| 2019 Annual Report | | | DECEMBER 31, 2019 | |
TIFF, founded in 1991, is a not-for-profit organization that seeks to improve the investment returns of endowed non-profits by making available to them a series of multi-manager investment strategies, plus resources aimed at enhancing fiduciaries’ knowledge of investing.
TIFF Investment Program (TIP) is comprised of no-load mutual funds available primarily to foundations, endowments, other 501(c)(3) organizations, and certain other non-profit organizations meeting specified accreditation requirements. TIP consists of two mutual funds at present: TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (MAF) and TIFF Short-Term Fund (STF). TIFF Advisory Services, Inc. (TAS) serves as the investment advisor to the funds. MAF operates primarily on a multi-manager basis, and TAS has responsibility for the time-intensive task of selecting money managers and other vendors for the fund as well as for the all-important task of asset allocation. With respect to STF, TAS is responsible for the day-to-day management of all of the fund’s assets.
TIP is pleased to provide this Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2019.

| Portfolio Management Review (Unaudited) | |
TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (“MAF” or the “fund”) maintained an asset allocation of approximately 68% Equity-Oriented Assets, 19% Diversifying Strategies (primarily hedge funds), and 13% shorter-term Fixed Income (including cash) in 2019. Modest changes to the fund’s manager roster during the year, its slight allocation tilt in favor of Equity-Oriented Assets, and the value orientation of its equity exposure were all part of our effort to enable MAF to achieve its performance objective of exceeding CPI + 5% per annum over a majority of market cycles, net of expenses.
Performance Review
MAF returned 18.39% in calendar year 2019, before the deduction of entry and exit fees. This result surpassed the fund’s primary long-term benchmark of CPI + 5%, which returned 7.39% in 2019, due to robust equity returns around the world. However, MAF lagged the Constructed Index (“CI”), which was up 19.87% for the year, owing to weak relative-to-benchmark performance by most of the fund’s managers. For complete, annualized performance data, including the effects of MAF’s 0.50% entry and exit fees, please see the table on page 4.
2019 was a strong year across virtually all global equity regions and markets as US/China trade tensions eased, the US Fed became more accommodative, recession fears dissipated, and global investors drove price/earnings ratios significantly higher. While equities led the way with the MSCI ACWI gaining 26.60%, 2019 was a decidedly “risk on” year across many asset classes and geographies. The Bloomberg Commodity Index was up 7.69% for the year, hedge funds as measured by the Merrill Lynch Factor Model (MLFM) were up 10.58%, fixed income benefitted from lower rates (the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index was up 8.72%), and REITS powered higher with the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Market Index up 23.06%. During the year, MAF again maintained a pro-equity position (remaining modestly overweight the CI’s Equity-Oriented Assets allocation target of 65% by 3 − 5 percentage points) primarily because we believed equities provided the best opportunity for the fund to achieve its long-term return objective and offered the best risk/reward potential. This positioning proved beneficial throughout the year and was the overall driver of the fund’s return.
However, MAF’s roster of Equity-Oriented managers had a difficult year. MAF generally maintains a tilt toward value stocks because over the long run value has tended to beat growth and because we believe price matters, so when you buy less-expensive stocks you have a better cushion against market declines. In 2019, the market favored growth stocks, again. As a result, very few of the fund’s Equity-Oriented managers outperformed their steadily rising benchmarks. One that did was a manager new to the fund. Strategy Capital was added to the fund’s roster on the first of the year and its concentrated portfolio of large-cap, technology (growth) stocks performed exceptionally well in 2019. And, MAF’s two China managers, Green Court and Trustbridge, outperformed their respective benchmarks in 2019, with each such manager posting returns above 30% for the year. However, for the second year in a row, MAF’s Equity-Oriented managers as a group failed to produce positive alpha (additional value above benchmark returns). We consider this outcome to be an outlier as over the last decade or so, MAF’s long-oriented equity managers have averaged returns above their respective benchmarks of about 1% per annum.
For calendar year 2019, MAF’s Diversifying Strategies segment returned a disappointing 3.29% versus 10.58% for the MLFM. In 4Q 2019, the segment came much closer to the MLFM, trailing by only 43 basis points (0.43%). The low equity beta the fund maintains in its Diversifying Strategies segment dragged on returns in 2019’s robustly “risk on” environment, as did generally unimpressive security selection by the fund’s managers in this segment. Within the Diversifying Strategies manager roster, our healthcare specialist produced very strong returns, while our long-standing developed markets long-short equity manager had a very tough year. Despite 2019’s tepid returns in this segment, we continue to view it as an attractive alternative to fixed income for the more defensive portion of MAF’s portfolio.
TIFF Multi-Asset Fund | December 31, 2019 |
| Portfolio Management Review (Unaudited) (continued) | |
MAF’s Fixed Income segment produced a return of 4.24% in calendar 2019, a modest result when compared to some longer duration fixed income strategies, but just slightly behind the CI’s blended fixed income benchmark, which returned 4.34% for the year. 2019 saw global interest rates decline significantly as 41 central banks around the world cut rates 66 times, with three of those cuts coming from the US Federal Reserve alone. The yield curve was inverted for over 4.5 months in 2019 (a traditional precursor to recession) but regained a positive slope following the US Fed’s last two rate cuts. MAF’s relatively short duration and low credit risk portfolio of fixed income securities did not participate fulsomely in the 2019 gains available to fixed income portfolios that accept more duration risk and more credit risk. We expect our fixed income strategy to lag broader fixed income approaches in periods such as 2019, but we continue to dislike the long-term risk/reward profile of the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index and do not at present expect to make material changes to MAF’s fixed income portfolio.
We made use of derivatives, as needed, for MAF in 2019, primarily using passive index futures to balance geographic exposures, fine tune overall equity exposure, and manage liquidity. Currency forwards were used to keep fund level exposure to given currencies (e.g., the Chinese yuan) within desired limits. In each case, this use of futures and forwards performed within expectations and had a positive impact on the fund’s performance. In addition to our use of forwards and futures, we and certain of MAF’s underlying separate account managers use derivatives (primarily total return basket swaps, total return swaps and options) in executing MAF’s investment strategies. During the course of 2019, this use had a positive impact on the fund’s performance.
In sum, MAF had a very strong 2019 in terms of its absolute return and, we think, the fund had a solid year in relative terms despite lagging the Constructed Index. The powerful surge in global equity prices in 2019 was disproportionately favorable to US stocks versus non-US stocks and to growth stocks versus value stocks. For the reasons discussed above, those trends were not the fund’s friends. And, many of MAF’s equity managers did not have a strong year in terms of stock selection. Despite those and other headwinds the fund faced in 2019, it “hung in there” on a relative basis capturing about 92.5% of the year’s return of the CI and 90.5% of the return of a passive 65/35 mix of global stocks and fixed income. MAF’s modest overweight to equities in general helped the fund battle the 2019 headwinds The US versus non-US and growth versus value patterns tend to be cyclical in nature. We are optimistic that MAF can achieve stronger relative performance when those cycles revert in the future. In the meantime, we will continue to focus on the fund’s manager roster and make upgrades when opportunities arise. Pending further developments in the global economy, we do not currently anticipate major changes in MAF’s overall positioning.

| Performance data quoted represent past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Total return assumes reinvestment of dividends. Performance data for the most recent month-end and additional performance information may be obtained by visiting https://tipfunds.org/files/performance/Mutual%20Fund%20Standardized%20Performance.pdf. MAF segment or category returns reflect the deduction of management fees earned by relevant managers but not the deduction of other fees and expenses of the fund. While the fund is no-load, management fees and other expenses will apply. Please refer to the prospectus for further details. One cannot invest directly in an index, and unmanaged indices do not incur fees and expenses. Manager exposures and the performance described above may be achieved via separate accounts, via funds offered by such managers, or via swap. The fund may use leverage; invests in illiquid securities, non-US securities, small capitalization stocks, derivatives, and below investment grade bonds; and engages in shortselling. Non-US securities may entail political, economic, and currency risks different from those of US securities and may be issued by entities adhering to different accounting standards than those governing US issuers. Small capitalization stocks may entail different risks than larger capitalization stocks, including potentially lesser degrees of liquidity. The fund or certain of its money managers invest routinely and, at times, significantly in derivatives, certain of which are deemed by the SEC to be highly speculative. Short selling of securities may increase the potential for loss if a manager has difficulty covering a short position. Leverage may accelerate the velocity and magnitude of potential losses. Not more than 20% of the fund’s assets may be invested in debt obligations rated below investment grade (i.e., having a rating lower than BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Baa by Moody’s) or unrated but deemed to be of similar quality. Bonds rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.” As a multi-manager fund, the fund may experience higher transaction costs than a fund managed by a single manager and the fund may not be able to combine money managers such that their styles are complementary. | |

