TIFF MULTI-ASSET FUND

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2016

 

1.Organization

 

TIFF Investment Program ("TIP") is a no-load, open-end management investment company that seeks to improve the net investment returns of its members through two investment vehicles, each with its own investment objective and policies. TIP was originally incorporated under Maryland law on December 23, 1993, and was reorganized, effective December 16, 2014, as a Delaware statutory trust. As of September 30, 2016, TIP consisted of two mutual funds, TIFF Multi-Asset Fund ("MAF" or the "fund") and TIFF Short-Term Fund ("STF"), each of which is diversified, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The schedule of investments and notes presented here relate only to MAF.

 

Investment Objective

 

The fund'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 fund operates as a diversified investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

 

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 OTC 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 has established a pricing hierarchy to determine the order of pricing sources utilized in valuing its portfolio holdings. The pricing hierarchy has been approved by the TIP board of trustees (the "board").

 

42 

 

 

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. The TIP 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 securities for which market quotations are not readily available. Rather, such interests generally can be sold back to the private investment fund only at specified intervals or on specified dates. The board 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.

 

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 the board. 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 the fund could reasonably expect to 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)

Securities designated as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy are valued using methodologies and procedures established by the board, and the TIP Valuation Committee, which was established to serve as an agent of the board. Management is responsible for the execution of these valuation procedures. Transfers to/from, or additions to, Level 3 require a determination of the valuation methodology, including the use of unobservable inputs, by the TIP Valuation Committee.

 

The TIP Valuation Committee meets no less than quarterly to review the methodologies and significant unobservable inputs currently in use, and to adjust the pricing models as necessary. Any adjustments to the pricing models are documented in the minutes of the TIP Valuation Committee meetings, which are provided to the board on a quarterly basis.

 

The following is a summary of the procedures and significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 investments:

 

Common Stocks and Disputed Claims Receipt. 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 the board. Such procedures use fundamental valuation methods, which may include, but are not limited to, an 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. On a quarterly basis, the TIP Valuation Committee reviews the valuations in light of current information available about the issuer, security, or market trends to adjust the pricing models, if deemed necessary.

 

Private Investment Funds. Private investment funds are valued at fair value using net asset values received on monthly statements, adjusted for the most recent estimated value or performance provided by the management of the private investment fund. In most cases, values are adjusted further by the total returns of indices or exchange-traded funds that track markets to which the private investment fund is fully or partially exposed, as determined by the TIP Valuation Committee upon review of information provided by the private investment fund. On a quarterly basis, the TIP Valuation Committee compares the valuations as determined by the pricing models at each month-end during the quarter to statements provided by management of the private investment funds in order to recalibrate the market exposures, the indices, or exchange-traded funds used in the pricing models as necessary.

 

The valuation techniques and significant observable inputs used in recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of assets were as follows:

 

As of September 30, 2016  Fair Value   Valuation
Methodology
  Significant
Unobservable
Inputs
  Range   Weighted
Average
 
Common Stocks  $   Last market price  Discount(%)   100%   100%
Disputed Claims Receipt   369,657   Corporate action model  Future claim awards        
Private Investment
Funds
   669,827,228   Adjusted net asset value  Manager estimates   (2.31)% - 3.20%   0.47%
           Market returns*   (2.50)% - 9.03%   0.06%

 

* Weighted by estimated exposure to chosen indices or exchange-traded funds.

The following are descriptions of the sensitivity of the Level 3 reoccurring fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs presented in the table above:

 

Common Stocks and Disputed Claims Receipt. The methodology and unobservable inputs in the above chart reflect the methodology and significant unobservable inputs of securities held at period ended September 30, 2016. The discount for lack of marketability used to determine fair value may include other factors such as liquidity or credit risk. An increase (decrease) in the discount would result in a lower or higher fair value measurement.

 

Private Investment Funds. The range of manager estimates and market returns reflected in the above chart identify the range of estimates and returns used in valuing the private investment funds at period ended September 30, 2016. A significant increase (decrease) in the estimates received from the manager of the private investment funds would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the market return weighted by estimated exposures to chosen indices would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

 

The table below details the fund’s ability to redeem from private investment funds that are classified as Level 3 assets. The private investment funds in this category generally impose a “lockup” or "gating" provision, which may restrict the timing, amount, or frequency of redemptions. All or a portion of the interests in these privately offered funds generally are deemed to be illiquid.

