(Semi-Annual Report for the period 01/01/2017 through 06/30/2017 is filed herewith)
The Investment Fund for Foundations (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 fund’s 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 Semi-Annual Report for the period ended June 30, 2017. Additional information regarding the performance of the mutual funds described herein has been provided to members via the TIFF Multi-Asset Fund quarterly reports and at www.tiff.org for STF reporting.
As always, we welcome the opportunity to discuss any aspect of TIFF’s services as well as answer any questions about these financial statements. For further information about TIFF, please call us at 610-684-8200 or visit www.tiff.org.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
TIFF Multi-Asset Fund | June 30, 2017 |
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 January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017.
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 0.93% (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 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Excluding interest and dividend expense, expenses incurred by the fund were 0.92%. 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. |
| ** | Interest expense may be related to interest paid on securities sold short or derivative instruments; dividend expense may be related to dividends paid on securities sold short. |

| (b) | Total return assumes dividend reinvestment and includes the effects of entry and exit fees received by the fund; however, it does not reflect the deduction of such fees from a member’s purchase or redemption transaction. Therefore, a member’s total return for the period, assuming a purchase at the beginning of the period and a redemption at the end of the period, would be lower by the amount of entry and exit fees paid by the member. |
| (d) | The expense ratio does 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. |

| * | Approximately 8% of the fund’s total investments are maintained to cover “senior securities transactions” which may include, but are not limited to forwards, TBAs, options, and futures. These securities are marked-to-market daily and reviewed against the value of the fund’s “senior securities” holdings to maintain proper coverage for the transactions. |
| (a) | Non income-producing security. |
| (b) | Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. These securities have been determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures approved by the board of trustees. |
| (c) | Security is valued in good faith under procedures established by the board of trustees. The aggregate amount of securities fair valued amounts to $742,516,654, which represents 19.0% of the fund’s net assets. |
| (d) | Security exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to investors outside the United States. |
| (e) | Portfolio holdings information of the Private Investment Funds is not available as of June 30, 2017. These positions are therefore grouped into their own industry classification. |
| (f) | Restricted Securities. The following restricted securities were held by the fund as of June 30, 2017, and were valued in accordance with the Valuation of Investments as described in Note 2. Such securities generally may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction with a limited number of purchasers. The fund will bear any costs incurred in connection with the disposition of such securities. The fund monitors the acquisition of restricted securities and, to the extent that a restricted security is illiquid, will limit the purchase of such a restricted security, together with other illiquid securities held by the fund, to no more than 15% of the fund's net assets. All of the below securities are illiquid, with the exception of Canyon Value Realization Fund, LP, AJO Emerging Markets Hedge Fund, LP and AJO Emerging Markets Offshore Fund, Ltd. TIP’s valuation committee has deemed 10% of Canyon Value Realization Fund, LP and 5% of AJO Emerging Markets Hedge Fund, LP and AJO Emerging Markets Offshore Fund, Ltd., respectively, to be illiquid in accordance with procedures approved by the TIP board of trustees. The below list does not include securities eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 that may also be deemed restricted. |

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 June 30, 2017, 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
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 National Market System (“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. 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. 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. 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. Exchange-traded and OTC options and futures 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 and written option sales contracts). Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at their respective fair market values. 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. 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”).
The fund employs a fair value model 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.
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
TABLE OF CONTENTS

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.
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, the 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. Determination of fair value involves subjective judgment as the actual market value of a particular security can be established only by negotiations between the parties in a sales transaction, and the difference between the recorded fair value and the value that would be received in a sale could be significant.
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 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 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)

During the period ended June 30, 2017, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments, or Level 3 investments that had a significant impact to the fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments due to the fund utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair valuation procedures described earlier within Note 1, international fair value pricing of securities occurs on certain portfolio securities when available. International fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded, causing a change in classification between levels. The fund recognizes transfers into and transfers out of the valuation levels at the beginning of the reporting period.

* There are Common Stocks 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 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.
Swap Contracts. The swap contracts held expose MAF to the returns, either positive or negative, of special purpose vehicles (SPVs) that hold actively managed portfolios of marketable investments. The SPVs were created by Morgan Stanley Capital Services LLC, the swap counterparty, and are 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 does not have the transparency to view the underlying inputs which support the value. Significant changes in the value would have direct and proportional changes 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.
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.
The valuation techniques and significant observable inputs used in recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of assets were as follows:
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
As of June 30, 2017 | | Fair Value | | Valuation Methodology | | Significant Unobservable Inputs | | Range | | Weighted Average |
Common Stocks | | $ | — | | | | Last market price | | | | Discount (%) | | | | 100% | | | | 100% | |
Disputed Claims Receipt | | | 398,293 | | | | Corporate action model | | | | Future claim awards | | | | — | | | | — | |
Private Investment Funds | | | 696,113,147 | | | | Adjusted net asset value | | | | Manager estimates | | | | (2.37)% – 3.80% | | | | 0.60% | |
| | | | | | | | | | | Market returns* | | | | (3.10)% – 39.49% | | | | (0.07)% | |
| * | Weighted by estimated exposure to chosen indices or exchange-traded funds. |
The following are descriptions of the sensitivity of the Level 3 recurring fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs presented in the table above:
Common Stocks and Disputed Claims Receipt. The methodology and unobservable inputs in the above chart reflect the methodology and significant unobservable inputs of securities held at period ended June 30, 2017. The discount for lack of marketability used to determine fair value may include other factors such as liquidity or credit risk. An increase (decrease) in the discount would result in a lower or 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 at period ended June 30, 2017. 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 or 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.

