Capital’s investment professionals, “key man” risk, and the proposed fee schedules of each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital.

The board considered a number of additional factors in evaluating the money manager agreements with each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital on behalf of MAF. The board considered information describing the addition of each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital to MAF; the advisory services each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital was expected to provide to MAF; the potential benefits of including each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital as a money manager to MAF; and other information deemed relevant. The potential benefits of adding each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital as a money manager of MAF were identified as: (i) investment philosophies and disciplined security selection processes; (ii) active management styles; (iii) with respect to Lansdowne, TIFF’s familiarity with the investment strategies employed to meet the proposed investment objective; (iv) with respect to OVS Capital, potential future benefits to MAF as a result of TAS staff deepening its understanding of the unique investment strategies employed by OVS Capital; (v) alignment of interests; and (vi) performance records achieved by other funds or accounts managed by each of Lansdowne’s and OVS Capital’s investment professionals and their reputations in the industry. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the services expected to be provided under the money manager agreements with each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital. The board did not specifically consider the profitability of Lansdowne and OVS Capital expected to result from their relationships with MAF because Lansdowne and OVS Capital are not affiliated with TAS or TIP except by virtue of serving as a money manager (noting, however, with respect to Lansdowne, the ownership by MAF and certain other funds bearing the TIFF name of other investment vehicles managed by Lansdowne), and the fees to be paid to Lansdowne and OVS Capital were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis in a competitive marketplace.

The board based its evaluation on the material factors presented to it at the December 12, 2011 meeting and discussed above, including: (i) the terms of the agreements; (ii) the reasonableness of each money manager’s fees in light of the nature and quality of the services to be provided and any additional benefits to be received by each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital in connection with providing services to MAF; (iii) the nature, quality, and extent of the services expected to be performed by Lansdowne and OVS Capital; and (iv) the nature and expected effects of adding each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital as money managers of MAF. The board noted in particular the experience of Lansdowne’s and OVS Capital’s investment personnel and, with respect to OVS Capital, their contributions to investment management firms with which they were previously affiliated. While OVS Capital had a limited performance history as an investment adviser, the board concluded that the experience and performance of OVS Capital’s investment and other staff were satisfactory. Additionally, the board noted that the proposed fee schedule for OVS Capital provided for a performance-adjusted compensation arrangement in keeping with MAF’s performance goals, while the proposed fee schedule for Lansdowne did not include a performance-adjustment component. Although neither

Lansdowne’s fee schedule nor the asset-based portion of OVS Capital’s fee schedule included breakpoints that could enable MAF to benefit from economies of scale, Lansdowne’s fee schedule was consistent with the fee schedule that it offered to other clients with separately managed accounts having an investment mandate substantially similar to that of MAF; and OVS Capital’s fee schedule closely paralleled the terms that OVS Capital offered to the initial investors in its commingled fund.

In arriving at its decision to approve the money manager agreements with each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital, the board did not single out any one factor or group of factors as being more important than the other factors, but considered all of these factors together with a view toward future long-term considerations.

After carefully considering the information summarized above and all factors deemed to be relevant, the board unanimously voted to approve the money manager agreements with each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital for MAF. Prior to a vote being taken, the board met separately in executive session to discuss the appropriateness of the agreements and other considerations. In their deliberations with respect to these matters, the directors were advised by their independent legal counsel. The directors weighed the foregoing matters in light of the advice given to them by their independent legal counsel as to the law applicable to the review of the investment advisory contracts. The directors concluded that the money manager agreements with each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital were reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of MAF and its members, and that the fees provided in such agreements were fair and reasonable. In the board’s view, approving the money manager agreements with each of Lansdowne and OVS Capital was desirable and in the best interests of MAF and its members.

TIFF Short-Term Fund
December 31, 2011
 Portfolio Management Review (unaudited)

Performance Review

TIFF Short-Term Fund (STF) returns were flat at 0.00% for the year ended December 31, 2011. For the same period, the fund’s performance benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index, returned +0.27%. Thus, STF trailed its benchmark by 0.27%. For complete, annualized performance data, see the table on the following page. As noted on page 57, we also compare STF’s results to the same benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index, debited by 0.50% per annum. Why 0.50%? Because it generally costs an estimated 0.50% per annum to rebalance the fund’s holdings to keep duration, or interest rate sensitivity, in line with the duration of the index. Importantly, while staff maintains STF’s duration at approximately six months, it has the discretion to “roll” holdings not precisely when the benchmark’s constituent securities “roll” but a bit more opportunistically,

taking anticipated trading costs and cash on hand plus other variables into account.

Strategy Overview

As it seeks to track closely, gross of fees and expenses, the BofA Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index, the fund invests almost exclusively in US Treasury bills. Very small fractions of STF’s capital not susceptible to investment in T-bills for administrative reasons get invested routinely in income-generating repurchase agreement transactions fully collateralized by US Treasury obligations, with such holdings constituting customarily less than 2% of STF’s net assets.

Outlook

With short-term US Treasury debt currently yielding less than 0.1%, STF is unlikely to produce plump returns anytime soon — regardless of how skillfully staff stewards the fund’s capital.