Total return assumes dividend reinvestment. MAF’s annualized expense ratio for calendar year 2018 was 1.23% (a regulatory mandate requires the use in this report of the same expense ratio as that appearing in the latest fund prospectus). The expense ratio reflects fund expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are expected to vary over time. The expense ratio is expressed as a percentage of average net assets. The expense ratio may differ for 2019.
Commencement of operations was March 31, 1995. The fund assesses entry and exit fees of 0.50%, expressed as a percentage of the purchase or redemption amount, which fees are retained by the fund. Total return before deductions of entry and exit fees assumes there were no purchases or redemptions during the period. Total return after deductions of entry and exit fees assumes a single purchase of shares at the beginning of the period and a single redemption of shares at the end of the period.

| Fund Expenses (Unaudited) | |
As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including entry and exit fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as entry fees or exit fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.03% (calculated over a six-month period, which may differ from the fund’s actual expense ratio for the full year), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Excluding interest and dividend expense, expenses incurred by the fund were 0.76%. The expense ratios do not include the fees and expenses associated with investments made in acquired funds; such fees and expenses are reflected in the acquired funds’ total return.

TIFF Multi-Asset Fund / Notes to Financial Statements | December 31, 2019 |
1. Organization
TIFF Investment Program (“TIP”) is a no-load, open-end management investment company that seeks to improve the net investment returns of its members through two investment vehicles, each with its own investment objective and policies. TIP was originally incorporated under Maryland law on December 23, 1993, and was reorganized, effective December 16, 2014, as a Delaware statutory trust. As of December 31, 2019, TIP consisted of two mutual funds, TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (“MAF” or the “fund”) and TIFF Short-Term Fund, each of which is diversified, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The financial statements and notes presented here relate only to MAF.
Investment Objective
The fund’s investment objective is to attain a growing stream of current income and appreciation of principal that at least offset inflation.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The fund operates as a diversified investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reported period, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Valuation of Investments
Fair value is defined as the price that the fund could reasonably expect to receive upon selling an asset or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, respectively. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier fair value hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities)
The fund has established a pricing hierarchy to determine the order of pricing sources utilized in valuing its portfolio holdings. The pricing hierarchy has been approved by the TIP board of trustees (the “board”).
Generally, the following valuation policies are applied to securities for which market quotations are readily available. Securities listed on a securities exchange or traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (“NASDAQ”) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their last quoted sales price on the principal exchange on which they are traded or at the NASDAQ official closing price, respectively, on the valuation date or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recently quoted bid price, or asked price in the case of securities sold short. The fund employs an international fair value pricing model using other observable market-based inputs to adjust prices to reflect events affecting the values of certain portfolio securities that occur between the close of trading on the principal market for such securities (foreign exchanges and OTC markets) and the time at which the net asset value of the fund is determined. If the TIP Valuation Committee believes that a particular event would materially affect net asset value, further adjustment is considered. Securities which use the international pricing model are typically categorized as Level 2 for the fair value hierarchy and securities that do not use the international pricing model are typically categorized as Level 1.
TIFF Multi-Asset Fund / Notes to Financial Statements | December 31, 2019 |
Debt securities are valued at prices that reflect broker/dealer-supplied valuations or are obtained from independent pricing services, which consider such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are deemed representative of market values at the close of the market. Debt securities valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 for the fair value hierarchy.
Over-the-counter (“OTC”) stocks not quoted on NASDAQ and foreign stocks that are traded OTC are normally valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services if those prices are deemed representative of market values at the close of the first session of the New York Stock Exchange and are typically categorized as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy.
Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued at their market value. Short-term debt securities, which include repurchase agreements and US Treasury Bills, are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Exchange-traded option contracts are valued at the last quoted sales price or, if there were no sales that day for a particular position, at the closing bid price (closing ask price in the case of open written option contracts). Future contracts are valued at the last posted settlement price or, if there were no sales that day for a particular position, at the closing bid price (closing ask price in the case of open short futures contracts). OTC open options contracts are normally valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services if those prices are deemed representative of market values at the close of the actively quoted markets. Exchange-traded contracts are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy and OTC contracts are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at their respective fair market values and are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in other open-end funds or trusts are valued at their closing net asset value per share on valuation date, which represents their redeemable value and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
MAF invests in both total return equity and total return basket swaps with Morgan Stanley Capital Services LLC as the counterparty. The total return equity swaps are valued at the last traded price of the reference entity net of interest and are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The total return basket swap is valued at the net value of the reference entity provided by the administrator and are typically categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
MAF invests in private investment funds that pursue certain alternative investment strategies. Private investment fund interests held by MAF are generally securities for which market quotations are not readily available. Rather, such interests generally can be sold back to the private investment fund only at specified intervals or on specified dates. The board has approved valuation procedures pursuant to which MAF values its interests in private investment funds at “fair value.” MAF determines the fair value of that private investment fund based on the most recent estimated value provided by the management of the private investment fund, as well as any other relevant information reasonably available at the time MAF values its portfolio including, for example, total returns of indices or exchange-traded funds that track markets to which the private investment fund may be exposed. The fair values of the private investment funds are based on available information and do not necessarily represent the amounts that might ultimately be realized, which depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the investment is actually liquidated. Fair value is intended to represent a good faith approximation of the amount that MAF could reasonably expect to receive from the private investment fund if MAF’s interest in the private investment fund was sold at the time of valuation, based on information reasonably available at the time valuation is made and that MAF believes is reliable. Private investment fund valuations are categorized as Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date on which the buy or sell order is executed) for financial reporting purposes. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The fund accretes discounts or amortizes premiums using the yield-to-maturity method on a daily basis, except for mortgage-backed securities that record paydowns. The fund recognizes paydown gains and losses for such securities and reflects them in investment income. Inflation (deflation) adjustments on inflation-protected securities are included in interest income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities that are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the fund, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. The fund uses the specific identification method for determining realized gain or loss on sales of securities and foreign currency transactions.
TIFF Multi-Asset Fund / Notes to Financial Statements | December 31, 2019 |
Income Taxes
There is no provision for federal income or excise tax since the fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) and intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to RICs and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income. The fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned and gains are recognized.
The fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authorities. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as tax benefits or expenses in the current year. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken or to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2016 − December 31, 2019), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to MAF are charged to the fund’s operations; expenses that are applicable to all TIP funds are allocated based on the relative average daily net assets of each TIP fund.
Dividends to Members
It is the fund’s policy to declare dividends from net investment income quarterly and distributions from capital gains at least annually.
Dividends from net short-term capital gains and net long-term capital gains of the fund, if any, are normally declared and paid in December, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis in accordance with the distribution requirements of the Code. To the extent that a net realized capital gain could be reduced by a capital loss carryover, such gain will not be distributed. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the fund are maintained in US dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars on the following basis:
(i)
the foreign currency value of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into US dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent third party as of the fund’s pricing time on the valuation date;
(ii)
purchases and sales of investments, income, and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
The resulting net realized and unrealized foreign currency gain or loss is included in the Statement of Operations.
The fund does not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Accordingly, such foreign currency gain (loss) is included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. However, the fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign-currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to US federal income tax regulations; such an amount is categorized as foreign currency gain or loss for income tax reporting purposes.
Net realized gains and losses from foreign currency-related transactions represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the US dollar amount actually received.
Net Asset Value
The net asset value per share is calculated on a daily basis by dividing the assets of the fund, less its liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of the fund.