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.
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, 2013 through December 31, 2016), 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.
3. Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments
During the period ended June 30, 2017, the fund invested in derivatives, such as but not limited to futures, currency forwards, purchased and written options, and total return 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.

TIFF Multi-Asset Fund / Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | June 30, 2017 |
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 stocks and bonds and (3) to gain long-term exposures to the total returns of selected investment strategies. While swaps falling into the first and 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.
The fund maintained four swap contracts in order to indirectly gain exposure to the investment strategies of selected investment advisors. With Morgan Stanley Capital Services LLC as the counterparty, MAF entered into a total return swap with respect to each investment strategy to which it sought exposure. Under each swap, MAF receives the return (or pays, if the return is negative) of a special purpose vehicle that invests in accordance with the applicable strategy and pays one-month Libor + an additional interest rate. The four strategies held at period end are described below.
KCP Segregated Portfolio:
The typical portfolio construction is a US focused long-short portfolio. The long portfolio is passive equity exposure (primarily S&P 500, S&P 400, and Russell 2000) and the short portfolio is security-specific positions selected by the manager.
KGCP Segregated Portfolio:
The typical portfolio construction is a global looking long-short portfolio. The long portfolio is passive equity exposure (primarily MSCI ACWI and MSCI USA) and the short portfolio is security-specific positions selected by the manager.
Welton Nexus Segregated Portfolio:
The typical portfolio construction is a market neutral statistical arbitrage strategy in which computers attempt to identify and take advantage of small mispricings between stocks across North America and Europe.

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. Refer to written options table on page 40 for information on written option activity during the period.
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.
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 cash is retained by the fund’s broker as collateral for the short position. The fund must also post an additional amount of margin of 50% of the value of the short sale. Additional margin may be required as the value of the borrowed security fluctuates. 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.

Interest Only Securities
The fund may invest in interest only securities (“IOs”), which entitle the holder to the interest payments in a pool of mortgages, Treasury bonds, or other bonds. With respect to mortgage-backed IOs, if the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a portfolio may fail to recoup fully its initial investment in an IO. The fair market value of these securities is volatile in response to changes in interest rates.
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.
At June 30, 2017, the fund’s derivative assets and liabilities (by contract type) are as follows:

| (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. |

With respect to MAF’s investments in other registered investment companies, private investment funds, exchange-traded funds, and other acquired funds, MAF bears its ratable share of each such entity’s expenses, including its share of the management and performance fees, if any, charged by such entity through that entity’s NAV. MAF’s share of management and performance fees charged by such entities is in addition to fees paid by MAF to TAS and the money managers.
Pursuant to a series of agreements, State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) earns a fee for providing core fund administration, fund accounting, domestic custody, and transfer agent services. Fees paid for non-core services rendered by State Street include, but are not limited to, foreign custody and transactional fees, which are based upon assets of the fund and/or on 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 fees on the Statement of Operations.
TAS provides certain administrative services to the fund under a Services Agreement. For these services, the fund pays a monthly fee calculated by applying an annual rate of 0.02% 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.
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. MAF pays a pro rata portion of such costs based on its share of TIP’s net assets.

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 $24,193 from MAF for the period ended June 30, 2017 for service as independent chair. As of June 30, 2017, $24,179 remained payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
5. Investment Transactions
Cost of investment securities purchased and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, during the period ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
 | |  | |  |
| | Purchases | | Sales |
Non-US Government Securities | | $ | 761,813,175 | | | $ | 1,065,422,478 | |
US Government Securities | | | 83,585,994 | | | | 133,100,330 | |
6. Federal Tax Information
For federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned at June 30, 2017, has been estimated since the final tax characteristic cannot be determined until subsequent to fiscal year end. The cost of investments, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investment securities, other than proceeds from securities sold short, at June 30, 2017 are as follows:
 | |  | |  | |  |
Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | Cost |
$509,604,179 | | | $(297,596,976) | | | | $212,007,203 | | | | $3,667,580,065 | |
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, TIPs deflationary adjustments, income/losses from underlying partnerships, marked-to-market of investments in passive foreign investment companies, and constructive sales.
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 account based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
7. 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.

