Investors should stay informed about these activities to ensure no conflicts of interest.
ALL SAINTS GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH POSITION: Endowment Fund Committee member. Most likely will be elected Chairman or other officer position. NATURE: This is a church. The nature of this business is to worship God. The endowment fund is part of the church. The principal of the funds must always stay in tact in perpetuity. Only dividends and interest are available to be disbursed to the church upon the direction in writing by the Parish Council of All Saints Greek Orthodox Church. I am one of 13 Parish Council members. We have many committees at the church. I have been asked to join the endowment fund committee. The start date provided below is a best guess. I have not started this position. INVESTMENT RELATED: Yes NUMBER OF HOURS: 3 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 1 START DATE: 09/28/2020 ADDRESS: 102 N. Broadway, Joliet IL 60435, United States DESCRIPTION: Members of the endowment fund must be in good standing with the church. They must also be nominated to the position by the Parish Council of All Saints Greek Orthodox Church. Once nominated to the committee, the committee elects it's officers. Expectations are that we monitor an existing portfolio of mostly ETF's and make adjustments (if needed). Invest new money that is donated to the endowment fund. This is typically adding to existing positions to keep the same asset allocation. Transactions are discussed prior and voted upon by the 5 person committee with a majority of 3 people needed to make a buy or sell decision. Only the officers, chairman, treasurer, or secretary/operations may place the trade at Charles Schwab or direct money movement only to All Saints Greek Orthodox Church upon request of the All Saints Parish Council. Only dividends and interest are available for disbursement.
