Financial Investments

  • The Higher Education Fund works as a pooled investment fund that contributes to enhancing and diversifying the sources of income for universities, and reducing the correlation of education sector spending with economic cycles.
  • The Fund works with the Investment Committee to determine short-, medium- and long-term investment goals, after taking into account the inflation rate, expected cash flows, degree of risk tolerance, in addition to the universities’ financing needs.
  • To achieve these goals, the Higher Education Fund invests in a multi-asset portfolio in various local and global markets, which is managed directly or through external investment managers.
  • Investment opportunities are selected and analyzed dynamically, including studying the relevant markets and sectors for the asset class under study, and conducting the necessary due diligence checks.