*There are securities categorized as Level 3 that have a market value of zero.
Securities designated as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy are valued using methodologies and procedures established by the board, and the TIP Valuation Committee, which was established to serve as an agent of the board. Management is responsible for the execution of these valuation procedures. Transfers to/from, or additions to, Level 3 require a determination of the valuation methodology, including the use of unobservable inputs, by the TIP Valuation Committee.
The TIP Valuation Committee meets no less than quarterly to review the methodologies and significant unobservable inputs currently in use, and to adjust the pricing models as necessary. Any adjustments to the pricing models are documented in the minutes of the TIP Valuation Committee meetings, which are provided to the board on a quarterly basis.
The following is a summary of the procedures and significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 investments:
Common Stocks, Preferred Stocks, Rights, Warrants and Disputed Claims Receipt. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which available prices are deemed unreliable are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by the board. Such procedures use fundamental valuation methods, which may include, but are not limited to, an analysis of the effect of any restrictions on the resale of the security, industry analysis and trends, significant changes in the issuer’s financial position, and any other event which could have a significant impact on the value of the security. On a quarterly basis, the TIP Valuation Committee reviews the valuations in light of current information available about the issuer, security, or market trends to adjust the pricing models, if deemed necessary.
Private Investment Funds. Private investment funds are valued at fair value using net asset values received on monthly statements, adjusted for the most recent estimated value or performance provided by the management of the private investment fund. In most cases, values are adjusted further by the total returns of indices or exchange-traded funds that track markets to which the private investment fund is fully or partially exposed, as determined by the TIP Valuation Committee upon review of information provided by the private investment fund. On a quarterly basis, the TIP Valuation Committee compares the valuations as determined by the pricing models at each month-end during the quarter to statements provided by management of the private investment funds in order to recalibrate the market exposures, the indices, or exchange-traded funds used in the pricing models as necessary.
Total Return Basket Swaps. The fund held swap contracts during the year that exposed MAF to the returns, either positive or negative, of special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”) that held actively managed portfolios of marketable investments. The SPVs were created by Morgan Stanley Capital Services LLC, the swap counterparty, and had been valued daily by the administrators of the SPVs based on the value of the assets held by the SPVs. Although independently received on a daily basis, the fund did not have the transparency to view the underlying inputs which support the value. Significant changes in the value could have had direct and proportional change in the fair value of the security. There is a third-party pricing exception to the quantitative disclosure requirement when prices are not determined by the reporting entity. The fund is exercising this exception and has made a reasonable attempt to obtain quantitative information from the third-party pricing vendors regarding the unobservable inputs used. These investments were no longer held in the fund at December 31, 2019.

**
Weighted by estimated exposure to chosen indices, exchange-traded funds, other marketable securities or other proxy.
The following are descriptions of the measurement uncertainty of the Level 3 recurring fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs presented in the table above:
Common Stocks, Preferred Stocks, Rights, Warrants, and Disputed Claims Receipt. The chart above reflects the methodology and significant unobservable inputs of securities held as of December 31, 2019. The discounts or estimates for lack of marketability and estimate of future claims used to determine fair value may include other factors such as liquidity, volitility, or credit risk. An increase (decrease) in the discount or estimate of future claims would result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Private Investment Funds. The range of manager estimates and market returns reflected in the above chart identify the range of estimates and returns used in valuing the private investment funds as of December 31, 2019. A significant increase (decrease) in the estimates received from the manager of the private investment funds would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the market return weighted by estimated exposures to chosen indices would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
The table below details the fund’s ability to redeem from private investment funds that are classified as Level 3 assets. The private investment funds in this category generally impose a “lockup” or “gating” provision, which may restrict the timing, amount, or frequency of redemptions. All or a portion of the interests in these privately offered funds generally are deemed to be illiquid.

4. Derivative and Other Financial Instruments
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the fund invested in derivatives, such as but not limited to futures, currency forwards, purchased and written options, and total return equity and basket swaps for hedging, liquidity, index exposure, and active management strategies. Derivatives are used for “hedging” when TIFF Advisory Services, Inc. (“TAS”) or a money manager seeks to protect the fund’s investments from a decline in value. Derivative strategies are also used when TAS or a money manager seeks to increase liquidity, implement a cash management strategy, invest in a particular stock, bond or segment of the market in a more efficient or less expensive way, modify the effective duration of the fund’s portfolio investments and/or for purposes of total return. Depending on the purpose for which the derivative instruments are being used, the successful use of derivative instruments may depend on, among other factors, TAS’s or the money manager’s general understanding of how derivative instruments act in relation to referenced securities or markets but also on market conditions, which are out of control of TAS or the money manager.
Cover for Strategies Using Derivative Instruments
Transactions using derivative instruments, including futures contracts, written options and swaps, expose the fund to an obligation to another party and may give rise to a form of leverage. It is the fund’s policy to segregate assets to cover derivative transactions that might be deemed to create leverage under Section 18 of the 1940 Act. In that regard, the fund will not enter into any such transactions unless it has covered such transactions by owning and segregating either (1) an offsetting (“covered”) position in securities, currencies, or other derivative instruments or (2) cash and/or liquid securities with a value sufficient at all times to cover its potential obligations to the extent not covered as provided in (1) above. When the fund is required to segregate cash or liquid securities, it will instruct its custodian as to which cash holdings or liquid assets are to be marked on the books of the fund or its custodian as segregated for purposes of Section 18 of the 1940 Act. The fund will monitor the amount of these segregated assets on a daily basis and will not enter into additional transactions that would require the segregation of cash or liquid securities unless the fund holds a sufficient amount of cash or liquid securities that can be segregated.
Financial Futures Contracts
The fund may use futures contracts, generally in one of three ways: (1) to gain exposures, both long and short, to the total returns of broad equity indices, globally; (2) to gain exposures, both long and short, to the returns of non-dollar currencies relative to the US dollar; and (3) to manage the duration of the fund’s fixed income holdings to targeted levels.
Futures contracts involve varying degrees of risk. Such risks include the imperfect correlation between the price of a derivative and that of the underlying security and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these securities. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
A financial futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities or other instrument at a set price for delivery at a future date. At the time a futures contract is purchased or sold, the fund must allocate cash or securities as a deposit payment (“initial margin”). An outstanding futures contract is valued daily, and the payment in cash of “variation margin” will be required, a process known as “marking to the market.” Each day, the fund will be required to provide (or will be entitled to receive) variation margin in an amount equal to any decline (in the case of a long futures position) or increase (in the case of a short futures position) in the contract’s value since the preceding day. The daily variation margin is recorded as a receivable or payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded as net realized gain (loss) from financial futures contracts in the Statement of Operations, equal to the difference between the opening and closing values of the contracts.
US futures contracts have been designed by exchanges that have been designated as “contract markets” by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and such contracts must be executed through a futures commission merchant or brokerage firm that is a member of the relevant contract market. Futures contracts may trade on a number of exchange markets, and through their clearing corporations, the exchanges guarantee performance of the contracts as between the clearing members of the exchange, thereby reducing the risk of counterparty default. Securities designated as collateral for market value on futures contracts are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
Swap Contracts
The fund may use swaps and generally uses them in the following ways: (1) to gain exposures, both long and short, to the total returns of broad equity indices; (2) to gain exposure, both long and short, to the total returns of individual equities and bonds; and (3) to gain long-term exposures to the total returns of selected investment strategies. While swaps falling into the first and
TIFF Multi-Asset Fund / Notes to Financial Statements | December 31, 2019 |
third categories are often held for multiple quarters, if not years, swaps in the second category can at times be held for shorter time periods or adjusted frequently based on the managers’ evolving views of the expected risk/reward of the trade.
At the end of the period, the fund maintained long and short total return equity swap contracts to indirectly gain exposure to both long and short total returns of individual equities. During the period, the fund terminated its remaining total return basket swap contracts. The total return basket contracts were held to indirectly gain exposure to investment strategies of selected investment advisors.
Generally, swap agreements are contracts between a fund and another party (the swap counterparty) involving the exchange of payments on specified terms over periods ranging from a few days to multiple years. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded OTC between the two parties (for an uncleared swap) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a Futures Commission Merchant and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty (for a cleared swap). In a basic swap transaction, the fund agrees with the swap counterparty to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) and/or cash flows earned or realized on a particular “notional amount” or value of predetermined underlying reference instruments. The notional amount is the set dollar or other value selected by the parties to use as the basis on which to calculate the obligations that the parties to a swap agreement have agreed to exchange. The parties typically do not actually exchange the notional amount. Instead they agree to exchange the returns that would be earned or realized if the notional amount were invested in given investments or at given interest rates. Examples of returns that may be exchanged in a swap agreement are those of a particular security, a particular fixed or variable interest rate, a particular non-US currency, or a “basket” of securities representing a particular index or portfolio of securities and other instruments. Swaps can also be based on credit and other events.
A fund will generally enter into swap agreements on a net basis, which means that the two payment streams that are to be made by the fund and its counterparty with respect to a particular swap agreement are netted out, with the fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net difference in the two payments. The fund’s obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement that is entered into on a net basis will generally be the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the obligations of each party upon termination of the agreement or at set valuation dates. The fund will accrue its obligations under a swap agreement daily (offset by any amounts the counterparty owes the fund). If the swap agreement does not provide for that type of netting, the full amount of the fund’s obligations will be accrued on a daily basis.
Cleared swaps are subject to mandatory central clearing. Central clearing is designed to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity compared to bilateral swaps because central clearing interposes the central clearinghouse as the counterparty to each participant’s swap, but it does not eliminate those risks completely and may involve additional costs and risks not involved with uncleared swaps.
Upon entering into a swap agreement, the fund may be required to pledge to the swap counterparty an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to the total net amount (if any) that would be payable by the fund to the counterparty if the swap were terminated on the date in question, including any early termination payments. In certain circumstances, the fund may be required to pledge an additional amount, known as an independent amount, which is typically equal to a specified percentage of the notional amount of the trade. In some instances, the independent amount can be a significant percentage of the notional amount. Likewise, the counterparty may be required to pledge cash or other assets to cover its obligations to the fund, net of the independent amount, if any. However, the amount pledged may not always be equal to or more than the amount due to the other party. Therefore, if a counterparty defaults in its obligations to the fund, the amount pledged by the counterparty and available to the fund may not be sufficient to cover all the amounts due to the fund and the fund may sustain a loss. Other risks may apply if an independent amount has been posted.
The fund records a net receivable or payable for the amount expected to be received or paid in the period. Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. The swap is valued at fair market value as determined by valuation models developed and approved in accordance with the fund’s valuation procedures. In addition, the fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the value of foreign currencies change unfavorably to the US dollar.
Options
The fund generally uses options to hedge a portion (but not all) of the downside risk in its long or short equity positions and also opportunistically to generate total returns. The fund may also engage in writing options, for example, to express a long view on a security. When writing a put option, the risk to the fund is equal to the notional value of the position.
Generally, an option is a contract that gives the purchaser of the option, in return for the premium paid, the right to buy a specified security, currency or other instrument (an “underlying instrument”) from the writer of the option (in the case of a call option), or to sell a specified security, currency, or other instrument to the writer of the option (in the case of a put option) at a