Fund holdings and sector weightings are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for complete holdings information. Current and future holdings are subject to risk. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

Performance data quoted represent past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 610-684-8200 or visiting www.tiff.org.

Prior to July 2004, the fund employed a different investment approach and manager than those currently employed. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise although the risk is less for short-term debt securities than long-term debt securities.

Total return assumes dividend reinvestment. STF’s expense ratio for calendar year 2010 is 0.16% (a regulatory mandate requires the use in this report of the same expense ratios as those in the latest fund prospectus). The expense ratio will differ for 2011.

Commencement of operations was May 31, 1994.

* The BofA Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index comprises a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. At the end of the month, that issue is sold and rolled into a newly selected issue. The issue selected at each month-end rebalancing is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, six months from the rebalancing date. To qualify for selection, an issue must have settled on or before the month-end rebalancing date. While the index will often hold the Treasury Bill issued at the most recent or prior 6-month auction, it is also possible for a seasoned 6-month or 1-year Bill to be selected. One cannot invest directly in an index.

Note: Performance data for periods prior to 2005 reflects an expense waiver. Without the expense waiver, total returns would have been lower for those periods.

 Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

* Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.19% (calculated over a six-month period, which may differ from the fund’s actual expense ratio for the full year), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TIFF Short-Term Fund / Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2011

1.  Organization

TIFF Investment Program, Inc. (“TIP”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on December 23, 1993, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. As of December 31, 2011, TIP consisted of three mutual funds. These financial statements and notes relate only to TIFF Short-Term Fund (“STF” or the “fund”).

Investment Objective

STF’s investment objective is to attain as high a rate of current income as is consistent with ensuring that the fund’s risk of principal loss does not exceed that of a portfolio invested in six-month US Treasury bills.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reported period, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Valuation of Investments

Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued at their market value.

Fair value is defined as the price that a fund would receive upon selling an asset or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, respectively. A three-tier hierarchy is utilized to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities)

As of December 31, 2011 all of the fund’s investments were valued at Level 1.

The fund recognizes transfers into and transfers out of the valuation levels at the beginning of the reporting period. The fund had no transfers in or out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date on which the buy or sell order is executed) for financial reporting purposes. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The fund accretes discounts or amortizes premiums using the yield-to-maturity method on a daily basis.

Income Taxes

There is no provision for federal income or excise tax since the fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) and intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to RICs and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income.

The fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authorities. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as tax benefits or expenses in the current year. Management

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TIFF Short-Term Fund / Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2011

has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2008 – December 31, 2011), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

Expenses

Expenses directly attributable to STF are charged to that fund’s operations; expenses that are applicable to all TIP funds are allocated among them based on the relative average daily net assets of each TIP fund.

Dividends to Members

It is the fund’s policy to declare dividends from net investment income monthly and distributions from capital gains annually.

Dividends from net short-term capital gains and net long-term capital gains of the fund, if any, are normally declared and paid in December, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Code. To the extent that a net realized capital gain could be reduced by a capital loss carryover, such gain will not be distributed. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Net Asset Value

The net asset value per share is calculated on a daily basis by dividing the fund’s assets, less its liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of the fund.

3.  Investment Advisory and Other Agreements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates

TIP’s board of directors has approved an investment advisory agreement for the fund with TAS. The fund pays TAS a monthly fee calculated by applying the annual rates set forth below to the fund’s average daily net assets for the month:

 
Assets
On the first $1 billion     0.03 % 
On the next $1 billion     0.02 % 
On the remainder (> $2 billion)     0.01 % 

TIP has designated an employee of TAS as its Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). For these services provided to TIP, which include the monitoring of TIP’s compliance program pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act, TIP reimburses TAS. STF pays a pro rata portion of such costs based on its share of TIP’s net assets.

Pursuant to a series of agreements, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) earns a fee for providing core fund administration, fund accounting, domestic custody, and transfer agent services. Fees paid for non-core services rendered by State Street include, but are not limited to, transactions entered into by the fund during the period, and out-of-pocket expenses. Fees for such services paid to State Street by the fund are reflected as fund administration fees on the Statement of Operations.

TAS provides certain administrative services to TIP under a Services Agreement. For these services, the fund pays a monthly fee calculated by applying an annual rate of 0.01% to the fund’s average daily net assets for the month. Fees for such services paid to TAS by the fund are reflected as administrative fees on the Statement of Operations.

4.  Federal Tax Information

For federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investment securities, at December 31, 2011, are as follows:

     
Gross
Unrealized
Appreciation
  Gross Unrealized
Depreciation
  Net Unrealized
Appreciation/
(Depreciation)
  Cost
$3,930   $ (3,107 )    $ 823     $ 159,195,912  

Dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital account based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TIFF Short-Term Fund / Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2011

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the fund made the following reclassifications primarily due to the tax treatment of net operating loss:

   
Undistributed/
(Distribution in Excess of)
Net Investment Income
  Accumulated
Realized
Gain/(Losses)
  Paid in
Capital
$101,250   $     $ (101,250 ) 

At December 31, 2011, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis detailed below, also reflected in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, are largely arising from capital loss carryovers.