3.Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments

 

During the period ended September 30, 2016, the fund invested in derivatives, such as but not limited to futures, purchased and written options, and total return swaps for hedging, liquidity, index exposure, and active management strategies. 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. Depending on the purpose for which the derivative instruments are being used, the successful use of derivative instruments may depend on, among other factors, TAS’s or the money manager’s general understanding of how derivative instruments act in relation to referenced securities or markets but also on market conditions, which are out of control of TAS or the money manager.

Cover for Strategies Using Derivative Instruments

 

Transactions using derivative instruments, including futures contracts, written options 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 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

 

The fund may use futures contracts, generally in one of three ways: (1) to gain long-term exposures, both long and short, to the total returns of broad equity indices, globally; (2) to gain long-term exposures, both long and short, to the returns of non-dollar currencies relative to the US dollar; and (3) to manage the duration of the fund's fixed income holdings to targeted levels. While trades here may be opportunistic in order to rebalance or otherwise adjust the fund's exposures, generally the fund's holdings of futures at the end of the period are indicative of the types, number, and magnitude of positions held throughout the period. The fund's trading in futures tends to be centered around the quarterly roll periods and within the duration-hedging activities.

 

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 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 may 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.

 

48 

 

 

Swap Contracts

 

The fund may use swaps and generally uses them in the following ways: (1) to gain long-term exposures, both long and short, to the total returns of broad equity indices, (2) to gain short- or long-term exposure, both long and short, to the total returns of individual stocks and bonds and 3) to gain long-term exposures to the total returns of selected investment strategies. While swaps falling into the first first and third categories are often held for multiple quarters, if not years, swaps in the second category can at times be held for shorter time periods or adjusted frequently based on the managers' evolving views of the expected risk/reward of the trade. The fund’s holdings of swaps at the end of the period are indicative of the types, number, and magnitude of positions held throughout the period.

 

Generally, swap agreements are contracts between a fund and another party (the swap counterparty) involving the exchange of payments on specified terms over periods ranging from a few days to multiple years. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded OTC between the two parties (for an uncleared swap) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a Futures Commission Merchant and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty (for a cleared swap). In a basic swap transaction, the fund agrees with the swap counterparty to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) and/or cash flows earned or realized on a particular ‘‘notional amount’’ or value of predetermined underlying reference instruments. The notional amount is the set dollar or other value selected by the parties to use as the basis on which to calculate the obligations that the parties to a swap agreement have agreed to exchange. The parties typically do not actually exchange the notional amount. Instead they agree to exchange the returns that would be earned or realized if the notional amount were invested in given investments or at given interest rates. Examples of returns that may be exchanged in a swap agreement are those of a particular security, a particular fixed or variable interest rate, a particular non-US currency, or a ‘‘basket’’ of securities representing a particular index or portfolio of securities and other instruments. Swaps can also be based on credit and other events.

 

A 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 with respect to a particular swap agreement are netted out, with the fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net difference in the two payments. The fund’s obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement that is entered into on a net basis will generally be the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the obligations of each party upon termination of the agreement or at set valuation dates. The fund will accrue its obligations under a swap agreement daily (offset by any amounts the counterparty owes the fund). If the swap agreement does not provide for that type of netting, the full amount of the fund’s obligations will be accrued on a daily basis.

 

Cleared swaps are subject to mandatory central clearing. Central clearing is designed to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity compared to bilateral swaps because central clearing interposes the central clearinghouse as the counterparty to each participant’s swap, but it does not eliminate those risks completely and may involve additional costs and risks not involved with uncleared swaps.

 

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. In certain circumstances, the fund may be required to pledge an additional amount, known as an independent amount, which is typically equal to a specified percentage of the notional amount of the trade. Likewise, the counterparty may be required to pledge cash or other assets to cover its obligations to the fund, net of the independent amount, if any. 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. Other risks may apply if an independent amount has been posted.

 

49 

 

 

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. In addition, the fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the value of foreign currencies change unfavorably to the US dollar.

 

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 agrees 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 or a portfolio of securities and other instruments. In return the other party would make payments, typically at a spread to a floating rate, calculated based on the notional amount.