designated price during the term of the option or at the expiration date of the option. Put and call options that the fund purchases may be traded on a national securities exchange or in the OTC market. All option positions entered into on a national securities exchange are cleared and guaranteed by the Options Clearing Corporation, thereby reducing the risk of counterparty default. There can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any option purchased.
As the buyer of a call option, the fund has a right to buy the underlying instrument (e.g., a security) at the exercise price at any time during the option period (for American style options) or at the expiration date (for European style options). The fund may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to call options, exercise them, or permit them to expire unexercised. As the buyer of a put option, the fund has the right to sell the underlying instrument at the exercise price at any time during the option period (for American style options) or at the expiration date (for European style options). Like a call option, the fund may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to put options, exercise them or permit them to expire unexercised. When buying options, the fund’s potential loss is limited to the cost (premium plus transaction costs) of the option.
As the writer of a put option, the fund retains the risk of loss should the underlying instrument decline in value. If the value of the underlying instrument declines below the exercise price of the put option and the put option is exercised, the fund, as the writer of the put option, will be required to buy the instrument at the exercise price. The fund will incur a loss to the extent that the current market value of the underlying instrument is less than the exercise price of the put option net of the premium received by the fund for the sale of the put option. If a put option written by the fund expires unexercised, the fund will realize a gain in the amount of the premium received. As the writer of a put option, the fund may be required to pledge cash and/or other liquid assets at least equal to the value of the fund’s obligation under the written put.
The fund may write “covered” call options, meaning that the fund owns the underlying instrument that is subject to the call, or has cash and/or liquid securities with a value at all times sufficient to cover its potential obligations under the option. When the fund writes a covered call option covered by the underlying instrument that is subject to the call, the underlying instruments that are held by the fund and are subject to the call option will be earmarked as segregated on the books of the fund or the fund’s custodian. A fund will be unable to sell the underlying instruments that are subject to the written call option until it either effects a closing transaction with respect to the written call, or otherwise satisfies the conditions for release of the underlying instruments from segregation, for example, by segregating sufficient cash and/or liquid assets necessary to enable the fund to purchase the underlying instrument in the event the call option is exercised by the buyer.
When the fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the fund is included in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These contracts may also involve market risk in excess of the amounts stated in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the fund could be exposed to risk if the counter-parties are unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the value of foreign currencies change unfavorably to the US dollar. The current market value of a written option is the last sale price on the market on which it is principally traded. If the written option expires unexercised, the fund realizes a gain in the amount of the premium received. If the fund enters into a closing transaction, it recognizes a gain or loss, depending on whether the cost of the purchase is less than or greater than the premium received.
Forward Currency Contracts
At times, the fund enters into forward currency contracts to manage the foreign currency exchange risk to which it is subject in the normal course of pursuing international investment objectives. The primary objective of such transactions is to protect (hedge) against a decrease in the US dollar equivalent value of its foreign securities or the payments thereon that may result from an adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates in advance of pending transaction settlements.
A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specific currency for another at a set price on a future date, which is individually negotiated and privately traded by currency traders and their customers in the interbank market. The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward currency contracts are marked-to-market daily, and the change in value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. The fund may either exchange the currencies specified at the maturity of a forward contract or, prior to maturity, enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting forward contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward contracts are usually performed with the counterparty to the original forward contract. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the US dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in US dollars upon closing a contract is included in net realized gain (loss) from forward currency contracts on the Statement of Operations. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the US dollar.
TIFF Multi-Asset Fund / Notes to Financial Statements | December 31, 2019 |
Forward currency contracts held by the fund are fully collateralized by other securities, as disclosed in the accompanying Schedule of Investments. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its market value equals or exceeds the current market value of the corresponding forward currency contracts.
Short Selling
At times, the fund sells securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of such securities or in order to hedge portfolio positions. The fund generally will borrow the security sold in order to make delivery to the buyer. Upon entering into a short position, the fund records the proceeds as a deposit with broker for securities sold short in its Statement of Assets and Liabilities and establishes an offsetting liability for the securities or foreign currencies sold under the short sale agreement. The fund is required to pledge cash or securities to the broker as collateral for the securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Cash collateral deposited at the fund’s custodian for the benefit of the broker is recorded as Deposits with broker for securities sold short on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted on the Schedule of Investments. The liability is marked-to-market while it remains open to reflect the current settlement obligation. Until the security or currency is replaced, the fund is required to pay the lender any dividend or interest earned. Such payments are recorded as expenses to the fund. When a closing purchase is entered into by the fund, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds originally received and the purchase cost is recorded in the Statement of Operations.
In “short selling,” the fund sells borrowed securities or currencies which must at some date be repurchased and returned to the lender. If the market value of securities or currencies sold short increases, the fund may realize losses upon repurchase in amounts which may exceed the liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Further, in unusual circumstances, the fund may be unable to repurchase securities to close its short position except at prices significantly above those previously quoted in the market.
Derivative Disclosure
The fund is a party to agreements which include netting provisions or other similar arrangements. While the terms and conditions of these agreements may vary, all transactions under each such agreements constitute a single contractual relationship, and each party’s obligation to make any payments, deliveries, or other transfers in respect of any transaction under such agreement may be applied against the other party’s obligations under such agreement and netted. A default by a party in performance with respect to one transaction under such an agreement would give the other party the right to terminate all transactions under such agreement and calculate one net amount owed from the defaulting party to the other. The fund is required to disclose positions held at period-end that were entered into pursuant to agreements that allow the fund to net the counterparty’s obligations against those of the fund in the event of a default by the counterparty.

