Growing Responsibly. Advancing Our Future.
The Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility (ACIR) provides a forum for members of the ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ community to raise issues related to investment responsibility. In considering various issues, ACIR members will be guided by the Board of Trustees Statement on Investment Responsibility and other applicable policies.
Our Commitment to Responsible Investing
The Board of Trustees of ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ has a primary fiduciary duty to maximize the financial returns of the ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Endowment. The mission of the ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Investment Office is to act as stewards of the Endowment, in order to provide a stable and growing stream of income and to support the University’s academic and research goals for current and future generations. Recognizing that some investments raise environmental, social, and corporate governance concerns, the Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility (ACIR) was established in November 2016 by the President and the Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, with the endorsement of the Investment Committee.
