Mandate

The university’s financial position is governed by its Capital, Asset Management, Funding and Financing Policy (CFO-4). This policy provides funding and financing frameworks to measure the university’s ability to ensure fiscal and liquidity capacity. The CUiF was created to act as the university’s investment arm, outside of its pension plan.

The CUiF manages a diverse range of investment programs and pools. These assets include endowed and designated capital funds dedicated to supporting student, academic and research activities, as well as contributions from other capital sources at Concordia. The CUiF thrives through the generosity of alumni, friends, faculty, staff, corporations and foundations, who contribute to its largest and most significant source of support — the endowment fund. The CUiF also makes capital allocations to support debt repayment and cash management.