 

Options

 

The fund generally uses options to hedge a portion (but not all) of the downside risk in its long or short equity positions and also opportunistically to generate total returns. The fund may also engage in writing options, for example, to express a long view on a security. When writing a put option, the risk to the fund is equal to the notional value of the position. The fund’s holdings of options at the end of the period are indicative of the types, number, and magnitude of positions held throughout the period.

 

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.

 

As the writer of a put option, the fund retains the risk of loss should the underlying instrument decline in value. If the value of the underlying instrument declines below the exercise price of the put option and the put option is exercised, the fund, as the writer of the put option, will be required to buy the instrument at the exercise price. The fund will incur a loss to the extent that the current market value of the underlying instrument is less than the exercise price of the put option net of the premium received by the fund for the sale of the put option. If a put option written by the fund expires unexercised, the fund will realize a gain in the amount of the premium received. As the writer of a put option, the fund may be required to pledge cash and/or other liquid assets at least equal to the value of the fund’s obligation under the written put.

 

50 

 

 

The fund may write ‘‘covered’’ call options, meaning that the fund owns the underlying instrument that is subject to the call, or has cash and/or liquid securities with a value at all times sufficient to cover its potential obligations under the option. When the fund writes a covered call option covered by the underlying instrument that is subject to the call, the underlying instruments that are held by the fund and are subject to the call option will be earmarked as segregated on the books of the fund or the fund’s custodian. A fund will be unable to sell the underlying instruments that are subject to the written call option until it either effects a closing transaction with respect to the written call, or otherwise satisfies the conditions for release of the underlying instruments from segregation, for example, by segregating sufficient cash and/or liquid assets necessary to enable the fund to purchase the underlying instrument in the event the call option is exercised by the buyer.

 

When the fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the fund is included in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These contracts may also involve market risk in excess of the amounts stated in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the fund could be exposed to risk if the counter-parties are unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the value of foreign currencies change unfavorably to the US dollar. The current market value of a written option is the last sale price on the market on which it is principally traded. If the written option expires unexercised, the fund realizes a gain in the amount of the premium received. If the fund enters into a closing transaction, it recognizes a gain or loss, depending on whether the cost of the purchase is less than or greater than the premium received.

 

For the period ended September 30, 2016, the fund had the following transactions in written options.

Forward Currency Contracts

 

At times, the fund enters 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. The fund's holdings of forward currency contracts at the end of the period are indicative of the types of positions held throughout the period.

 

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.

 

51 

 

 

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

 

The fund sells securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of such securities or in order to hedge portfolio positions. The fund generally will borrow the security sold in order to make delivery to the buyer. Upon entering into a short position, the fund records the proceeds as a deposit 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 fund must also post an additional amount of margin of 50% of the value of the short sale. Additional margin may be required as the value of the borrowed security fluctuates. 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 to close its short position except at prices significantly above those previously quoted in the market.

 

Interest Only Securities

 

The fund may invest 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.

4. Federal Tax Information

 

For federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned at September 30, 2016 has been estimated since the final tax characteristic cannot be determined until fiscal year end. The cost of investments, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation), and the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investment securities, other than proceeds from securities sold short, at September 30, 2016, are as follows:

 

Gross Unrealized
Appreciation
   Gross Unrealized
Depreciation
  

Net Unrealized
Appreciation/

(Depreciation)

   Cost 
$498,748,070   $(413,240,861)  $85,507,209   $4,273,872,018 

 

53 

 

 

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.

 

The amount and character of tax basis distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year end; accordingly, tax basis balances have not been determined as of September 30, 2016.

 

5.Repurchase Agreements

 

The fund will engage in repurchase transactions under the terms of master repurchase agreements with parties approved by TAS or the relevant money manager.

 

In a repurchase agreement, the fund buys securities from a counterparty (e.g., typically a member bank of the Federal Reserve system or a securities firm that is a primary or reporting dealer in US Government securities) with the agreement that the counterparty will repurchase them at the same price plus interest at a later date. In certain instances, the fund may enter into repurchase agreements with one counterparty, but face another counterparty at settlement. Repurchase agreements may be characterized as loans secured by the underlying securities. Such transactions afford an opportunity for the fund to earn a return on available cash at minimal market risk, although the fund may be subject to various delays and risks of loss if the counterparty becomes subject to a proceeding under the US Bankruptcy Code or is otherwise unable to meet its obligation to repurchase the securities. In transactions that are considered to be collateralized fully, the securities underlying a repurchase agreement will be marked-to-market every business day so that the value of such securities is at least equal to the repurchase price thereof, including accrued interest.