8. 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.
As of April 11, 2017, MAF has adopted a new Systematic Withdrawal Plan. Under the plan, members have the option of redeeming 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 withdrawal enhancement will be required to reinvest their quarterly dividends and distributions.
9. 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.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
TIFF Multi-Asset Fund / Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | June 30, 2017 |
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.
The fund invests in small capitalization stocks. These investments may entail different risks than larger capitalizations stocks, including potentially lesser degrees of liquidity.
10. 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.
11. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In October 2016, the SEC adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
12. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events and has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure.

TIFF Short-Term Fund | June 30, 2017 |
| 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 January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017.
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 1/1/17 | | Ending Account Value 6/30/17 | | Expenses Paid During the Period* 1/1/17 – 6/30/17 |

2) Hypothetical | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,023.70 | | | $ | 1.10 | |
| * | Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.22% (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 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |

TIFF Short-Term Fund / Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | June 30, 2017 |
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 June 30, 2017, TIP consisted of two mutual funds, TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (“MAF”) 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
Short-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of less than one year 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 one year are valued at amortized cost using yield to maturity amortization.
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 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 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)
During the period ended June 30, 2017, all of the fund’s investments were valued using Level 1 inputs and, as a result, there were no transfers between any of the fair value hierarchy levels.
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 (Unaudited) | June 30, 2017 |
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, 2013 through December 31, 2016), 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.
3. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates
TIP’s board of trustees (the “board”) has approved an investment advisory agreement with TIFF Advisory Services, Inc. (“TAS”). 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 | % |
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 fees on the Statement of Operations.
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.

TIFF Short-Term Fund / Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) | June 30, 2017 |
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.
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 $399 from STF for the six months ended June 30, 2017 for service as independent chair. As of June 30, 2017, $413 remained payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
4. Federal Tax Information
For federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned at June 30, 2017, has been estimated since the final tax characteristic cannot be determined until fiscal year end. The cost of investments, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investment securities, at June 30, 2017, are as follows:
 | |  | |  | |  |
Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Depreciation | | Cost |
$3,257 | | | $(11,004) | | | | $7,747 | | | | $106,137,262 | |
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.
The amount and character of tax basis distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year end; accordingly, tax basis balances have not been determined as of June 30, 2017.
5. 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 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. | | $ | 30,391,485 | | | $ | — | | | $ | (30,391,485 | ) | | $ | — | |

6. 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 June 30, 2017, TAS, the advisor to the fund, owned 31% of STF.
7. 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.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In October 2016, the SEC adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
9. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events and has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure.

