Key objectives:
Reduce the need to withdraw money from the Polled Investment Fund. The Pooled Investment Fund (PIF) is our Episcopal vehicle for enhancing the power of our church’s assets. Established and managed by the Trustees, this fund provides a low-cost, reasonably safe, competitive return on our investments.
