Senior Loans typically are secured with specific collateral and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the borrower that is senior to subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the borrower. Loans usually are of below-investment-grade quality and have below-investmentgrade credit ratings, which ratings are associated with securities having high risk, speculative characteristics (sometimes referred to as “junk”). The Eaton Vance Fund may also invest in secured and unsecured subordinated loans, second lien loans and subordinated bridge loans (collectively “Junior Loans”), other floating rate debt securities, fixed-income debt obligations and money market instruments. The Eaton Vance Fund may invest up to 25 percent of its total assets in foreign Senior Loans. The Eaton Vance Fund may engage in derivative transactions (such as futures contracts and options thereon, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and other currency hedging strategies, and interest rate swaps) to seek to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates. These securities have significant risks. For additional information regarding the Eaton Vance Fund and its risks, please request a copy of the Eaton Vance Fund’s prospectus.

Under normal market conditions, the Templeton Fund invests at least 80 percent of its net assets in “bonds.” Bonds include debt obligations of any maturity, such as bonds, notes, bills, and debentures. The Templeton Fund invests predominantly in bonds issued by governments, government-related entities and government agencies located around the world. The Templeton Fund may also invest in securities or structured products that are linked to or derive their value from another security, asset, or currency of any nation. In addition, the Templeton Fund’s assets are invested in issuers located in at least three countries (including the U.S.). The Templeton Fund may invest without limit in developing markets. Although the Templeton Fund may buy bonds rated in any category, it focuses on “investment-grade” bonds. It may invest up to 25 percent of its total assets in bonds that are rated below-investmentgrade or, if unrated, determined by the Templeton Fund’s manager to be of comparable quality. The Templeton Fund maintains extensive positions in currency-related derivative instruments as a hedging technique or to implement a currency investment strategy, which could expose a large amount of the Templeton Fund’s assets to obligations under these instruments. These securities have significant risks. For additional information regarding the Templeton Fund and its risks, please request a copy of the Templeton Fund prospectus. 

The assets of this Fund will be invested in a fund vehicle until the Fund is large enough for active management by EOII. The Fund may not be in compliance with EOII’s Eder Values Investing guidelines as long as it is invested in a fund vehicle.

Tactical Fund Investments for Churches and Christian
Faith-Based Organizations

What Are Tactical Funds?

Eder Organizational Investing (EOII) tactical funds are comprised of blended investment funds that are fully invested in various EOII strategic funds. Asset allocation targets are determined by our investment adviser within asset allocation ranges established by our EOII Board. Because EOII tactical funds are managed by our investment adviser, there is an additional fee.

Tactical Funds Address Institutional Investor Questions: 

  • What is an investment solution that keeps us in line with our risk tolerance while accounting for market conditions
    that also helps us avoid potentially cumbersome internal approvals, burdensome research, or distracting discussions? 

  • How do we invest effectively if managing realized and unrealized gains and losses is important to us? 

  • How do we invest effectively if we do not have local investing expertise or a well-defined investment process? 

  • How can we create resiliency in our approach so that our investing strategies are effective now and in the future? 

 EOII Tactical Funds

Our investment funds-of-funds are managed by our investment adviser. This team of investment professionals analyze
macroeconomic data to effectively deploy assets in a manner consistent with their perceptions of economic cycles, market
valuations, and investor sentiment.

These funds-of-funds are governed by limits set by the Eder Financial Board Investment Committee and may include
but are not limited to, overall stock and bond exposures as well as allocation restrictions at the individual fund level.

Our nine tactical funds allow for a range of risk vs. rate of return. Organizations that understand their time horizon and risk
tolerance
for their pool or pools of assets will find a variety of needs served by Eder’s tactical fund offerings. 


The charts below show sample portfolios for our
tactical funds.
Actual fund allocations may fluctuate based on market conditions.

Tactical Funds Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Tactical funds’ performance characteristics are a combination of the investment manager (the teams picking individual stocks or bonds in the underlying strategic funds) as well as the investment adviser (the team deciding what funds to allocate resources based on macroeconomic analysis)

Once selected, our tactical funds relieve your nonprofit from managing asset allocation and rebalancing on a meeting-to-meeting basis. Your nonprofit maintains fiduciary responsibility for selecting and monitoring your tactical funds. 

Any investment strategy that diverges from a stated benchmark, for the purpose of enhancing performance, assumes some level of investment risk. Our tactical funds may invest in certain strategic funds that are not widely adopted investment classes. While theres an expectation that inclusion of additional asset classes should reduce the long-term risk of your portfolio, or capitalize on a sector or cyclical opportunity, the short-term rate of return could vary from historic investor benchmarks. 

Some tactical funds, particularly those not labeled with EVI or Eder Values Investing, may invest in strategic funds that may not comply with EOI’s socially responsible investing guidelines. In those instances where it is not cost effective to hire a manager to build a portfolio to our specifications, we will seek out a suitable mutual fund to solve for specific asset classes. While these mutual fund managers are not contractually beholden to our defined values, Eder staff, consultants, and board members analyze their holdings on a regular basis and will seek to replace them with a more suitable alternative if they stray too far from our expectations. 

Yes, our tactical funds have an additional level of cost over and above the expenses of our strategic funds in which they are invested. This additional fee, shown in the fee schedule below, is charged directly to investors’ accounts on a quarterly basis and is based on the total EOI investor assets invested in any of our tactical funds. 

 

H3 Tag: EOI tactical funds fee schedule 

Account size Annual service fee, percent of assets 

First $10,000,000 0.250% or 25.0 basis points? 

From $10,000,000 to $20,000,000 0.125% or 12.5 basis points 

From $20,000,000 to $50,000,000 0.075% or 7.5 basis points 

Over $50,000,000 0.050% or 5.0 basis points 

By comparison, our passive funds-of-funds (e.g. Balanced Fund and Domestic Stock Fund) are EOI investment options with preset allocations, as determined by the Eder Financial Board Investment Committee, and rebalanced on a quarterly basis. No economic analysis is performed during the administration of these funds-of-funds and the performance generated is solely the result of the underlying investment managers and the securities they have purchased. These passive funds-of-funds offer less potential diversification than the tactical funds. 

Our balanced fund is a passive strategic fund that invests in the Domestic Stock Funds and the Bond core Funds. Although our Balanced Fund allows for a range of between 30% in Domestic Stock Funds and 70% in Bond Funds, historically, our Balanced Fund has invested 60% in the Domestic Stock Funds and 40% in the Bond Funds and rebalanced on a fixed quarterly schedule. 

As indicated above, our tactical funds may be invested in a wider range of strategic funds. Decisions on which strategic funds and how much is invested, within the limits of our policy, are at the discretion of our tactical fund investment adviser. Changes can occur when the investment adviser determines it’s beneficial, rather than on a specific schedule. 

 

Our tactical funds use a tactical asset allocation model — a dynamic investment strategy that actively adjusts our portfolio's asset allocation, with the goal of improving the risk-adjusted returns of the strategic funds as compared to a set blended benchmark.
