The Fundriver interface has a standard Consumer Price Index (CPI) Utility that can be configured to create automatic inflation adjustments. The inflation adjustments will impact funds corpus/historical gift values but will not impact market value or the cash reconciliation within Fundriver. This can be set up to apply to all funds or a subset of funds. Please note that if your organization has an underwater rule, this may limit funds from spending. Also, the inflation adjustment setting can be configured to be based on corpus or market values, the standard being market values. This article will explain how the inflation adjustment is created within Fundriver.
