University of Virginia Investment Management Company

UVIMCO provides investment management services to the University of Virginia and associated organizations to serve the University’s mission. The partnership between UVIMCO, the University, and associated organizations is unique. We all share a love of excellence, strive to be both great and good, feel called to serve the University, and appreciate our strong and enduring roots in the Charlottesville community.

UVIMCO invests the endowment and other long-term funds of the University and associated organizations in its Long Term Pool. A majority of the Long Term Pool’s holdings are in the form of pooled investments and commingled funds, which are managed by external investment managers rather than through direct ownership of individual securities. The Pool also includes fixed income and cash.

UVIMCO’s primary objective is to maximize the long-term, inflation-adjusted returns commensurate with the risk level of the University. The secondary objective is to secure higher returns than the passive policy portfolio, which represents an appropriate mix of diversified market risks for institutional investors like the University. The passive policy portfolio is comprised of public market indices: 75% equity represented by the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) and 25% fixed income represented by a blended Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bond Index.