     
Undistributed
(Distribution in Excess of)
Ordinary Income
  Undistributed
Capital Gains
  (Accumulated
Capital and
Other Losses)
  Unrealized
Appreciation/
(Depreciation)
$—   $     $ (224,926 )(a)    $ 823  
(a) Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), the fund is permitted to carry forward any new capital losses for an unlimited period. Additionally, such capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered short-term under previous law.

Prior to the Act, STF incurred capital loss carryovers of $224,926, which will retain their character as short-term losses until they expire on December 31, 2014. The fund did not incur additional capital losses subject to the Act.

The amount and tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, are detailed below. Certain differences exist from the amounts reflected in the fund’s Statements of Changes in Net Assets primarily due to the character of net short-term capital gains treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.

$—   $     $     $ 60,704     $     $ 60,704  

5.  Repurchase Agreements

The fund may enter into repurchase agreements under which a member bank of the Federal Reserve System or a securities firm that is a primary or reporting dealer in US government securities agrees, upon entering into a contract, to sell US government securities to the fund and repurchase such securities from the fund at a mutually agreed upon price and date.

The fund will engage in repurchase transactions with parties approved by TAS on the basis of such party’s creditworthiness. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the custodial bank until maturity of the repurchase agreements. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and the procedures adopted by the fund require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, be at least equal to the repurchase price in order to protect against loss in the event of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.

6.  Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

7.  Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in the ASU will improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and include new guidance for certain fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
TIFF Investment Program, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of TIFF Short-Term Fund (one of the series constituting TIP Investment Program, Inc.) (the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TIFF Short-Term Fund at December 31, 2011, the results of its operations and its flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 Portfolio Management Review (unaudited)

Performance Review

TIFF International Equity Fund (IEF), which was launched on May 31, 1994, began winding down its affairs at the end of 2011 following the implementation of a coordinated redemption by IEF members on November 28, 2011. The decision to close the fund was taken because demand within TIFF’s member base for the type of specialized equity exposure offered by IEF had dwindled as interest in more comprehensive investment vehicles grew. The year 2011 was a difficult one for global stocks. IEF declined by more than 14% for the year (net of expenses), compared with a decline in IEF’s benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index ex US (ACW ex US), of 13.71% over the same period. For complete, annualized performance data, see the table on the following page.

During 2011, IEF was buffeted as developed and emerging markets reacted to the debt crisis that swept through Europe in a series of challenges to smaller economies, including Greece, as well as

larger ones, including Italy. Uncertainty over the direction of the Chinese economy also cast doubt on prospects for global growth. In addition, markets faced challenges from the earthquake and tsunami in Japan to the downgrade of US government debt and popular revolts across North Africa and the Middle East that triggered spikes in oil prices. The persistent lack of clarity on the future of the euro and on the trajectory of world economic growth produced a highly volatile market environment for equities, particularly non-US stocks.

Over its 17-year life, IEF weathered these and other market gyrations to produce an annualized total return of 5.76%, or 1.16% more than its benchmark index, as of November 28, 2011 (net of expenses and entry and exit fees). A member that invested $1 million at inception (while reinvesting dividends and capital gains) and stayed the course would have ended up on the coordinated redemption date with $2,670,600, net of all fees — or $471,700 more than the return of the ACW ex US over the same period.

Performance data quoted represent past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 610-684-8200 or visiting www.tiff.org.

The fund invests in illiquid securities. The fund invests in non-US securities, which may entail political, economic, and currency risks different from those of US securities and may be issued by entities adhering to different accounting standards than those governing US issuers. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Small capitalization stocks may entail different risks than larger capitalization stocks, including potentially lesser degrees of liquidity. The fund or certain of its money managers may invest routinely and, at times, significantly in derivatives, certain of which are deemed by the SEC to be highly speculative.

  
  
  
  
  
  

Fund holdings and sector weightings are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for complete holdings information. Current and future holdings are subject to risk. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

Total return assumes dividend reinvestment. IEF’s annualized expense ratio for calendar year 2010, including the fees and expenses associated with investments in acquired funds, was 1.60% (a regulatory mandate requires the use in this report of the same expense ratios as those in the latest fund prospectus). Excluding the acquired fund fees and expenses, the expense ratio was 0.88%. The expense ratios will differ for 2011.

Commencement of operations was May 31, 1994. The fund assesses entry and exit fees of 0.75%, expressed as a percentage of the purchase or redemption amount, which fees are retained by the fund. Total return before deductions of entry and exit fees assumes there were no purchases or redemptions during the period. Total return after deductions of entry and exit fees assumes a single purchase of shares at the beginning of the period and a single redemption of shares at the end of the period.

* The MSCI ACW (All Country World) Index ex USSM is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets excluding the United States. MSCI ACW Index ex US returns include reinvested dividends, gross of foreign withholding taxes through December 31, 2000 and net of foreign withholding taxes thereafter. One cannot invest directly in an index.

Note: For 2004 and 2005, performance data reflects an expense waiver. Without the expense waiver, total returns would have been lower for the period.

