Stewardship Report 2020/21

STEWARDSHIP REPORT

April 1, 2020 – March 31, 2021

I WRITE THIS as the last few weeks of the fiscal year draw to a close. As always, this report covers the preceding year. And I am, of course, aware that many of you have given again in the year we are in. As a university, there is no greater sign of relevance for our work than each student who chooses King’s. However, the many ways that you, our donors (and especially as many of you are indeed former students) decide to give and direct your gifts is another great signal of both Photo by Adams Photography relevance and confidence—a form of proof that there is still urgency and importance in our mission and in the particular way we pursue it. And this signal of confidence and ability to help arrives with every single gift.

Although it often feels inadequate, the greatest expression of our gratitude still resides in saying—thank you! On behalf of the college, its students, faculty and staff and everyone who cares for and about King’s, we extend gratitude to you for all the things King’s is able to do and provide to students as a result of your abiding generosity.

The university has many aspirations and goals and much we want to accomplish in the coming years. This September we will celebrate 50 years of the Foundation Year Program and in 2023 we will celebrate 100 years of our association with Dalhousie. Our upper-year humanities programs are in multiple collaborations about the future with Dalhousie colleagues. Our School of Journalism is thinking big about its future and our creative writing degrees are at the beginning of showing their full potential. Our enrolment is steadily increasing. I look forward to communicating with you in the near future, as the work to earn your continued support carries on.

We have come through a lot and we will accomplish a lot, together. We always talk about King’s as a community. You are exemplars. Thank you for supporting King’s educational mission and the students who come here to attain an education they can only attain at King’s and Dalhousie. With appreciation, Bill

RESPONSIBLE INVESTING AT KING’S

TUCKED UNDER THE HEADING ‘General operating’ on the University Policies page of King’s website, the three-page PDF entitled Responsible Investing Policy looks unassuming enough. Its succinct elegance belies the multi-year effort of the Investment Committee’s membership, two of its successive chairs and a diligent working group.

In October 2018, President William Lahey and Board of Governors Chair Doug Ruck, BA’72 asked the Investment Committee to take up the question of responsible investing and how it could be integrated into the way the university’s investments are managed. The committee established an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) working group to review the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment (UNPRI) and to recommend what action King’s should take. Peter Conrod, who at the time was global head of procurement for RBC and chair of King’s Investment Committee, led the way in initiating the work.

The policy best explains its backstory:

The University of King’s College has been the beneficiary of multiple bequests since its inception and has managed the resulting endowment funds through the Investment Committee who engages independent, professional investment managers.

The investment activities are governed by a Statement of Investment Policy and

Goals (“SIPG”) which is reviewed annually, with any changes requiring approval by the Board of Governors. It is recognized that maximizing the return on the University’s endowment funds, within documented risk parameters, should no longer be the sole purpose of the investment policy. Given today’s climate crisis and other societal challenges, it is appropriate the University embrace responsible investing policies and practices in the management of the endowment funds and align our investment practices with the imperative fight against climate change.

Since its inception in 2018, the Board’s ESG working group comprised college-wide representation including faculty, staff and King’s Students’ Union representatives.

In 2020, Conrod retired and Tom Eisenhauer BA(Hons)’83, co-founder, president and CEO, Bonnefield Financial Inc., became chair of the board’s Investment Committee and also one of the members of the ESG working group.

The group spent considerable time researching contemporary thinking around responsible investing. It reviewed the UNPRI, assessed the policies and practices of peer Canadian universities, both large and small and sought counsel from Morneau Shepell, a leading advisory firm in the area of institutional investing. They also reached out to the Canadian Federation of Students for its position on responsible investing.

The group’s collective work, a Responsible Investment Policy for the university, was adopted by the board in April 2021. It’s another step in King’s efforts to be part of the solution when it comes to climate change, building on the energy efficiency work that was carried out across the campus in 2017.

TOM EISENHAUER IS UNIQUELY positioned to bring value to the ESG working group. He spent a good part of his career as a Bay Street investment banker. And in 2008, he co-founded Bonnefield Financial, a firm that invests in farmland, preserving it for farming. “I really wanted to use my finance and investment management skills in a way that was socially and environmentally responsible. This whole topic of sustainable investing has been near and dear to my heart for a long time—and something I obviously fully endorse, because I voted with my career,” he said.

And it’s a vote that has been counted. In 2020, Bonnefield published an influential research paper entitled “The Role of Farmland in Mitigating Climate Change” that is testament to Eisenhauer’s corporate and personal commitment to environmental sustainability in investment.

When it comes to responsible investing, Eisenhauer says, some decisions are pretty straightforward: “Arms manufacturers, tobacco manufacturers. That’s dead simple. That’s easy.” But beyond that, things start to get more complex.

“Responsible investing, also called environmental, social and governance investing (ESG), was considered a fringe movement in finance for years. But in January 2020 Larry Fink, the CEO of the world’s largest money management firm, wrote in his annual letter that “Climate change has become a defining factor in companies’ long-term prospects.”

In other words, the world’s most powerful money manager was going to take policies on climate change into account when investing. Eisenhauer says that had a powerful effect: “It was an announcement that said ESG is really taking centre stage.”

“I really wanted to use my finance and investment management skills in a way that was socially and environmentally responsible."

While King’s policy does not direct the university’s investment management firm to put money into specific companies, it does lay guidelines for investing ethically.

When it came time to draft a policy for King’s, the working group members were firm in wanting to develop guidelines that will change with circumstances. They wrote:

“It is recognized that responsible investing is a relatively new area of research and is rapidly evolving. We know best practices in this area will change and mature. As such, we are committed to an annual review of our Responsible Investing Policy and Practices and, when appropriate, to make changes to the policy as well as to the SIPG, to ensure they align with both contemporary thinking and the desires and needs of the university’s stakeholders.

These changes may well entail decisions to divest of our positions in certain industries or organizations.”

Eisenhauer adds, “Being a King’s alumnus, I really do think King’s represents certain values, and we should uphold those values in everything we do—including how we invest our endowment fund.”
