Investment Committee

The Investment Committee (IC) advises the Finance Committee (FC) on APS investments and investment policies. It reviews the investment policies of the Society and the strategy and performance of the Society’s investments manager and makes recommendations to the FC concerning these policies. Recommendations proposed by the IC are included in FC reports to the Board.

The membership of the IC includes the Treasurer, the CEO (non-voting), the Vice President, and three (3) other APS members selected by the Board Executive Committee (BEC) and appointed by the President-Elect to staggered three (3) year terms, and up to two (2) external experts with investment expertise selected by the Treasurer, confirmed by the BEC, and appointed by the President-Elect. The external experts are not required to be members of the APS and they serve at the pleasure of the committee Chair. The Treasurer chairs the committee.

The IC is an advisory Board Committee.