Performance of a $1,000,000 Investment (unaudited)
Ten-year period ended 12/31/11

[GRAPHIC MISSING]

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

The fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and includes the effects of 0.75% entry and exit fees received by the fund, but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a member subject to tax would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TIFF International Equity Fund

Fund Expenses (unaudited)
 

As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including entry and exit fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as entry fees or exit fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

2) Hypothetical   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,020.37     $ 4.89  
* Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.96% (calculated over a six-month period, which may differ from the fund’s actual expense ratio for the full year), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The expense ratio does not include the fees and expenses associated with investments made in acquired funds; such fees and expenses are reflected in the acquired funds’ total return.

(b) Rounds to less than $0.01.
(c) Total return assumes dividend reinvestment and includes the effects of entry and exit fees received by the fund; however, it does not reflect the deduction of such fees from a member’s purchase or redemption transaction. Therefore, a member’s total return for the period, assuming a purchase at the beginning of the period and a redemption at the end of the period, would be lower by the amount of entry and exit fees paid by the member. For certain periods, total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived.
(d) The expense ratio does not include the fees and expenses associated with investments made in acquired funds; such fees and expenses are reflected in the acquired funds’ total return.

TIFF International Equity Fund / Notes to Financial Statements

(In Liquidation)

1.  Organization

TIFF Investment Program, Inc. (“TIP”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on December 23, 1993, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. As of December 31, 2011, TIP consisted of three mutual funds. These financial statements and notes relate only to TIFF International Equity Fund (“IEF” or the “fund”).

Investment Objective

IEF’s investment objective was to attain appreciation of principal that at least offsets inflation.

In Liquidation

On August 29, 2011, TIP’s board of directors approved a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution that provided for the final liquidation of IEF. Such plan was subsequently approved by IEF’s shareholders. The liquidation was completed shortly after December 31, 2011 and the fund is no longer available. Accordingly, the fund’s financial statements have been prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The adoption of liquidation basis accounting did not impact the carrying amount of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2011. Provisions have been made for substantially all costs to be incurred in connection with the management and liquidation of the fund.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reported period, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Valuation of Investments

Generally, the following valuation policies are applied to securities for which market quotations are readily available. Securities listed on a securities exchange or traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers National Market System (“NASDAQ”) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their last quoted sales price on the principal exchange on which they are traded or at the NASDAQ official closing price, respectively, on the valuation date or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recently quoted bid price, or asked price in the case of securities sold short. Debt securities are valued at prices that reflect broker/dealer-supplied valuations or are obtained from independent pricing services, which consider such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are deemed representative of market values at the close of the market. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) stocks not quoted on NASDAQ and foreign stocks that are traded over the counter are normally valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services if those prices are deemed representative of market values at the close of the first session of the New York Stock Exchange. Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued at their market value. Exchange-traded and OTC options and futures contracts are valued at the last posted settlement price or, if there were no sales that day for a particular position, at the closing bid price (closing ask price in the case of open short futures and written option sales contracts). Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at their respective fair market values. Investments in other open-end funds or trusts are valued at their closing net asset value per share on valuation date, which represents their redeemable value.

The fund employs a fair value model to adjust prices to reflect events affecting the values of certain portfolio securities that occur between the close of trading on the principal market for such securities (foreign exchanges and OTC markets) and the time at which the net asset value of the fund is determined. If the fund’s valuation committee believes that a particular event would materially affect net asset value, further adjustment is considered.

IEF invests in private investment funds that pursue certain alternative investment strategies. Private investment fund interests held by IEF are generally not securities for which market quotations are readily available. Rather, such interests generally can be sold back to the private investment fund only at specified intervals or on specified dates. The TIP board of directors has approved valuation procedures pursuant to which IEF values its interests in private investment funds at “fair value.” If a private investment fund does not provide a value to IEF on a timely basis, IEF determines the fair value of that private investment fund based on the most recent estimated value provided by the management of the private investment fund, as well as any other relevant information reasonably available at the time IEF values its portfolio including, for example, total returns of indices or exchange-traded funds that track markets to which the private investment fund may be exposed. The fair values of the private

12


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(In Liquidation)

investment funds are based on available information and do not necessarily represent the amounts that might ultimately be realized, which depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the investment is actually liquidated.

Fair value is intended to represent a good faith approximation of the amount that IEF could reasonably expect to receive from the private investment fund if IEF’s interest in the private investment fund was sold at the time of valuation, based on information reasonably available at the time valuation is made and that IEF believes is reliable.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which available prices are deemed unreliable are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by TIP’s board of directors. Such procedures use fundamental valuation methods, which may include, but are not limited to, the analysis of the effect of any restrictions on the resale of the security, industry analysis and trends, significant changes in the issuer’s financial position, and any other event which could have a significant impact on the value of the security. Determination of fair value involves subjective judgment as the actual market value of a particular security can be established only by negotiations between the parties in a sales transaction, and the difference between the recorded fair value and the value that would be received in a sale could be significant.

