Wyoming Government Investment Fund

Overview

The Wyoming Government Investment Fund (WGIF) is a sovereign wealth fund established on July 1, 1996, to provide cash management investments exclusively for Wyoming public entities. The fund aims to allow these entities to pool their investment funds to achieve the highest possible yield while maintaining liquidity and preserving capital. Its portfolio consists solely of investments permitted by Wyoming statutes. WGIF offers two professionally managed investment options: the Liquid Asset Series, a fully liquid, stable net asset value investment option that enables participants to pool their short-term funds for a common investment, and the TERM Series, which offers fixed interest rates for fixed periods ranging from 60 days to one year. Both options are designed to meet the specific cash flow and investment needs of Wyoming's public entities. The fund is sponsored by the Wyoming School Boards Association and the Wyoming Association of Municipalities, ensuring that it remains focused on the particular needs of Wyoming's public entities. The WGIF Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall management of the fund, including the formulation and implementation of investment and operating policies. The fund is owned and operated by its participants, reflecting a commitment to serving the interests of Wyoming's public entities.