The Quarterly Average % is a representation of the volume of derivative activity. Quarterly Average % was calculated as follows: At each quarter end from and including December 31, 2018 to and including December 31, 2019, the absolute value of the applicable fair value amount was divided by net assets to derive a percentage of net assets for each quarter end. The Quarterly Average % amount represents the average of these five percentages.

(a)
Fee schedules are based on assets under management, irrespective of performance. The fee rate is applied to average net assets.
(b)
Fee schedules embody the concept of a “fulcrum” fee (i.e., a fee midway between the minimum and the maximum). Actual fees paid to such money managers are proportionately related to performance above or below the fulcrum point. The formula is designed to augment the fee if the portfolio’s excess return (i.e., its actual return less the total return of the portfolio’s benchmark) exceeds a specified level and to reduce the fee if the portfolio’s excess return falls below this level. The fee rate is applied to average net assets.
(c)
The performance-based portion of the fee schedule is generally based on a specified percentage of the amount by which the return generated by the money manager’s portfolio exceeds the return of the portfolio’s benchmark or a specified percentage of the net appreciation of the manager’s portfolio over a hurdle, in certain cases subject to a high water mark, a performance fee cap, or the recovery of prior years’ losses, if any. Total returns are generally computed over rolling time periods of varying lengths and are in most cases determined gross of fund expenses and fees, except custodian transaction charges and, in certain cases, the asset-based fee and/or performance-based fee applicable to the money manager’s account.
(d)

(e)
Performance-based fees earned on excess return (portfolio over benchmark) expressed as a percentage of average net assets.
(f)
Performance-based fees earned on excess return (portfolio over benchmark or high water mark) expressed as a percentage of ending net assets for the performance period.

7. Investment Transactions
Cost of investment securities purchased and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, during the year ended December 31, 2019 were as follows:
| | | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Non-US Government Securities | | | | $ | 1,962,569,469 | | | | | $ | 2,636,747,485 | | |
US Government Securities | | | | | 141,757,235 | | | | | | 244,127,064 | | |
8. Federal Tax Information
The cost of investments, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation), and the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments, other than proceeds from securities sold short, at December 31, 2019, are as follows:
| | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | | Tax Cost of Investments | |
Investments in securities | | | | $ | 290,408,876 | | | | | | (220,384,788) | | | | | | 70,024,088 | | | | | | 1,834,128,448 | | |
Securities sold short | | | | | 2,791,087 | | | | | | (32,405,305) | | | | | | (29,614,218) | | | | | | (133,468,546) | | |
| | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | | Tax Cost of Derivatives | |
Purchased option contracts | | | | | — | | | | | | (1,184,132) | | | | | | (1,184,132) | | | | | | 1,761,018 | | |
Financial futures contracts | | | | | — | | | | | | — | | | | | | — | | | | | | 1,394,707 | | |
Forward currency contracts | | | | | — | | | | | | (11,804) | | | | | | (11,804) | | | | | | 841,885 | | |
Swap contracts | | | | | 281,072 | | | | | | — | | | | | | 281,072 | | | | | | (15,202) | | |
Written option contracts | | | | | — | | | | | | (1,817) | | | | | | (1,817) | | | | | | (105,860) | | |
The difference between the tax cost of investments and the cost of investments for GAAP purposes is primarily due to the tax treatment of wash sale losses, mark to market on derivatives, mark to market on passive foreign investment companies, total return swaps, partnerships, and tax adjustments related to holding offsetting positions such as constructive sales.
TIFF Multi-Asset Fund / Notes to Financial Statements | December 31, 2019 |
Dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the fund made reclassifications between components that make up net assets primarily due to foreign currency gains/(losses), partnership gains/(losses), net operating loss, swap income, capitalized short dividends, and passive foreign investment companies.
At December 31, 2019, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis detailed below differ from the amounts reflected in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences, largely arising from wash sales, partnership income, passive foreign investment companies, financial futures transactions, constructive sales, and straddle deferral.
| Undistributed (Distribution in Excess of) Ordinary Income | | | Undistributed Capital Gains | | | (Accumulated Capital and Other Losses) | | | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) (a) | |
| $— | | | | $ | 2,930,292 | | | | | $ | — | | | | | $ | 26,938,334 | | |
(a)
Includes unrealized appreciation on investments, short sales, derivatives, and foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, if any.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the fund utilized $197,268,578 of prior year capital loss carry forwards to offset current year capital gains.
The amount and character of tax basis distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are detailed below. Certain differences may exist from the amounts reflected in the fund’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets primarily due to the character of foreign currency gains/(losses) and net short-term capital gains treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.
| 2019 | | | | 2018 | |
| Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital gain | | | Return of Capital | | | Total | | | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Return of Capital | | | Total | |
| | $ | — | | | | | $ | — | | | | | $ | — | | | | | $ | — | | | | | | $ | 128,469,575 | | | | | $ | 58,490,782 | | | | | $ | 21,207,626 | | | | | $ | 208,167,983 | | |
9. Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements
The fund will engage in repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions under the terms of master repurchase agreements with parties approved by TAS or the relevant money manager.
In a repurchase agreement, the fund buys securities from a counterparty (e.g., typically a member bank of the Federal Reserve system or a securities firm that is a primary or reporting dealer in US Government securities) with the agreement that the counterparty will repurchase them at the same price plus interest at a later date. In certain instances, the fund may enter into repurchase agreements with one counterparty, but face another counterparty at settlement. Repurchase agreements may be characterized as loans secured by the underlying securities. Such transactions afford an opportunity for the fund to earn a return on available cash at minimal market risk, although the fund may be subject to various delays and risks of loss if the counterparty becomes subject to a proceeding under the US Bankruptcy Code or is otherwise unable to meet its obligation to repurchase the securities. In transactions that are considered to be collateralized fully, the securities underlying a repurchase agreement will be marked to market every business day so that the value of such securities is at least equal to the repurchase price thereof, including accrued interest.
In a reverse repurchase agreement, the fund sells US Government securities and simultaneously agrees to repurchase them at an agreed-upon price and date. The difference between the amount the fund receives for the securities and the additional amount it pays on repurchase is deemed to be a payment of interest. Reverse repurchase agreements create leverage, a speculative factor, but will not be considered borrowings for the purposes of limitations on borrowings. When a fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it must segregate on its or its custodian’s books cash and/or liquid securities in an amount equal to the amount of the fund’s obligation (cost) to repurchase the securities, including accrued interest.
TIFF Multi-Asset Fund / Notes to Financial Statements | December 31, 2019 |
The following table presents the fund’s repurchase agreements net of amounts available for offset and net of the related collateral received as of December 31, 2019:
Counterparty | | | Assets Subject to a Netting Provision or Similar Arrangement | | | Liabilities Available for Offset | | | Collateral Received | | | Net Amount | |
Fixed Income Clearing Corp. | | | | $ | 182,810,826 | | | | | $ | — | | | | | $ | (182,810,826) | | | | | $ | — | | |

