The fund will consider approving a new strategic asset allocation for its portfolio as well as review the cost and benefits of hedging the fund’s oil and gas revenues as requested earlier this year.
The university will remove investments in energy companies with high carbon emissions and seek out and support investments in technologies that accelerate the transition to a carbon-free energy future.
The university is planning to conduct a strategic asset allocation study later this year after it terminated a global bond mandate and reallocated the funds to short-term bond and growth equity funds this month.
New strategic asset allocation approved last week increases targets to private equity and non-core fixed-income, including high-yield bonds and bank loans.