| Approval of the Advisory Agreements and Money Manager Agreements (Unaudited) |
During an in-person meeting held on March 22, 2017 (the “March 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 new money manager agreement (“new money manager agreement”) for TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (“Multi-Asset Fund”) with Shapiro Capital Management, LLC (“Shapiro”). The board was asked to approve the new money manager agreement because of an anticipated change of control of Shapiro, which would result in an automatic termination of Multi-Asset Fund’s money manager agreement with Shapiro. After considering information about the proposed change of control received from Shapiro, TIFF Advisory Services, Inc. (“TAS”) recommended to the board that the new money manager agreement be approved. The change of control occurred and the new money manager agreement became effective on April 13, 2017, when Resolute Investment Managers, Inc. (“RIM”), the parent company of American Beacon Advisors, Inc., acquired a majority interest in Shapiro (the “Shapiro Transaction”).
Consideration of New Money Manager Agreement with Shapiro Capital Management, LLC
In considering the new money manager agreement with Shapiro for Multi-Asset Fund at the March meeting, the board took into account information it had received in connection with its annual review of TIP’s investment advisory and money manager agreements and fees (the “Annual Review”), including the money manager agreement with Shapiro, on June 9-10, 2016. The board noted that, at that time, it had approved the continuance of the money manager agreement between TIP, on behalf of Multi-Asset Fund, and Shapiro for another one-year term commencing July 1, 2016. In connection with the Annual Review meeting, the board had requested and considered a wide range of information from TAS and Shapiro of the type it regularly considers when determining whether to continue Multi-Asset Fund’s money manager agreements as in effect from year to year. In approving the new money manager agreement with Shapiro at the March meeting, the board considered the same factors and information that it considered in approving the money manager agreement with Shapiro at the Annual Review meeting, as well as such other information as the board considered appropriate. The board considered information regarding Shapiro’s personnel and services, investment mandate, investment strategies and philosophies, portfolio management, and fees and expenses. The board noted that Shapiro’s fee schedule, which was the same fee schedule as in effect under the money manager agreement, did not include breakpoints that could enable Multi-Asset Fund to benefit from economies of scale, but did include a performance fee which aligned Shapiro’s interests with those of Multi-Asset Fund. Information about Shapiro’s proposed brokerage practices was also provided, including proposed allocation methodologies, best execution policies, and soft dollar program. In addition, the board considered information with respect to the compliance and administration of Shapiro, 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 Shapiro. The board noted that the change of control at Shapiro was not expected to result in any material changes in the nature, quality, or extent of services to be provided by Shapiro; was not expected to result in any material changes to the investment advisory or other services provided to Multi-Asset Fund or in the personnel providing such services; and was not expected to affect Shapiro’s ability to meet its obligations, as proposed, under the new money manager agreement. It was noted that RIM expected to provide enhanced resources to Shapiro and enable Shapiro to implement certain succession and transition plans that were necessary for the continued success of its business. The terms of new money manager agreement were substantially similar to the terms of the money manager agreement that was in effect between TAS and Shapiro prior to the Shapiro Transaction.
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 new money manager agreement. The board also reviewed Shapiro’s responses to a questionnaire prepared by the trustees’ independent counsel requesting information necessary for the trustees’ evaluation of the new money manager agreement, as well as responses to additional questions posed by the board.
The board also noted the information received at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by Shapiro concerning the management of Multi-Asset Fund’s portfolio. The board’s evaluation of the services provided by Shapiro took into account the board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as board members regarding the scope and quality of Shapiro’s investment management capabilities. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, quality, and extent of the services currently being provided, and expected to be provided, by Shapiro. Consistent with the approach taken by the board at the Annual Review meeting, the board did not specifically consider the profitability or expected profitability of Shapiro resulting from its relationship with Multi-Asset Fund because Shapiro is not affiliated with TAS or TIP, except by virtue of serving as a money manager to Multi-Asset Fund, and the fees to be paid to Shapiro were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis in a competitive marketplace.
The board based its evaluation on the material factors presented to it at the March meeting and at the Annual Review meeting and discussed above, including: (1) the terms of the new money manager agreement; (2) the reasonableness of the money manager’s fees in light of the nature and quality of the services expected to be provided and any additional benefits to be received by Shapiro in connection with providing services to Multi-Asset Fund after the Shapiro Transaction was completed; (3) the nature, quality, and extent of the services expected to be performed by Shapiro after the Shapiro Transaction was completed; (4) the overall organization, skills, and experience of Shapiro in managing the existing portfolio for Multi-Asset Fund; and (5) the contribution of Shapiro towards the overall performance of Multi-Asset Fund.
In arriving at its decision to approve the new money manager agreement with Shapiro, 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 with a view toward future long-term considerations. After carefully considering the information summarized above and all factors deemed to be relevant, the board unanimously voted to approve the new money manager agreement with Shapiro for Multi-Asset Fund. Prior to a vote being taken, the board met separately in executive session to discuss the appropriateness of the agreement and other considerations.
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 new money manager agreement with Shapiro was reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of Multi-Asset Fund and its members, and that the fees provided in the agreement were fair and reasonable. In the board’s view, approving the new money manager agreement with Shapiro was desirable and in the best interests of Multi-Asset Fund and its members.

Also at the March meeting, the board evaluated and approved the assignment of the original money manager agreement between Neuberger Berman Asia Limited (“Neuberger Berman”) and Multi-Asset Fund to Green Court Capital Management Limited (“Green Court”). Neuberger Berman notified TAS and TIP of a pending assignment of the original money manager agreement, which would occur as a result of a transaction (the
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Additional Information (Unaudited) | June 30, 2017 |
“Green Court Transaction”) in which former members of the Neuberger Berman Greater China Investment Team (“GCI Team”) would establish an independent asset management business by the name of Green Court Capital Management Limited. Neuberger Berman and its affiliates would retain an ongoing passive minority ownership stake in Green Court, and all other equity in Green Court would be owned by the GCI Team’s professionals, with a controlling interest held by Yulin (Frank) Yao as Managing Partner. After considering the matter, TAS recommended to the board that the assignment be approved. The assignment was accomplished through a novation agreement. Under the novation agreement, Green Court assumed Neuberger Berman’s obligations under the original money manager agreement. The novation agreement, together with the original money manager agreement, is referred to herein as the “Novated Agreement.” The Green Court Transaction was effected on April 28, 2017, and the Novated Agreement became effective at that time.
Consideration of the Novated Agreement for Green Court Capital Management Limited
In considering the Novated Agreement by and among Neuberger Berman, Green Court, and TIP, the board took into account information it had received at the Annual Review meeting in connection with its initial approval of the original money manager agreement with Neuberger Berman for a two-year term commencing June 13, 2016. In connection with the initial approval, the board had requested and considered a wide range of information from TAS and Neuberger Berman. In approving the Novated Agreement, the board considered many of the same factors and information that it considered in approving the original money manager agreement with Neuberger Berman, as well as such other information as the board considered appropriate. The board considered information regarding Green Court’s personnel and services, investment strategies and philosophies, portfolio management, potential portfolio holdings, and fees and expenses. The board also considered the performance achieved for Multi-Asset Fund and other accounts that had been managed by the GCI Team during their time at Neuberger Berman. The board considered that most of the direct support functions of the GCI Team would move to Green Court as part of the Green Court Transaction, including a portfolio specialist, business manager, and a dedicated operations staff. At the close of the Green Court Transaction, Green Court was expected to have in place senior professionals in the areas of compliance, finance, and human resources, some of whom were existing Neuberger Berman employees currently supporting the GCI Team. The board noted that the fee schedule in the Novated Agreement, which is the same as the fee schedule in the original money manager agreement with Neuberger Berman, included breakpoints that could enable Multi-Asset Fund to benefit from economies of scale and is consistent with the terms Green Court would offer to other investors. Information about Green Court’s proposed brokerage practices was also provided, including its proposed allocation methodologies, best execution policies, and soft dollar program. In addition, the board considered information with respect to the compliance and administration of Green Court, including, its code of ethics and business continuity procedures, and the background of the person that would serve as the chief compliance officer. As a new entity, Green Court had no material violations of its compliance programs, had not been subject to regulatory examinations or other inquiries, and was not aware of any litigation proceedings affecting Green Court. The board noted that the Green Court Transaction was not expected to result in any material change in the nature, quality, or extent of services to be provided by Green Court; was not expected to result in any material change to the investment advisory or other services provided to Multi-Asset Fund, or to the personnel providing such services; and was not expected to materially affect the GCI Team’s ability to fulfill Green Court’s obligations under the Novated Agreement. It was noted that Green Court would continue to receive certain operational and infrastructure support from Neuberger Berman for a period of time pursuant to a transition services agreement.
The board 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 Novated Agreement. The board also reviewed Green Court’s responses to a questionnaire prepared by the trustees’ independent counsel requesting information necessary for the trustees’ evaluation of the Novated Agreement, as well as responses to additional questions posed by the board regarding, among other things, Green Court’s expected investment opportunities and strategies, those Neuberger Berman investment professionals who were expected to become investment professionals at Green Court, Green Court’s continuing relationship with Neuberger Berman, and support Neuberger Berman was expected to provide Green Court with respect to compliance and various back office functions. The board noted certain risks, which it had also considered at the Annual Review meeting, including political, financial, and trade
TABLE OF CONTENTS

