An “underwater endowment fund” refers to an endowment fund whose current market value is less than its original or historic gift value, indicating a decline in investment performance. This situation often arises due to market volatility or poor investment returns, impacting the fund’s ability to support its intended purpose. The term is crucial for financial reporting and compliance, as it affects how institutions manage and report their endowment funds.
