PART VII, LINE 7D - INVESTMENT GAINS AS PART OF A DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT STRATEGY, HOPE & FUTURE INVESTS DONATED DOLLARS THAT ARE NOT SLATED FOR NEAR TERM PROJECT DEPLOYMENT ACROSS VARIOUS INVESTMENTS. THESE INVESTMENTS ARE LARGELY FOCUSED ON LIQUID STOCK AND BOND-BASED SECURITIES THAT ADJUST IN PRICE DAILY. THE DEGREE AND/OR VOLATILITY OF THESE PRICE ADJUSTMENTS VARIES BASED ON THE INVESTMENT MANDATE, THE TIMELINE ASSOCIATED WITH THE INVESTMENTS AND THE OVERALL TARGETED RATE OF RETURN. INVESTMENTS WITH LONG TIME HORIZONS OFTEN TARGET A HIGHER RATE OF RETURN THAT MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY A WIDER RANGE OF PRICE VOLATILITY DUE TO MARKET CYCLES, THE ECONOMY AND SECURITY SPECIFIC NEWS. INVESTMENTS WITH SHORT TIME HORIZONS HAVE A LOWER EXPECTED RATE OF RETURN, ALONG WITH A LOWER VOLATILITY BUDGET. AS A RESULT, INVESTMENTS DEEMED TO HAVE A SHORT TIME HORIZON SHOULD EXHIBIT MUCH LOWER SECURITY PRICE ADJUSTMENTS RELATIVE TO OUR LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS. LIQUID, MARKET-BASED INVESTMENTS ARE OFTEN MORE VOLATILE THAN NON-EXCHANGE LISTED INVESTMENTS, WHICH CAN RESULT IN HOPE & FUTURE REPORTING A WIDE VARIANCE OF SHORT-TERM PROFIT AND LOSS ON THESE INVESTMENTS FROM QUARTER TO QUARTER.
