Categorizing Pools of Capital
Organizations can be categorized based on their dependence on capital, the nature of their liabilities, and their investment horizons. A high dependence on capital with fixed liabilities usually signifies a more conservative investment approach, often seen in pension funds. In contrast, endowments and foundations tend to have lower dependency and a more variable nature of liabilities, allowing for a more aggressive approach in equity and illiquid investments. This categorization helps investors align their asset management strategies with their organizational goals.
