We’re planning for UVic’s future

At UVic, working capital investments are used to support the growth of our university. The investment earnings help us undertake vital capital projects to improve sustainability, research and learning throughout UVic.

We work with external professional managers to make responsible working capital investments.

Our goals are to:

  • preserve capital
  • provide liquidity by investing a portion of the funds in liquid short-term investments that can be converted to cash with no risk of principal loss
  • provide yield at a low level of volatility
  • maintain purchasing power
  • achieve a commitment of investing at least 25% of the portfolio in thematic impact investments
