Information about the investments of Oxford University Any questions about any of the following, please e-mail [email protected], or after June 2006, [email protected]. Or ring 07840 381195. Summary Most of the fund management companies I approached only give out their top-ten holdings. However, the Barclays Global Investor funds all track various FTSE indices. this means that Oxford University invests in the arms companies, tobacco companies and other dubious characters who appear in the FTSE indices. Further companies of note that we definitely invest in include: Barclays / HSBC / British American Tobacco / GlaxoSmithKline / BP / Shell (See Artemis Income Fund) Contents: 1. List of who the money in the trusts pool is invested with 2. List of who the money in the capital fund is invested with 3.

Opportunities for further research Find out about the companies included in the different FTSE Indices which the BGI investments track. There are certain funds which I have been unable to find a contact for JF Pacific Equity Fund Cedar Rock Capital Fund Did the original response from the uni contain anymore info than this? What does 'Goldman Sachs - £ Share Class' refer to? GS didn't seem to recognise the name when I called. Who are ISIS in the university? I was directed to them by someone as being responsible for the uni's investments. Are they the people who gave us this information in the first place?