Please see Note 4, Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments, for further discussion of netting provisions and similar arrangements.
10. Capital Share Transactions
While there are no sales commissions (loads) or 12b-1 fees, MAF assesses entry and exit fees of 0.50% of capital invested or redeemed. These fees, which are paid to the fund directly, not to TAS or other vendors supplying services to the fund, are designed, in part, to protect non-transacting members from bearing the transaction costs, including market impact, that may arise from a transacting member’s purchases, exchanges, and redemptions of MAF shares. They are also designed to encourage investment only by members with a long-term investment horizon. Further, they are designed to discourage market timing or other inappropriate short-term trading by members. The entry and exit fees are assessed irrespective of the length of time a member’s shares are held. These fees are deducted from the amount invested or redeemed; they cannot be paid separately. Entry and exit fees may be waived at TAS’s discretion when the purchase or redemption will not result in significant transaction costs for the fund (e.g., for transactions involving in-kind purchases and redemptions). Such fees are retained by the fund and included in proceeds from shares sold or deducted from distributions for redemptions.
Members of the fund have the ability to elect a systematic withdrawal plan option and can redeem up to 6% of the value of their account each fiscal year without paying the 0.50% exit fee normally assessed on redemptions, subject to certain conditions. Members that elect to take this systematic withdrawal option enhancement will be required to reinvest their quarterly dividends and distributions.
11. Concentration of Risks
MAF may engage in transactions with counterparties, including but not limited to repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, forward contracts, futures and options, and total return, credit default, interest rate, and currency swaps. The fund may be subject to various delays and risks of loss if the counterparty becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its obligations.
The fund engages multiple external money managers, each of which manages a portion of the fund’s assets. A multi-manager fund entails the risk, among others, that the advisor may not be able to (1) identify and retain money managers who achieve superior investment returns relative to similar investments; (2) combine money managers in the fund such that their investment styles are complementary; or (3) allocate cash among the money managers to enhance returns and reduce volatility or risk of loss relative to a fund with a single manager.
The fund invests in private investment funds that entail liquidity risk to the extent they are difficult to sell or convert to cash quickly at favorable prices.
The fund invests in fixed income securities issued by banks and other financial companies, the market values of which may change in response to interest rate fluctuations. Although the fund generally maintains a diversified portfolio, the ability of the issuers of the fund’s portfolio securities to meet their obligations may be affected by changing business and economic conditions in a specific industry, state, or region.
The fund invests in US Government securities. Because of the rising US Government debt burden, it is possible that the US Government may not be able to meet its financial obligations or that securities issued or backed by the US Government may experience credit downgrades. Such a credit event may adversely affect the financial markets.
The fund invests in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the US, a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.
TIFF Multi-Asset Fund / Notes to Financial Statements | December 31, 2019 |
The fund invests in small capitalization stocks. These investments may entail different risks than larger capitalizations stocks, including potentially lesser degrees of liquidity.
The fund may engage in short sales in which it sells a security it does not own. To complete such a transaction, the fund must borrow or otherwise obtain the security to make delivery to the buyer. The fund then is obligated to replace the borrowed security by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the fund. The fund’s investment performance will suffer if a security that it has sold short appreciates in value.
12. Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
13. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events and has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of TIFF Investment Program and Shareholders of TIFF Multi-Asset Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (one of the funds constituting TIFF Investment Program, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements of the Fund as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2015 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 29, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

TIFF Multi-Asset Fund | December 31, 2019 |
| Approval of Money Manager Agreements (Unaudited) | |
During an in-person meeting held on September 25, 2019 (the “September Meeting”), the board of trustees of TIFF Investment Program (“TIP”), all of whom are not “interested persons” of TIP (the “board” or “trustees”), as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), evaluated and approved a money manager agreement between TIP and Keel Capital AB (“Keel”) a new money manager proposed to manage assets on behalf of TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (“Multi-Asset Fund” or “MAF”).
Approval of the Money Manager Agreement between TIP and Keel
During the September Meeting, the board evaluated and approved the money manager agreement for Multi-Asset Fund with a new money manager, Keel (the “Keel Agreement”). In this regard, the board requested and considered a wide range of information from Keel and TIFF Advisory Services, Inc. (“TAS”), the investment advisor to Multi-Asset Fund, in advance of the September Meeting, and at the September Meeting the trustees reviewed this information with TAS staff and separately in executive session with the trustees’ independent legal counsel. Among other matters, the board considered information regarding Keel’s personnel and services, investment strategies and philosophies and portfolio management, including the experience of Keel’s investment personnel. The board also considered Keel’s potential portfolio holdings, fees and expenses, and information detailing the performance of Keel’s investment strategies. The board noted that the proposed management fee for the investment strategy to be implemented by Keel on behalf of Multi-Asset Fund included a performance fee that aligned Keel’s interests with those of Multi-Asset Fund and payments to directly compensate Keel for third-party research costs. Information about Keel’s proposed brokerage practices and best execution policies was also provided. In addition, the board considered information with respect to the compliance and administration of Keel, including, but not limited to, its code of ethics and business continuity procedures, as well as information concerning any material violations of such compliance programs, the background of the individual serving as the chief compliance officer, and disclosure about regulatory examinations or other inquiries and litigation proceedings affecting Keel.
The board also considered a memorandum from its independent counsel setting forth the board’s fiduciary duties and responsibilities under the 1940 Act and applicable state law and the factors the board should consider in its evaluation of the Keel Agreement. The board also reviewed Keel’s responses to a questionnaire prepared by the trustees’ independent counsel requesting information necessary for the trustees’ evaluation of the Keel Agreement. In addition, during the September Meeting, TAS staff (1) reviewed the process undertaken and due diligence performed in assessing Keel as a possible money manager for Multi-Asset Fund, and (2) responded to additional questions from the board regarding, among other things, Keel’s operating structure and compliance program, including information about Keel’s operational and compliance staffing and the level of resources dedicated to Keel’s compliance functions.
The board also considered a number of additional factors in evaluating the Keel Agreement. The board considered the advisory services Keel was expected to provide to MAF; the investment risks presented by the investment strategy that Keel intended to employ; the potential benefits of including Keel as a money manager to MAF; operational matters and additional costs related to the implementation of Keel’s investment strategies and related risks, and other information deemed relevant.
The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the services expected to be provided under the Keel Agreement. The board based its evaluation on the material factors presented to it at the September Meeting and discussed above, including: (1) the terms of the agreement; (2) the reasonableness of the money manager’s fees in light of the nature and quality of the services to be provided and any additional benefits to be received by Keel in connection with providing services to Multi-Asset Fund; (3) the nature, quality, and extent of the services expected to be performed by Keel; and (4) the nature and expected effects of adding Keel as a money manager to Multi-Asset Fund. The board did not specifically consider the profitability of Keel expected to result from its relationship with Multi-Asset Fund because Keel is not affiliated with TAS or TIP, except by virtue of serving as a money manager, and the fees to be paid to Keel were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis in a competitive marketplace.
In arriving at its decision to approve the Keel Agreement, the board did not single out any one factor or group of factors as being more important than the other factors, but considered all of these factors together. After carefully considering the information summarized above and all factors deemed to be relevant, the board voted to approve the Keel Agreement. Prior to the vote being taken, the board met separately in executive session to discuss the appropriateness of the Keel Agreement and other considerations.
TIFF Multi-Asset Fund | December 31, 2019 |
In their deliberations with respect to these matters, the trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel. The trustees weighed the foregoing matters in light of the advice given to them by their independent legal counsel as to the law applicable to the consideration of investment advisory contracts. The trustees concluded that the Keel Agreement was reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of Multi-Asset Fund and its members, and that the fees provided in the Keel Agreement were fair and reasonable. In the board’s view, approving the Keel Agreement was desirable and in the best interests of Multi-Asset Fund and its members.
TIFF Multi-Asset Fund | December 31, 2019 |
65/35 Mix, calculated by TAS, consists of 65% MSCI All Country World Index and 35% Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index. Weights are rebalanced by TAS at each month-end; those from July 1, 2009, through December 31, 2015, reflected quarter-end rebalancing.
Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index tracks the broad US bond market.
Bloomberg Commodity Index tracks prices of futures contracts on physical commodities on the commodity markets.
BofA Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index tracks the current 6-month US Treasury bill.
Consumer Price Index + 5% per annum is based on the Consumer Price Index-All Urban Consumers (CPI- U), a widely recognized measure of US inflation that represents changes in the prices paid by consumers for a representative basket of goods and services. CPI + 5% per annum was selected as the primary benchmark for TIFF Multi-Asset Fund because, in the opinion of TIP’s directors, it reflects the two-fold objectives of maintaining an endowment’s purchasing power (i.e., keeping pace with inflation) while complying with the 5% payout requirement to which most TIFF members are subject. CSI 300 Index tracks 300 stocks traded in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges.
CSI 300 Index tracks 300 stocks traded in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges.
FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index tracks the performance of listed real estate companies and REITS worldwide.
MAF Constructed Index (CI) is a blended index now comprised of three broad investment categories, weighted according to policy norms, with each category assigned a benchmark selected by TAS. Effective October 1, 2015, the CI is comprised of the following investment categories and weights: equity-oriented assets (65%), diversifying strategies (hedge funds and other) (20%), and fixed income (including cash)(15%). The benchmarks for the investment categories are MSCI All Country World Index for equity, Merrill Lynch Factor Model for diversifying strategies, and 2/3 Bloomberg Barclays US Intermediate Treasury Index and 1/3 BofA Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index for the fixed income category. Performance of the CI generated from July 1, 2009, through September 30, 2015, was reduced by 20 basis points (or 0.20%) per annum, prorated monthly. This reduction reflected an estimate of the costs of investing in the CI’s asset segments through index funds or other instruments. (One cannot invest directly in an index and unmanaged indices do not incur fees and expenses.) The reported performance of the CI would increase in the absence of a 20 basis point reduction. CI weights are rebalanced by TAS at each month-end; those from July 1, 2009, through December 31, 2015, reflected quarter-end rebalancing. Actual weights in MAF tend to vary over time. Historical performance for the CI is not adjusted when the composition of the CI changes. Therefore, past performance reflects the allocations, segment weights, and segment benchmarks that were in place at the time the performance was generated. TAS has changed the composition of the CI over time, including the most recent change (effective October 1, 2015) from a CI comprised of various asset segments to a CI comprised of three broad categories. In the past TAS has changed the CI policy norms (or weights), asset segments, and segment benchmarks. TAS’s on-going review of the CI may cause TAS to make additional changes in the future.
Merrill Lynch Factor Model (“MLFM”) is a model established by Merrill Lynch International that is designed to provide a high correlation to hedge fund beta, which is the component of the performance of a relatively diversified group of hedge funds comprising the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index (“HFRI”) that may be correlated to and replicated by non-hedge fund, transparent market measures such as the 6 factors that comprise the MLFM. (The HFRI is designed to reflect hedge fund industry performance through an equally weighted composite of over 2,000 constituent funds.) The MLFM implements an investment strategy intended to track the aggregated performance of the hedge fund universe with liquid, publicly traded components. Using a rules-based, discretion-free algorithm the MLFM allocates long and short exposures to the S&P 500 Total Return Index, the Russell 2000 Total Return Index, the MSCI EAFE US Dollar Net Total Return Index, the MSCI Emerging Markets US Dollar Net Total Return Index, the Euro currency (represented by the EUR-USD Spot Exchange Rate) and cash (represented by the one-month USD LIBOR). On a monthly basis the weights of the components are recalculated using a methodology designed to maximize correlation with the HFRI. Weightings for all of the factors may be negative, except with respect to the MSCI Emerging Markets US Dollar Net Total Return Index. The MLFM was launched in June 2006. The MLFM is not comprised of any hedge fund or group of hedge funds. There is no guarantee that the MLFM will successfully provide the risk/return characteristics of a broad universe of hedge funds, as measured by HFRI or any other hedge fund benchmark, or achieve a high correlation with the HFRI or with hedge fund beta generally. Performance differences between the MLFM and HFRI are expected to be material at times.