execution risks associated with investing in China and Green Court’s strategy of holding a concentrated portfolio with low name turnover but high share turnover.
The board also noted the information received at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by Neuberger Berman and the GCI Team in the management of Multi-Asset Fund’s portfolio. The board’s evaluation of the services provided by Neuberger Berman and the GCI Team took into account the board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as board members regarding the scope and quality of the GCI Team’s investment management capabilities. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, quality, and extent of the services expected to be provided by Green Court. Consistent with the approach taken by the board at the initial approval of the original money manager agreement, the board did not specifically consider the profitability or expected profitability of Green Court resulting from its relationship with Multi-Asset Fund because Green Court is not affiliated with TAS or TIP, except by virtue of its pending role as a money manager to Multi-Asset Fund, and the fees to be paid to Green Court were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis in a competitive marketplace.
The board based its evaluation on the material factors presented to it at the March meeting and discussed above, including: (1) the terms of the Novated Agreement; (2) the reasonableness of Green Court’s fees in light of the nature and quality of the services expected to be provided and any additional benefits to be received by Green Court in connection with providing services to Multi-Asset Fund after the Green Court Transaction; (3) the nature, quality, and extent of the services expected to be performed by Green Court after the Green Court Transaction; (4) the overall organization, skills, and experience of the GCI Team in managing the existing portfolio for Multi-Asset Fund; and (5) the contribution of the GCI Team towards the overall performance of Multi-Asset Fund.

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 Novated Agreement was reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of Multi-Asset Fund and its members, and that the fees provided in the Novated Agreement were fair and reasonable. In the board’s view, approving the Novated Agreement was desirable and in the best interests of Multi-Asset Fund and its members.

