Did you know our Office of Investments (OOI) is responsible for investing the university’s and Associated Entities’ endowments, as well as short to immediate term cash funds? That is not all OOI does.
OOI also orchestrates the nomination process for the North Carolina State Investment Fund’s (NCSIF) Investment Committee. The members of the committee implement the investment policy and asset allocation, monitor investment performance and other investment decisions.
In December 2023, OOI piloted a new nominating procedure guided by the NCSIF’s Nominating Charter. June 2024 marked the close to OOI’s second Call for Nomination, which is now held annually between April and June. During this period, recommendations are received and then reviewed and vetted for consideration.
One goal of the nomination procedure is to build a robust pipeline of individuals with professional and personal knowledge along with experience in various areas of investments and a demonstrated interest in the university and its mission. Therefore, sharing the nomination process with the division allows us to leverage our community’s knowledge of qualified persons who may be a potential fit for the Investment Committee.
To learn more about the NCSIF Investment Committee and their experiences, visit the Office of Investments website. As you review the experiences of the committee, note anyone who comes to mind with strong investment experiences for possible consideration for the next Call for Nomination in April 2025, when the nomination form will be open for submissions.
