Asset Allocation:
Endowed funds that are related to the Board of Regents Support Fund are invested in a separate portfolio, governed not only by the investment policies of the LSU Foundation, but also by policies dictated by the Louisiana Board of Regents. These funds consist of private donations made under the Board of Regents' program for chairs and professorships, as well as the matching funds received from the state under the program. The asset allocation for this combined portfolio as of June 30, 2012, is depicted in the pie chart below.