Fair value is defined as the price that a fund would receive upon selling an asset or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, respectively. A three-tier hierarchy is utilized to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities)

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2011 in valuing IEF’s investments carried at fair value:

       
Valuation Inputs   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
Assets
    
Private Investment Funds   $     $     $ 3,979,770     $ 3,979,770  
Short-Term Investments     294,030                   294,030  
Total Investments in Securities   $ 294,030           $ 3,979,770     $ 4,273,800  
Total Assets   $ 294,030     $     —     $ 3,979,770     $ 4,273,800  

The fund recognizes transfers into and transfers out of the valuation levels at the beginning of the reporting period. The fund had no transfers in or out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date on which the buy or sell order is executed) for financial reporting purposes. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The fund accretes discounts or amortizes premiums using the yield-to-maturity method on a daily basis, except for mortgage-backed securities that record paydowns. The fund recognizes paydown gains and losses for such securities and reflects them in investment income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities that are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the fund, using reasonable diligence, become aware of such dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. The fund uses the specific identification method for determining realized gain or loss on sales of securities and foreign currency transactions.

Income Taxes

There is no provision for federal income or excise tax since the fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) and intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to RICs and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income. The fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned and gains are recognized.

The fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authorities. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as tax benefits or expenses in the current year. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2008 – December 31, 2011), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.

Expenses

Expenses directly attributable to IEF are charged to the fund’s operations; expenses that are applicable to all TIP funds are allocated based on the relative average daily net assets of each TIP fund.

Dividends to Members

It is the fund’s policy to declare dividends from net investment income semi-annually and distributions from capital gains annually.

Dividends from net short-term capital gains and net long-term capital gains of the fund, if any, are normally declared and paid in December, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Code. To the extent that a net realized capital gain could be reduced by a capital loss carryover, such gain will not be distributed. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the fund are maintained in US dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars on the following basis:

(i) the foreign currency value of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date;
(ii) purchases and sales of investments, income, and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The resulting net unrealized foreign currency gain or loss is included in the Statement of Operations.

The fund does not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Accordingly, such foreign currency gain (loss) is included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. However, the fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign-currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to US federal income tax regulations; such amount is categorized as foreign currency gain or loss for income tax reporting purposes.

Net realized gains and losses from foreign currency-related transactions represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the US dollar amount actually received.

Net Asset Value

The net asset value per share is calculated on a daily basis by dividing the fund’s assets, less its liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of the fund.

3.  Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments

IEF employed derivative strategies, such as futures, buying options, and swaps (including total return swaps). Derivatives are used for “hedging” when TIFF Advisory Services, Inc. (“TAS”) or a money manager seeks to protect the fund’s investments from a decline in value. Derivative strategies are also used when TAS or a money manager seeks to increase liquidity, implement a cash management strategy, invest in a particular stock or segment of the market in a more efficient or less expensive way, and/or for purposes of total return.

Cover for Strategies Using Derivative Instruments

Transactions using derivative instruments, including futures contracts and swaps, expose the fund to an obligation to another party and may give rise to a form of leverage. It is the fund’s policy to segregate assets to cover derivative transactions that might be deemed to create leverage under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. In that regard, the fund will not enter into any such transactions unless it has covered such transactions by owning and segregating either (1) an offsetting (“covered”) position in securities, currencies, or other derivative instruments or (2) cash and/or liquid securities with a value sufficient at all times to cover its potential obligations to the extent not covered as provided in (1) above. When the fund is required to segregate cash or liquid securities, it will instruct its custodian as to which cash holdings or liquid assets are to be marked on the books of the fund or its custodian as segregated for purposes of Section 18 of the 1940 Act. The fund will monitor the amount of these segregated assets on a daily basis and will not enter into additional transactions that would require the segregations of cash or liquid securities unless the fund holds a sufficient amount of cash or liquid securities that can be segregated.

Financial Futures Contracts

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the fund accessed both long and short exposure to world markets (ex-US) via futures contracts on equity indices. The fund also accessed exposure to long and short ex-US exposure via futures contracts on foreign currencies. IEF used futures to maintain market exposure while the fund’s portfolio was being liquidated to meet redemptions on the coordinated redemption date.

Futures contracts involve varying degrees of risk. Such risks include the imperfect correlation between the price of a derivative and that of the underlying security and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these securities. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

December 31, 2011
(In Liquidation)

A financial futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities or other instrument at a set price for delivery at a future date. At the time a futures contract is purchased or sold, the fund must allocate cash or securities as a deposit payment (“initial margin”). An outstanding futures contract is valued daily, and the payment in cash of “variation margin” will be required, a process known as “marking to the market.” Each day the fund will be required to provide (or will be entitled to receive) variation margin in an amount equal to any decline (in the case of a long futures position) or increase (in the case of a short futures position) in the contract’s value since the preceding day. The daily variation margin is recorded as a receivable or payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded as net realized gain (loss) from financial futures contracts in the Statement of Operations, equal to the difference between the opening and closing values of the contracts.

US futures contracts have been designed by exchanges that have been designated as “contract markets” by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and such contracts must be executed through a futures commission merchant or brokerage firm that is a member of the relevant contract market. Futures contracts trade on a number of exchange markets, and through their clearing corporations the exchanges guarantee performance of the contracts as between the clearing members of the exchange, thereby reducing the risk of counterparty default.

Swap Contracts

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the fund used total return swap contracts to increase its exposure to markets outside the US, including, notably, emerging markets. Rather than incurring the costs associated with reallocating fund assets to or away from money managers or purchasing additional equity securities, the use of total return swap contracts allowed TAS to strategically position the fund’s exposures relative to the MSCI ACW Index ex US, while maintaining a cash liquidity buffer. The fund also used swaps to maintain market exposure while the fund’s portfolio was being liquidated to meet redemptions on the coordinated redemption date.

