The past year’s performance has been guided by the sound investment framework UBC Investment Management has put in place and strong capabilities developed in investment manager selection.
“Once again, we are very pleased with our investment returns in the most recent fiscal year, especially given that market conditions have been difficult for real estate and private equity,” says UBC Investment Management CEO Dawn Jia. “We work hard to support the university community’s priorities, helping to make futures possible for students, faculty, alumni and the university’s retirees.”
