About the Presbyterian Investment Fund
The Presbyterian Investment Fund (previously known as the Amalgamated Investment Fund) is a consolidated fund of approximately $175 million. The PIF is made up of parish capital funds, parish funds not immediately required for operational activities, General Assembly funds and trust funds.
PIF account-holders can select from two Fund options: the On Call Fund and the Long Term Fund. The On Call Fund consists of high quality short-term assets and is available on call. As a result, the interest paid on the On Call Fund will likely be similar to short-term Term Deposit rates. The Long Term Fund consists of a balanced mix of diversified investment assets, including shares and property. The Long Term Fund is expected to pay a higher rate of interest over time, but carries some risk of loss.
The PIF is open to all parishes. Deposits cannot be accepted from individuals or non-Presbyterian entities.
Transactions are straightforward. Interest is credited quarterly and Parish Treasurers can view and download statements using their personal login access.