A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset. The fund will generally enter into swap agreements on a net basis, which means that the two payment streams that are to be made by the fund and its counterparty are netted out, with the fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net difference in the two payments. If the counterparty is obligated to pay the net amount to the fund, the fund is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty. If the fund is obligated to pay the net amount, the fund’s risk of loss is that net amount.

Upon entering into a swap agreement, the fund may be required to pledge to the swap counterparty an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to the total net amount (if any) that would be payable by the fund to the counterparty if the swap were terminated on the date in question, including any early termination payments. Likewise, the counterparty may be required to pledge cash or other assets to cover its obligations to the fund. However, the amount pledged may not always be equal to or more than the amount due to the other party. Therefore, if a counterparty defaults in its obligations to the fund, the amount pledged by the counterparty and available to the fund may not be sufficient to cover all the amounts due to the fund and the fund may sustain a loss.

The fund records a net receivable or payable for the amount expected to be received or paid in the period. Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. The swap is valued at fair market value as determined by valuation models developed and approved in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures.

Equity or Total Return Swaps.  An equity swap or total return swap is an agreement between two parties under which the parties agree to make payments to each other so as to replicate the economic consequences that would apply had a purchase or short sale of the underlying security taken place. For example, one party may agree to pay the other party the total return earned or realized on the notional amount of an underlying equity security and any dividends declared with respect to that equity security. Similarly, such payments may be based on the performance of an index. In return, the other party would make payments, typically at a spread to a floating rate, calculated based on the notional amount.

Forward Currency Contracts

During the year ended December 31, 2011, IEF entered into forward currency contracts to manage the foreign currency exchange risk to which it is subject in the normal course of pursuing international investment objectives. The primary objective of such transactions is to protect (hedge) against a decrease in the US dollar equivalent value of its foreign securities or the payments thereon that may result from an adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates in advance of pending transaction settlements.

A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specific currency for another at a set price on a future date, which is individually negotiated and privately traded by currency traders and their customers in the interbank market. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward

currency contracts are marked to market daily, and the change in value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. The fund may either exchange the currencies specified at the maturity of a forward contract or, prior to maturity, enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting forward contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward contracts are usually performed with the counterparty to the original forward contract. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the US dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in US dollars upon closing a contract is included in net realized gain (loss) from forward currency contracts on the Statement of Operations. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the US dollar.

4.  Investment Advisory, Money Manager, and Other Agreements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates

TIP’s board of directors has approved an investment advisory agreement for the fund with TAS. The fund paid TAS a monthly fee calculated by applying the annual rates set forth below to such fund’s average daily net assets for the month:

 
Assets     
On the first $500 million     0.15 % 
On the next $500 million     0.13 % 
On the next $500 million     0.11 % 
On the next $500 million     0.09 % 
On the next $500 million     0.07 % 
On the next $500 million     0.05 % 
On the remainder (> $3 billion)     0.05 % 

TIP’s board of directors approved money manager agreements with each of the money managers. Certain money managers received annual management fees equal to a stated percentage of the value of fund assets under management that was adjusted upward or downward, usually proportionately, to reflect actual investment performance over the applicable time period relative to a chosen benchmark rate of return or was otherwise based on performance of the money manager’s portfolio. Other money managers received management fees equal to a specified percentage per annum of the assets under management with a single rate or on a descending scale. Money managers who provided services to the fund and their fees as a percent of assets managed during the year ended December 31, 2011 were as follows:

     
  Minimum   Maximum   Effective
Fee Rate
Marathon Asset Management, LLP (a)     0.15 %      1.60 %      0.87 % 
Mission Value Partners, LLC (a)(b)     0.25 %      2.00 %      1.62 % 
Mondrian Investment Partners Limited (b)     0.33 %      0.55 %      0.50 % 
(a) Money manager received a fee that included a performance component.
(b) Money manager received a fee that was based in whole or in part on assets under management, irrespective of performance. For money managers whose fees are based solely on assets under management, the minimum and maximum reflect the last level and the first level, respectively, of the asset-based fee on a fee schedule that includes breakpoints. For Mission Value Partners, whose fee also included a performance component, the minimum reflects the last level of the asset based fee on a fee schedule that includes breakpoints (the first level on such fee schedule is 1.00%) and the maximum reflects the impact of the performance component of the fee schedule.

With respect to IEF’s investments in other registered investment companies, private investment funds, exchange-traded funds, and other acquired funds, IEF bears its ratable share of each such entity’s expenses and would also be subject to its share of the management and performance fees, if any, charged by such entity. IEF’s share of management and performance fees charged by such entities is in addition to fees paid by IEF to TAS and money managers.

TIP designated an employee of TAS as its Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). For these services provided to TIP, which included the monitoring of TIP’s compliance program pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act, TIP reimbursed TAS. IEF paid a pro rata portion of such costs based on its share of TIP’s net assets.