During an in-person meeting held on June 28-29, 2017 (the “June 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”), conducted its annual review (the “Annual Review”) of the investment advisory agreements between each of the TIP funds and TIFF Advisory Services, Inc. (“TAS”) (“Investment Advisory Agreements”), the advisor to TIFF Multi-Asset Fund (“Multi-Asset Fund” or “MAF”) and TIFF Short-Term Fund (“Short-Term Fund”), as well as the money manager agreements between Multi-Asset Fund and its money managers (as sub-advisors) (“Money Manager Agreements”). Also at the June Meeting, the Board evaluated and approved a money manager agreement between TIP and SandPointe Asset Management LLP (“SandPointe”), a new money manager managing assets on behalf of MAF. The Investment Advisory Agreements and the Money Manager Agreements are collectively referred to herein as “Advisory Agreements,” and Multi-Asset Fund and Short-Term Fund may be referred to individually as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds.”
Consideration of the Advisory Agreements at the Annual Review
The Board requested and received information from TAS and the money managers in advance of the June Meeting, which the trustees reviewed separately in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel at the June Meeting. The materials provided included information regarding personnel and services, investment process and strategies, portfolio management, fees and expenses, performance, and with respect to TAS, profitability. Information about brokerage practices was also supplied, including allocation methodologies, best execution, commission rates, and soft dollar arrangements. Information with respect to compliance, administration, and risk management was supplied, such as information on TAS’s and the money managers’ compliance programs, including codes of ethics and business continuity procedures, as well as information concerning any material violations of such programs, chief compliance officer backgrounds, disclosure about regulatory examinations or other inquiries, and litigation proceedings affecting TAS or the money managers.
In addition, the Board considered the following: (1) a memorandum from the Board’s independent legal 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 Advisory Agreements; (2) responses by TAS and each money manager to questionnaires prepared by the Board’s independent legal counsel requesting information necessary for the trustees’ evaluation of the Advisory Agreements; (3) a report prepared by Broadridge comparing the performance of each Fund to the performance of its applicable peer groups, and comparing each Fund’s advisory fees and expenses to those of its respective peer groups; (4) additional information from TAS regarding the fees charged by TAS to each Fund and certain other private funds managed by TAS; (5) money manager profiles detailing the individual portfolio managers, fee schedules, and fees paid to each money manager, and an advisor profile detailing similar information for TAS; (6) a report of the ten brokers receiving the highest aggregate brokerage commissions by manager for the year ended December 31, 2016; and (7) certain financial information about TAS, including its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services
The Board considered a number of factors in evaluating TAS and the money managers in connection with the Annual Review. The Board noted that it receives information at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by TAS and the money managers, as well as the Funds’ performance, expenses, and compliance information. It also noted that it receives information between regular meetings as the need arises. The Board’s evaluation of the services provided by TAS and the money managers took into account the trustees’ knowledge and familiarity gained as Board members, including the scope and quality of TAS’s investment management capabilities in selecting money managers, allocating Fund assets across money managers and asset classes, managing certain asset types in-house (e.g., Treasuries, futures contracts, swaps, and other instruments), and its compliance responsibilities.
The Board also considered each money manager’s skills and experience in managing the underlying portfolios given the amount of assets and particular universe of asset types available to the manager, its trading acumen,

its performance tendencies in various market cycles, and its process for risk monitoring and management. The Board considered reports from TAS regarding the operations of certain money managers, the performance and investment strategies of certain money managers in light of current market conditions, as well as the role that each money manager plays in Multi-Asset Fund’s portfolio. With respect to Mondrian Investment Partners Limited, TAS proposed approval of the continuation of the firm’s money manager agreement through July 3, 2017, when at that time the money manager agreement would be terminated. The Board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided under the Advisory Agreements by TAS and each of the money managers.
Profitability
In addition, the Board considered the profitability of TAS as the investment advisor and the likelihood that TAS would remain financially viable moving forward. The Board did not specifically consider the profitability of each money manager resulting from its relationship with Multi-Asset Fund because none of the money managers is affiliated with TAS or Multi-Asset Fund except by virtue of serving as a money manager, and the fees paid to each money manager by TIP were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis in a competitive marketplace.
TIFF Multi-Asset Fund Performance, Fees, and Expenses
Multi-Asset Fund operates on a “multi-manager” basis, which means that its assets are divided into multiple segments and those segments are managed by different investment management firms as money managers to TIP. In addition, TAS manages a portion of Multi-Asset Fund’s assets directly and is also responsible for determining the appropriate manner in which to allocate assets among money managers. There is no pre-specified target allocation of assets to any particular money manager. Each money manager manages one or more segments of Multi-Asset Fund pursuant to a money manager agreement between the money manager and TIP, on behalf of Multi-Asset Fund. Multi-Asset Fund also invests a portion of its assets in other investment funds (which are sometimes referred to as “underlying funds” or “acquired funds”), such as exchange-traded funds, open-end mutual funds, and private investment funds, such as hedge funds. As an investor in an acquired fund, Multi-Asset Fund will bear its ratable share of expenses, including advisory and administration fees and other fees, of the acquired fund. Such fees and expenses are referred to as “underlying fund expenses” and represent the approximate fees and expenses indirectly incurred by Multi-Asset Fund as a result of its investments in acquired funds.
While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses the primary factors relevant to the Board’s decisions. In each case, the Board concluded that the Funds’ performance was acceptable and that the Funds’ advisory fees and total expenses were reasonable in light of the quality and nature of services provided.