Strategy Overview
TIFF Short-Term Fund (“STF” or the “fund”) invests primarily in US Treasury bills as it pursues its goal of tracking the benchmark BofA Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index, gross of fees and expenses. Very small fractions of STF’s capital not appropriate for investment in T-bills for administrative reasons are invested routinely in repurchase agreement transactions fully collateralized by US Treasury obligations. Short-term (6-month) US Treasury debt yielded approximately 1.59% as of December 31, 2019. The Federal Reserve lowered its target range for the Federal Funds rate three times in 2019, starting at the range of 2.25% − 2.50% and ending at the range of 1.50% − 1.75%. If short-term yields remain constant or rise, STF should continue to generate positive returns in 2020, though there can be no assurance this will occur.
Performance Review
All eyes were on the short-term Treasury market this year as the Federal Reserve Board reversed course by stopping the sale of assets (quantitative tightening) that were previously purchased under the “quantitative easing” policy, and by cutting the Federal Funds target interest rate for the first time in a decade. These cuts helped to offset effects on the economy from the previous tightening and the “trade war” with China. The yield curve inverted mid-year, raising concerns about an impending recession, but returned to normal in Q4. Toward the end of the year, a brief liquidity crisis in the repo market caused short-term interest rates to spike as available cash was too scarce to meet demand. The Federal Reserve injected a half trillion dollars into the overnight repo market to provide short-term funding and manage the short-term interest rates, bringing rates right back down. As the year began, we expected that STF would produce a positive return, and it did so, gaining 2.20% in 2019. As noted previously in this space, STF’s performance lagged its benchmark slightly for a couple of basic reasons. First, the fund’s duration (and hence gross yield) was slightly less than its benchmark, costing the fund approximately 10 basis points; and second, administrative and rebalancing costs negatively impact reported performance by approximately 27 basis points. The rebalancing portion of these costs results from our effort to keep duration, or interest rate sensitivity, close to that of STF’s performance benchmark. The BofA Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index, which has no rebalancing or administrative costs, returned 2.57% for the year. We have the discretion to “roll” holdings not precisely when the benchmark’s constituent securities “roll” but a bit more opportunistically, taking anticipated trading costs and cash on hand plus other variables into account.

| Performance data quoted represent past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 610-684-8200 or visiting https://tipfunds.org/files/performance/Mutual%20Fund%20Standardized%20Performance.pdf. While the fund is no-load, management fees and other expenses will apply. Please refer to the prospectus for further details. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise although the risk is less for short-term debt securities than for longer-term debt securities. | |

Total return assumes dividend reinvestment. STF’s annualized expense ratio for calendar year 2018 is 0.23% (a regulatory mandate requires the use in this report of the same expense ratio as shown in the latest fund prospectus). The expense ratio reflects fund expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are expected to vary over time. The expense ratio is expressed as a percentage of average net assets. The expense ratio will differ for 2019.
Commencement of operations was May 31, 1994.

