Holding Period

Investments are held in a separate NU Foundation brokerage account for a minimum of 10 years to showcase one of the main principles taught in GOB.

Class Portfolios

Each year’s GOB graduating class may have a separate sub-portfolio of stocks kept in the same GOB Master Fund. The sub-portfolio will be subject to portfolio amounts determined by annual or bi-annual donations, using the same stock selection criteria with a 10-year holding period and 10 percent annual distributions.

Portfolios will be set up so that dividends will be automatically reinvested.

Fund Distributions

After 10 years, 10 percent of the GOB Investment Fund portfolio(s) will be distributed annually for the unrestricted benefit of the UNO EMBA program. All portfolio sell decisions will be made by the current UNO CBA Finance Chair.

Reporting

Each year the UNO CBA Finance Chair will report the portfolio(s) and GOB Master Fund returns as compared to the S&P 500 index and BRK.b stock.