Pursuant to a series of agreements, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) earned a fee for providing core fund administration, fund accounting, domestic custody, and transfer agent services. Fees paid for non-core services rendered by State Street included, but are not limited to, foreign custody and transactional fees, which are based upon assets of the fund and/or on transactions entered into by the fund during the period, and out-of-pocket expenses. Fees for such services paid to State Street by the fund are reflected as fund administration fees on the Statement of Operations.

TAS provided certain administrative services to the fund under a Services Agreement. For these services, the fund paid a monthly fee calculated by applying an annual rate of 0.02% to the fund’s average daily net assets for the month. Fees for such services paid to TAS by the fund are reflected as administrative fees on the Statement of Operations.

5.  Investment Transactions

The cost of investment securities purchased and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, during the year ended December 31, 2011 were $24,504,633 and $181,501,080, respectively.

6.  Federal Tax Information

For federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investment securities, at December 31, 2011, are as follows:

     
Gross Unrealized
Appreciation
  Gross Unrealized
Depreciation
  Net Unrealized
Appreciation/
(Depreciation)
  Cost
$521,361     $(1,020,230)       $(498,869)       $4,772,669  

The difference between the tax cost and the cost for US GAAP purposes of the investment held at year end is due to the tax treatment of income/losses from the private investment fund.

Dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital account based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the fund made the following reclassifications primarily due to foreign currency gains/(losses), swap gains/(losses), and the tax treatment of investments in passive foreign investment companies, and investment partnerships:

   
Undistributed/
(Distribution in Excess of)
Net Investment Income
  Accumulated
Realized
Gain/(Losses)
  Paid in
Capital
$10,159,784     $(7,588,305)       $(2,571,479)  

At December 31, 2011, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis detailed below differ from the amounts reflected in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences, largely arising from wash sales, post-October losses, partnership income, passive foreign investment companies, financial futures transactions, and forward currency contracts.

     
Undistributed/
(Distribution in Excess of)
Ordinary Income
  Undistributed
Capital Gains
  (Accumulated
Capital and
Other Losses)
  Unrealized
Appreciation/
(Depreciation) (a)
$  —     $  —       $(17,272,195)(b)       $(497,331)  
(a) Includes unrealized appreciation on investments and foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities.
(b) Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), the fund is permitted to carry forward any new capital losses for an unlimited period. Additionally, such capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than considered short-term under previous law.

Prior to the Act, IEF incurred capital loss carryovers of $3,194,158, which will retain their character as short-term losses until they expire on December 31, 2017. The fund did not incur additional capital losses subject to the Act. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the fund utilized $1,587,190 of capital loss carryovers.

In addition, the fund can elect to defer qualified late year losses incurred after October 31, 2011 but before December 31, 2011, which are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following year. Accordingly, IEF elected to defer qualified late year losses of $14,078,037.

The amount and character of tax basis distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, are detailed below. Certain differences exist from the amounts reflected in the fund’s Statements of Changes in Net Assets primarily due to the character of foreign currency gains/(losses) and net short-term capital gains treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.

7.  Repurchase Agreements

The fund entered into repurchase agreements under which a member bank of the Federal Reserve System or a securities firm that is a primary or reporting dealer in US government securities agrees, upon entering into a contract, to sell US government securities to the fund and repurchase such securities from the fund at a mutually agreed upon price and date.

The fund engaged in repurchase transactions with parties approved by TAS on the basis of such party’s creditworthiness. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the custodial bank until maturity of the repurchase agreements. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and the procedures adopted by the fund require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, be at least equal to the repurchase price in order to protect against loss in the event of default by the counterparty.

8.  Capital Share Transactions

While there are no sales commissions (loads) or 12b-1 fees, IEF assessed entry and exit fees of 0.75% of capital invested or redeemed. These fees, which were paid to the fund directly, not to TAS or other vendors supplying services to the fund, were designed to allocate transaction costs associated with purchases and redemptions of the fund shares to the members actually making such transactions, rather than the fund’s other members. These fees were deducted from the amount invested or redeemed; they could not be paid separately. Such fees were retained by the fund and included in proceeds from shares sold or deducted from distributions for redemptions. Exit fees were waived for those members who voluntarily redeemed on the coordinated redemption date, November 28, 2011.

9.  Delayed Delivery Transactions

The fund was authorized to purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The fund identifies these securities in their records as segregated with a value at least equal to the amount of the purchase commitment.

10.  Concentration of Risks

IEF engages in transactions with counterparties, including but not limited to repurchase agreements, forward contracts, futures and options, and total return, interest rate, and currency swaps. The fund may be subject to various delays and risks of loss if a counterparty becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its obligations.

IEF invests in private investment funds that entail liquidity risk to the extent they are difficult to sell or convert to cash quickly at favorable prices.

The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States, a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.

11.  Fundamental Members

As of December 31, 2011, the fund had one member owning 100% of the fund. A director of the fund serves as an officer of this member.

12.  Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the fund entered into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

13.  Subsequent Events

Effective after the close of business on January 4, 2012, the Fund distributed all of its net assets to the sole remaining shareholder. Net assets of $9,307,510 were distributed to this shareholder on January 4, 2012.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
TIFF Investment Program, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of TIFF International Equity Fund (one of the series constituting TIP Investment Program, Inc.) (the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Board of Directors decided to liquidate the Fund effective January 4, 2012. As a result, the Fund changed its basis of accounting to liquidation basis.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TIFF International Equity Fund at December 31, 2011, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applied on the basis described in the preceding paragraph.

