NC State Investment Fund
The NC State Investment Fund is a governmental not-for-profit organization established in 1998 which began operations in April 1999 as a separately incorporated external investment pool for the University’s Endowment Fund and other university-associated entities’ endowed funds. The Fund is comprised of two separate pools – the Long-Term Investment Pool (LTIP) and the Intermediate-Term Investment Pool (NC STATE ITF).
