Welcome to the College Fund
The College Fund has a key role in the College's long term strategy to secure its financial stability and independence by maximising the return from investment assets and providing a regular source of unfettered income to support the College's objectives.
The Council has agreed that all College assets not required for the core academic mission of the College will be identified and transferred to the College Fund, where they will be managed separately from the day to day running of the College. The aim of the the College Fund is to manage such assets with a pure investment focus, in order to provide steady capital growth and a regular income.
The assets within the College are held within two separate portfolios, with different investment objectives:
Contains all unrestricted, non-core assets that are producing a regular income and are considered to be of suitable investment quality. The College Fund uses a unitised structure which enables Faculties and departments to enjoy the benefits of investing gifts and endowments in the Unitised Scheme and to keep track of their investments.
The Special Circumstances Portfolio
Contains all non-core assets which require further development prior to consideration for inclusion in the Unitised Scheme, or which the College is restricted from selling.