The Board reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's total return with three self-selected benchmarks and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group and peer universe by Broadridge.
In particular, the Board reviewed Multi-Asset Fund’s performance against its benchmarks (the three self-selected benchmarks were the MAF Constructed Index, based on the normal allocation to each asset class, the 65/35 Mix, and the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) + 5% per annum), and a Broadridge peer universe. The Broadridge peer universe consisted of Multi-Asset Fund and all retail and institutional flexible portfolio funds as classified by Broadridge (the “Broadridge MAF peer universe”). The Board considered TAS’s implementation of Multi-Asset Fund’s investment strategy across multiple asset classes and money managers. Multi-Asset Fund’s returns lagged the MAF Constructed Index for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2017, and exceeded the MAF

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Constructed Index for the five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2017. Multi-Asset Fund’s returns lagged the 65/35 Mix for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2017, but exceeded the 65/35 Mix for the ten-year period ended March 31, 2017. Multi-Asset Fund’s returns exceeded the CPI + 5% benchmark for the one-year period and lagged the CPI + 5% benchmark for the three-, five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2017. Multi-Asset Fund’s returns lagged the average of the Broadridge MAP peer universe for the one-year period and exceeded the average of the Broadridge MAF peer universe for the three-, five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2017.
The Board also reviewed the fees and expenses of Multi-Asset Fund against an expense peer group provided by Broadridge. This expense peer group (the “MAF expense peer group”) consisted of Multi-Asset Fund and twelve other institutional flexible portfolio funds as classified by Broadridge. The actual advisory fees of Multi-Asset Fund exceeded the median advisory fees of the MAF expense peer group for the latest fiscal year. The trustees noted that MAF makes substantial use of performance-based fee arrangements, which can lead to higher advisory fees. The total expenses of Multi-Asset Fund including and excluding the underlying fund expenses exceeded the median of the MAF expense peer group. The Board noted that, because the acquired funds in which Multi-Asset Fund invests typically use performance-based fee arrangements, the underlying fund expenses will tend to be higher when the acquired funds perform well. Further, most of the other funds in the MAF expense peer group do not invest in acquired funds and, therefore, do not incur underlying fund expenses. The Board took into consideration management’s discussion of the acquired funds’ contributions to MAF’s overall performance and the role such funds play in the portfolio, as well as management’s view that these factors offset the higher fees and expenses resulting from such investments.
The Board reviewed and discussed TAS’s fee schedule and the fee schedules of the money managers, noting that each of the money managers had an asset-based fee arrangement, a performance-based fee arrangement, or a fee arrangement which included a combination of both an asset-based fee and a performance-based fee. The Board assessed the extent to which Multi-Asset Fund enjoyed economies of scale resulting from the fee structures provided by each of the money managers, noting that certain money managers’ asset-based fee schedules did not include breakpoints, but their fee schedules were consistent with the fee schedules such managers had in place with, or offered to, other clients having substantially similar investment mandates. Further, with respect to those money managers that received performance-based fees, the Board felt that such fee schedules appropriately aligned the money managers’ interests with those of Multi-Asset Fund’s members. As part of its analysis, the Board also considered the fees charged by TAS to MAF and certain other private funds managed by TAS.
TIFF Short-Term Fund Performance, Fees, and Expenses
The Board reviewed various comparative data provided to it in connection with its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with TAS, including, among other information, a comparison of the Fund's total return with a self-selected benchmark and with that of other mutual funds deemed to be in its peer group and peer universe by Broadridge.
In particular, the Board reviewed Short-Term Fund’s performance against its self-selected benchmark (BofA Merrill Lynch US 6-Month Treasury Bill Index (the “Index”)), and a Broadridge peer universe. The Broadridge peer universe consisted of Short-Term Fund and all retail and institutional ultra-short obligation funds as classified by Broadridge (the “Broadridge STF peer universe”). The Board considered TAS’s internal management of Short-Term Fund since 2004. It noted that Short-Term Fund typically invests substantially all of its assets in US Treasury bills and normally maintains a duration of within three months of the duration of the Index. In contrast, the Broadridge STF peer universe used for comparison purposes, which closely matches Short-Term Fund in certain respects, includes funds that do not limit their investments to US Treasury bills and may maintain portfolio dollar-weighted average maturities up to 365 days. Short-Term Fund has produced negative total returns for the three- and five- year periods ended March 31, 2017 due to the extremely low yields on US Treasury bills resulting from Federal Reserve Board policy and Short-Term Fund’s operational costs, including the cost of portfolio rebalancing. Short-Term Fund underperformed the Index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2017. The Board noted that the Index does not reflect any fees or expenses and has an average maturity of six months compared to Short-Term Fund’s average maturity of about three months. Similarly, Short-Term Fund’s returns lagged the average of the Broadridge STF peer universe for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2017, for the reasons stated above.
TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Board considered these results in light of Short-Term Fund’s investment strategy and the purposes for which Short-Term Fund members use the Fund.
The Board also reviewed the fees and expenses of Short-Term Fund against an expense peer group provided by Broadridge. This expense peer group (the “STF expense peer group”) consisted of Short-Term Fund and eight other institutional ultra-short obligation funds as classified by Broadridge. The Board noted that the actual advisory fee and total expenses of Short-Term Fund were well below the median of the STF expense peer group. The Board also noted that TAS’s fee schedule included breakpoints that could enable Short-Term Fund to benefit from economies of scale should the Fund’s assets grow.