 

The following table presents the fund's repurchase agreements net of amounts available for offset and net of the related collateral received as of September 30, 2016:

 

Counterparty  Assets Subject

Total  $171,738,944   $   $(171,738,944)  $ 

 

Please see Note 3, Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments, for further discussion of netting provisions and similar arrangements.

 

6.Concentration of Risks

 

MAF may engage 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 the counterparty becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its obligations.

 

54 

 

 

The fund engages multiple external money managers, each of which manages a portion of the fund's assets. A multi-manager fund entails the risk, among others, that the advisor may not be able to (1) identify and retain money managers who achieve superior investment returns relative to similar investments; (2) combine money managers in the fund such that their investment styles are complementary; or (3) allocate cash among the money managers to enhance returns and reduce volatility or risk of loss relative to a fund with a single manager.

 

The fund 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 US Government securities. Because of the rising US Government debt burden, it is possible that the US Government may not be able to meet its financial obligations or that securities issued or backed by the US Government may experience credit downgrades. Such a credit event may adversely affect the financial markets.

 

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 US, 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 may 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.

 

7.Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events and has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure.

TIFF SHORT-TERM FUND

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2016

 

1.Organization

 

TIFF Investment Program ("TIP") is a no-load, open-end management investment company that seeks to improve the net investment returns of its members through two investment vehicles, each with its own investment objective and policies. TIP was originally incorporated under Maryland law on December 23, 1993, and was reorganized, effective December 16, 2014, as a Delaware statutory trust. As of September 30, 2016, TIP consisted of two mutual funds, TIFF Multi-Asset Fund ("MAF") and TIFF Short-Term Fund ("STF" or the "fund"), each of which is diversified, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The schedule of investments and notes presented here relate only to STF.

 

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 fund operates as a diversified investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies.

 

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 the fund could reasonable expect to 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.

 

57 

 

 

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)

 

During the period ended September 30, 2016, all of the fund’s investments were valued using Level 1 inputs and, as a result, there were no transfers between any of the fair value hierarchy levels.

 

3.Federal Tax Information

 

For federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned at September 30, 2016 has been estimated since the final tax characteristic cannot be determined until fiscal year end. The cost of investments, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investment securities, at September 30, 2016, are as follows:

 

Gross Unrealized Appreciation   Gross Unrealized
Depreciation
  

Net Unrealized
Appreciation/

(Depreciation)

   Cost 
$0   $(18,724)  $(18,724)  $71,171,062 

 

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 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 accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

 

The amount and character of tax basis distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year end; accordingly, tax basis balances have not been determined as of September 30, 2016.

 

4.Repurchase Agreements

 

The fund will engage in repurchase transactions under the terms of master repurchase agreements with parties approved by TAS.

 

In a repurchase agreement, the fund buys securities from a counterparty (e.g., typically a member bank of the Federal Reserve system or a securities firm that is a primary or reporting dealer in US Government securities) with the agreement that the counterparty will repurchase them at the same price plus interest at a later date. In certain instances, the fund may enter into repurchase agreements with one counterparty, but face another counterparty at settlement. Repurchase agreements may be characterized as loans secured by the underlying securities. Such transactions afford an opportunity for the fund to earn a return on available cash at minimal market risk, although the fund may be subject to various delays and risks of loss if the counterparty becomes subject to a proceeding under the US Bankruptcy Code or is otherwise unable to meet its obligation to repurchase the securities. 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 value of the securities sold or purchased in order to protect against loss in the event of default by the counterparty.

5.Concentration of Risks

 

The fund may engage in transactions with counterparties, including but not limited to repurchase agreements. The fund may be subject to various delays and risks of loss if the counterparty becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its obligations.

 

The fund invests in US Government securities. Because of the rising US Government debt burden, it is possible that the US Government may not be able to meet its financial obligations or that securities issued or backed by the US Government may experience credit downgrades. Such a credit event may adversely affect the financial markets.

 

6.Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events and has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure.

(a) The registrant's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ( the “1940 Act”) (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c)) were effective as of a date within 90 days prior to filing of this report (the “Evaluation Date”), based on their evaluation of the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(b)) and Rule 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 CFR 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b)) as of the Evaluation Date.

 

(b) There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the registrant’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