Approval of New Money Manager Agreement with Mondrian (Unaudited)

During an in-person meeting held on July 18, 2011, the board of directors of TIFF Investment Program, Inc. (“TIP”), all of whom are not “interested persons” of TIP (the “board” or the “directors”), as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), evaluated and approved a new money manager agreement for TIFF International Equity Fund (“IEF”) with Mondrian Investment Partners Limited (“Mondrian”), effective as of July 18, 2011. The board was asked to approve the new money manager agreement because, as a result of a change of control of Mondrian in July 2011, Mondrian’s money manager agreement with IEF terminated as a matter of law and it was necessary to enter into a new agreement in order to allow Mondrian to continue providing services to IEF.

In considering the new money manager agreement with Mondrian, the board requested and received information from Mondrian in advance of the meeting, which information the board reviewed separately in executive session with its independent counsel. The materials provided included information regarding Mondrian’s personnel, investment strategy and philosophy, portfolio management, fees and expenses, and performance. Information about brokerage and commission practices was also supplied, including allocation methodologies, commission rates, best execution, and soft dollar programs. Extensive information with respect to compliance, administration, and risk management was supplied, such as information on Mondrian’s compliance programs, including its code of ethics and business continuity procedures, as well as information concerning any material violations of such programs, chief compliance officer background, disclosure about regulatory examinations or other inquiries, and confirmation that there were no litigation proceedings affecting Mondrian. The board also requested detailed information regarding Mondrian’s financial condition and its financial viability following the change in control.

In addition, the board considered (1) a memorandum from Mondrian’s outside counsel explaining the change in control of Mondrian and the resulting assignment of the money manager agreement; (2) Mondrian’s Money Manager Profile, detailing the individual portfolio managers responsible for IEF and the fee schedule; and (3) responses by Mondrian to a questionnaire prepared by the board’s independent counsel requesting information necessary for the board to evaluate the new money manager agreement. The board took into account the fact that it had recently reviewed comprehensive materials provided by Mondrian in connection with the board’s annual approval of IEF’s advisory and money manager agreements, which took place on June 15 – 16, 2011, at which time the board approved the previous money manager agreement between IEF and Mondrian.

The board based its evaluation of the new money manager agreement on the material factors presented to it at the meeting, including (1) the terms of the agreement; (2) the reasonableness of Mondrian’s fee schedule in light of the nature and quality of the services provided and any additional benefits received by Mondrian in connection with providing services to IEF; (3) the nature, quality, and extent of the services performed by Mondrian; (4) the fees charged by Mondrian to IEF and other similar clients; and (5) the overall organization and experience of Mondrian. In reaching its conclusion to approve the new money manager agreement, the board did not single out any one factor or group of factors as being more important than the other factors, but considered all of these factors together with a view toward past and future long-term considerations.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services

The board considered a number of factors in evaluating Mondrian. It noted that it receives information at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by Mondrian, as well IEF’s performance, expense, and compliance information. It also noted that it received information between regular meetings as the need arises. The board’s evaluation of the services provided by Mondrian took into account the board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as board members. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of services provided under the previous money manager agreement for IEF, noting that the same or a similar level of services was expected to be provided under the new money manager agreement.

Investment Performance

The board reviewed the performance of the Mondrian-advised portion of IEF versus its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index ex US, for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year, and since inception periods ended March 31, 2011. Mondrian’s performance exceeded that of the benchmark for the five- and ten-year and since-inception periods, but underperformed the benchmark for the one- and three-year periods. The board noted that Mondrian’s performance was generally in-line with expectations given the market environment and Mondrian’s investment style. Overall, the board was satisfied with the performance of the assets managed by Mondrian for IEF.

Profitability

The board did not specifically consider the profitability of Mondrian resulting from its relationship with IEF because Mondrian is not affiliated with TIFF Advisory Services, Inc. (“TAS”) or TIP except by virtue of serving as a money manager, and the fees to be paid to Mondrian were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis in a competitive marketplace.

Fees and Expenses (including Potential Economies of Scale)

The board noted that it had reviewed Mondrian’s advisory fees as a part of IEF’s fees and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 during its annual review of IEF’s advisory and money manager agreement in June 2011. The board noted that Mondrian’s fee schedule under the previous and new money manager agreement includes breakpoints that enable IEF to benefit from economies of scale at IEF’s current asset levels. The board concluded that the advisory fees paid by IEF to Mondrian were reasonable in light of the quality and nature of services provided and expected to be provided under the new money manager agreement.

In its deliberations with respect to the new money manager agreements, the board was advised by its independent legal counsel and weighed the matters before it in light of the advice provided by such counsel as to the law applicable to the review of investment advisory contracts. After consideration of the proposal and all factors deemed relevant, the board concluded that the new money manager agreement was reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of IEF and its members, and that the fees provided in the new money manager agreement were fair and reasonable. Therefore, the board unanimously voted to approve the new money manager agreement for IEF.