Results of Review of Advisory Agreements
After considering responses from TAS and each money manager to the questionnaire prepared on behalf of the Board and further discussion, the Board voted at the June Meeting to approve the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreements for another year with respect to both Multi-Asset Fund and Short-Term Fund and to continue the Money Manager Agreements for another year with respect to Multi-Asset Fund. The Board based its evaluation on the material factors presented to it at the June Meeting and discussed below, including: (1) the terms of the agreements; (2) the reasonableness of the advisory and money manager fees in light of the nature and quality of the advisory services provided and any additional benefits received by TAS or the money managers in connection with providing services to the Funds; (3) the nature, quality, and extent of the services performed by TAS and each of the money managers, as well as the cost to TAS of providing such services; (4) in the case of the Multi-Asset Fund, the contribution of each money manager toward the overall performance of the Fund; (5) the fees charged by TAS and each of the money managers; and (6) the overall organization and experience of TAS and each of the money managers.
Prior to a vote being taken to approve the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreements and the Money Manager Agreements, the trustees met separately in executive session to discuss the appropriateness of the agreements and other considerations. 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 review of investment advisory contracts. The trustees concluded that the Advisory Agreements were reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of the Funds and their members, and that the fees set forth in the agreements were fair and reasonable. In reaching its conclusion to approve the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreements and the Money Manager Agreements for another year, 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 with a view toward past and future long-term considerations.
Approval of the Money Manager Agreement between TIP and SandPointe
During the in-person June Meeting, the Board evaluated and approved the money manager agreement for Multi-Asset Fund with new money manager, SandPointe.
In considering the money manager agreement with SandPointe for Multi-Asset Fund, the Board requested and considered a wide range of information from TAS and SandPointe in advance of the June Meeting. The Board approved the money manager agreement with SandPointe at the June Meeting. The Board considered information regarding SandPointe’s personnel and services, investment strategies and philosophies and portfolio management, including the experience of SandPointe’s investment personnel. The Board also considered SandPointe’s potential portfolio holdings, fees and expenses, and the performance of other accounts that had been managed by SandPointe’s investment professionals. The Board noted that the proposed management fee did not include breakpoints but included provisions that would reduce the asset-based fee rate and the performance fee rate if assets in the strategy exceed certain thresholds. Information about SandPointe’s proposed brokerage practices was also provided, including proposed allocation methodologies and best execution policies. In addition, the Board considered information with respect to the compliance and administration of SandPointe, 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 SandPointe.
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 money manager agreement. The Board also reviewed SandPointe’s responses to a questionnaire prepared by the trustees’ independent counsel requesting information necessary for the trustees’ evaluation of the money manager agreement, as well as responses to additional questions posed by the Board regarding SandPointe’s limited track record and operating history, risks inherent to managers in the volatility space, “key man” risk, and risks associated with the strategy’s tactical allocation which could result in extended periods where the SandPointe portfolio remains in cash earning only a risk-free cash return. At a telephonic executive session held June 23, 2017, the trustees discussed the proposed money manager agreement with their independent counsel and directed counsel to request additional information regarding SandPointe’s expected investment opportunities, strategies and investment professionals. In addition, TAS staff provided responses post-meeting to certain additional questions from the Board regarding, among other things, expectations for SandPointe’s potential long-term performance, including contributing factors potentially driving projected outcomes, performance benchmarks, and the investment team’s criteria for determining timing of investing with and withdrawing from SandPointe.
The Board considered a number of additional factors in evaluating the money manager agreement with SandPointe on behalf of Multi-Asset Fund. The Board considered the advisory services SandPointe was expected to provide to the Fund; the potential benefits of including SandPointe as a money manager to the Fund; 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 money manager agreement with SandPointe. The Board did not specifically consider the profitability of SandPointe expected to result from its relationship with Multi-Asset Fund because SandPointe is not affiliated with TAS or TIP except by virtue of serving as a money manager, and the fees to be paid to SandPointe were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis in a competitive marketplace.
The Board based its evaluation on the material factors presented to it at the June 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 SandPointe in connection with providing services to Multi-Asset Fund; (3) the nature, quality, and extent of the services expected to be performed by SandPointe; and (4) the nature and expected effects of adding SandPointe as a money manager of Multi-Asset Fund.
In arriving at its decision to approve the money manager agreement with SandPointe at the June Meeting, 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 with a view toward future long-term considerations. After carefully considering the information summarized above and all factors deemed to be relevant, the Board unanimously voted to approve the money manager agreement with SandPointe for Multi-Asset Fund at the June Meeting. Prior to the vote being taken, the Board met separately in executive session at the June Meeting to discuss the appropriateness of the agreement and other considerations.
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 money manager agreement with SandPointe was reasonable, fair, and in the best interests of Multi-Asset Fund and its members, and that the fees provided in the agreement were fair and reasonable. In the Board’s view, approving the money manager agreement with SandPointe was desirable and in the best interests of Multi-Asset Fund and its members.
