SolutionsInstitutions
Digital assets, evaluated through an institution’s mandate.
A measured allocation must fit the institution’s mission or liability profile, investment policy, risk budget, liquidity requirements, and governance process.
THE INSTITUTIONAL MANDATE
What the institutional portfolio must do
An institutional portfolio translates a mission, benefit obligation, spending policy, or balance-sheet requirement into objectives for return, liquidity, risk, and governance. Each allocation must support those objectives at the total-portfolio level.
Those responsibilities can be viewed through two capital functions: capital reserved for current commitments and capital invested for the institution’s longer-term mandate.
START WITH MISSION, OBLIGATIONS + POLICY↓
WHAT THE INSTITUTION REQUIRES
Start with mission, obligations, and policy
Governing documents, applicable law, investment policy, delegated authority, and the institution’s mission or liability profile establish eligible investments, risk limits, liquidity needs, and approval responsibility. These constraints define the investment universe before portfolio role or manager selection.
TRANSLATE THE MANDATE INTO CAPITAL FUNCTIONS↓
Separate capital required for current commitments from capital available for the long-term mandate.
Actual reserve design and account structure remain subject to the institution’s policy and implementation process.
LONG-TERM TOTAL RETURN
Long-Term Mandate Portfolio
Capital beyond anticipated commitments may pursue the return needed to fund future benefits or spending, preserve purchasing power, and sustain the institution’s purpose within its risk parameters.

03 / ALLOCATION CAPACITY
Determine whether long-term capital can support an allocation
Investment staff, committees, and advisers assess policy authority, liquidity, time horizon, risk budget, and capacity for loss. Portfolio role, diversification, fees, operational diligence, and oversight requirements shape the final review.

DEFINE THE ROLE INSIDE THE LONG-TERM PORTFOLIO↓
Digital assets within a total-portfolio framework
Where policy permits and the institution approves an allocation, digital assets provide exposure to open financial networks and programmable financial infrastructure as a distinct sleeve within the long-term portfolio.
