1986] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 83 an average annual rate of return during this period of 10.32 percent, compared with a 9.63 percent average for all commercial money market funds, and a 9.68 percent average for 90-day Treasury bills. In Fiscal Year 1985-86, the fund provided participants with a higher rate of return than all commercial money market funds listed in Donoghue's Money Fund Report. Although an overall' review of the University's investment program is currently being conducted, it is believed that the University should participate in the Gammon Fund because of its excellent peformance record. Accordingly, the Finance and Audit Committee recommends that the board authorize the use of the Common Fund for Short Term Investments for investment of current funds and perhaps some of the short-term investments in other fund groups. Currently, the University has approximately $86 million of current funds invested; $55 million in a group of pooled funds and $31 million separately invested. The committee also recommends that the board adopt the following resolution authorizing the opening of an account in the Common Fund for Short Term Investments. I concur. Resolution Be It Resolved that the comptroller of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois is authorized to invest such funds or securities as may from time to time be determined by the Board of Trustees in The Common Fund for Short Term Investments.