The BofA Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index comprises a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. At the end of the month, that issue is sold and rolled into a newly selected issue. The issue selected at each month-end rebalancing is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, six months from the rebalancing date. To qualify for selection, an issue must have settled on or before the month-end rebalancing date. While the index will often hold the Treasury Bill issued at the most recent or prior 6-month auction, it is also possible for a seasoned 6-month or 1-year Bill to be selected. One cannot invest directly in an index.

| Fund Expenses (Unaudited) | |
As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| | | Beginning Account Value 7/1/19 | | | Ending Account Value 12/31/19 | | | Expenses Paid During the Period* 7/1/19 – 12/31/19 | |

2) Hypothetical | | | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | | | $ | 1,023.89 | | | | | $ | 1.33 | | |
*
Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.26% (calculated over a six-month period, which may differ from the fund’s actual expense ratio for the full year), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

TIFF Short-Term Fund / Notes to Financial Statements | December 31, 2019 |
1. Organization
TIFF Investment Program (“TIP”) is a no-load, open-end management investment company that seeks to improve the net investment returns of its members through two investment vehicles, each with its own investment objective and policies. TIP was originally incorporated under Maryland law on December 23, 1993, and was reorganized, effective December 16, 2014, as a Delaware statutory trust. As of December 31, 2019, TIP consisted of two mutual funds, TIFF Multi-Asset Fund and TIFF Short-Term Fund (“STF” or the “fund”), each of which is diversified, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The financial statements and notes presented here relate only to STF.
Investment Objective
STF’s investment objective is to attain as high a rate of current income as is consistent with ensuring that the fund’s risk of principal loss does not exceed that of a portfolio invested in six-month US Treasury bills.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The fund operates as a diversified investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reported period, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Valuation of Investments
Fair value is defined as the price that the fund could reasonable expect to receive upon selling an asset or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, respectively. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier fair value hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities)
Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost using straight-line amortization, which approximates fair value, and short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued at their market value. Short-term debt securities are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, all of the fund’s investments were valued using Level 2 inputs; therefore, there were no transfers to or from Level 3 investments.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date on which the buy or sell order is executed) for financial reporting purposes. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The fund accretes discounts or amortizes premiums using the yield-to-maturity method on a daily basis.
TIFF Short-Term Fund / Notes to Financial Statements | December 31, 2019 |
Income Taxes
There is no provision for federal income or excise tax since the fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) and intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to RICs and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income.
The fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authorities. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as tax benefits or expenses in the current year. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2016 − December 31, 2019), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the fund’s financial statements.
Expenses
Expenses directly attributable to STF are charged to that fund’s operations; expenses that are applicable to all TIP funds are allocated among them based on the relative average daily net assets of each TIP fund.
Dividends to Members
It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends, if any, from net investment income monthly and capital gains distributions at least annually.
Dividends from net short-term capital gains and net long-term capital gains of the fund, if any, are normally declared and paid in December, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis in accordance with the distribution requirements of the Code. To the extent that a net realized capital gain could be reduced by a capital loss carryover, such gain will not be distributed. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Net Asset Value
The net asset value per share is calculated on a daily basis by dividing the fund’s assets, less its liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of the fund.

TIP’s board of trustees (the “board”) has approved an investment advisory agreement with TIFF Advisory Services, Inc. (“TAS”), an affiliate of TIP. The fund pays TAS a monthly fee calculated by applying the annual rates set forth below to the fund’s average daily net assets for the month:
Assets | | | | | | | |
On the first $1 billion | | | | | 0.03% | | |
On the next $1 billion | | | | | 0.02% | | |
On the remainder (> $2 billion) | | | | | 0.01% | | |
Fees for such services paid to TAS by the fund are reflected as investment advisory fees on the Statement of Operations. As of December 31, 2019, $1,901 remained payable and are included in investment advisory and administrative fees on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
TAS provides certain administrative services to TIP under a services agreement. For these services, the fund pays a monthly fee calculated by applying an annual rate of 0.01% to the fund’s average daily net assets for the month. Fees for such services paid to TAS by the fund are reflected as administrative fees on the Statement of Operations. As of December 31, 2019, $634 remained payable and are included in investment advisory and administrative fees on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
TIP has designated an employee of TAS as its Chief Compliance Officer. For these services provided to TIP, which include the monitoring of TIP’s compliance program pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act, TIP reimburses TAS. STF pays a pro rata portion of such costs based on its share of TIP’s net assets. The costs for such services paid to TAS by the fund were $6,053 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and are included in Chief Compliance Officer’s costs and Trustee’s fees on the Statement of Operations. As of December 31, 2019, no amount remained payable.
TIP’s board, all of whom are considered “disinterested trustees” as defined in the 1940 Act, serve as volunteers and receive no fees or salary for their service as board members. The independent chair of the board received compensation of $1,475 from STF for the year ended December 31, 2019 for service as independent chair. Fees paid for such services are included in Chief Compliance Officer’s costs and Trustee’s fees on the Statement of Operations. As of December 31, 2019, $354 remained payable and are reflected as Trustee’s fees on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

4. Fund Administration and Custody Agreement
Pursuant to a series of agreements, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) earns a fee for providing core fund administration, fund accounting, custody, and transfer agent services. Fees paid for non-core services rendered by State Street include, but are not limited to, transactions entered into by the fund during the period, and out-of-pocket expenses. Fees for such services paid to State Street by the fund are reflected as fund administration and custody fees on the Statement of Operations. As of December 31, 2019, $47,480 remained payable and reflected as fund administrative and custody fees on Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
5. Federal Tax Information
For federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investment securities, at December 31, 2019 are as follows:
| Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | | Cost | |
| $9,110 | | | $(437) | | | $8,673 | | | $78,878,030 | |
Dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, no reclassifications were necessary.
The components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis detailed below could differ from the amounts reflected in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no such differences.
| Undistributed (Distribution in Excess of) Ordinary Income | | | Undistributed Capital Gains | | | (Accumulated Capital and Other Losses) | | | Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation) | | | Qualified Later-year Losses | |
| $4 | | | | $ | — | | | | | $ | (15,400) | | | | | $ | 8,673 | | | | | $ | — | | |
The amount and character of tax basis distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are detailed below. Certain differences exist from the amounts reflected in the fund’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets primarily due to the character of foreign currency gains/(losses) and net short-term capital gains treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.
| 2019 | | | | 2018 | |
| Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital gain | | | Return of Capital | | | Total | | | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Return of Capital | | | Total | |
| $1,532,333 | | | | $ | — | | | | | $ | — | | | | | $ | 1,532,333 | | | | | | $ | 1,386,422 | | | | | $ | — | | | | | $ | — | | | | | $ | 1,386,422 | | |
6. Repurchase Agreements
The fund will engage in repurchase transactions under the terms of master repurchase agreements with parties approved by TAS.
In a repurchase agreement, the fund buys securities from a counterparty (e.g., typically a member bank of the Federal Reserve system or a securities firm that is a primary or reporting dealer in US Government securities) with the agreement that the counterparty will repurchase them at the same price plus interest at a later date. In certain instances, the fund may enter into repurchase agreements with one counterparty, but face another counterparty at settlement. Repurchase agreements may be characterized as loans secured by the underlying securities. Such transactions afford an opportunity for the fund to earn a return on available cash at minimal market risk, although the fund may be subject to various delays and risks of loss if the counterparty becomes subject to a proceeding under the US Bankruptcy Code or is otherwise unable to meet its obligation to
TIFF Short-Term Fund / Notes to Financial Statements | December 31, 2019 |
repurchase the securities. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the custodial bank until maturity of the repurchase agreements. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and the procedures adopted by the fund require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, be at least equal to the value of the securities sold or purchased in order to protect against loss in the event of default by the counterparty.
Counterparty | | | Assets Subject to a Netting Provision or Similar Arrangement | | | Liabilities Available for Offset | | | Collateral Received | | | Net Amount | |
Fixed Income Clearing Corp. | | | | $ | 3,303,079 | | | | | $ | — | | | | | $ | (3,303,079) | | | | | $ | — | | |
Total | | | | $ | 3,303,079 | | | | | $ | — | | | | | $ | (3,303,079) | | | | | $ | — | | |
7. Concentration of Risks
The fund may engage in transactions with counterparties, including but not limited to repurchase agreements. The fund may be subject to various delays and risks of loss if the counterparty becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its obligations.
The fund invests in US Government securities. Because of the rising US Government debt burden, it is possible that the US Government may not be able to meet its financial obligations or that securities issued or backed by the US Government may experience credit downgrades. Such a credit event may adversely affect the financial markets.
From time to time, a fund may have members that hold significant portions of the fund’s outstanding shares. Investment activities of such members could have a material impact on the fund. As of December 31, 2019, TAS, the advisor to the fund, owned 41% of STF.
8. Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the fund and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
9. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events and has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of TIFF Investment Program and Shareholders of TIFF Short-Term Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of TIFF Short-Term Fund (one of the funds constituting TIFF Investment Program, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements of the Fund as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2015 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 29, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and broker; when a reply was not received from the broker, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
