Key Features of the GOLD Fund

Fund Administra- tion and Audit

Promote &  invest in  the  Fund

IIndividual and corporate investors will be challenged by IVCF to invest in the IVCF GOLD Fund. The fund, expected to grow in time, shall only utilize the interest of the principal and shall be used to finance the varied financial needs of the ministry - specifically in the areas of general operations, linkages and ministry developments. 

These invested amounts from Ministry Investors (MIs) , under an investor-defined period, shall be considered on loan to IVCF without interest and will be pooled together by IVCF and invested in a high-yielding, viable investment portfolios. 

These portfolios include time deposit investments starting from a minimum 30-day to 90-day period. Interested Investors can then invest any amount under an investor-defined period, from a short one (1) month period to a full one (1) year period. 

On the same day of release of fund by the Investor, the IVCF as fund manager, through its designated FundDev Group, shall immediately issue a Receipt of Investment, the Guarantee of Fund Security and the corresponding post-dated checks (PDCs) payable to the Investor at the end of the fund investment period as specified solely by the Investor. The PDCs shall cover the principal amount invested, net of interest, which interest shall accrue and now serve as part of the financial resource base of the IVCF GOLD Fund. 

It is envisioned that a repeated and multiple investments by similar and new Investors subject to the availability of their liquid funds shall eventually generate the substantial fund base for the long-term fund requirements of IVCF.
 

The GOLD Fund compared with the Bank's Fund Management  Programs

While many banks today are offering many  fund management programs, these bank-initiated schemes are different in a way that the invested funds are usually under a fixed prescribed term of fund deposit period (something which we can not impose on our own Ministry Investors), or that these banks usually require a minimum daily fund balance in order for the client to avail the interest offerings. 

Under those terms we can not see much flexibility on the part of our would-be Ministry Investors, hence we initiated the IVCF GOLD Fund which require neither conditions for us to invest our resources. The IVCF GOLD Fund calls for as many investors, who can invest funds in any amount level, under an Investor-defined deposit period, and further allowing multiple and repeated investments as possible. These investments will be directly managed by IVCF as Fund Managers and will be under an Investor-biased terms and conditions to encouraged more and repeated investments to the Fund.

Each of us in IVCF is a direct stakeholder of  this Fund.  It's success is expected to financially stabilize the IVCF Ministry over a long-term and sustainable period - from staff salaries, general operations, strengthen our ministry linkages and pursue expansion towards many ministry development initiatives. In essence, as we expected to benefit from this fund, so we must responsibly help to ensure its success. Here's how we can participate to make it successful : 

1.    Pray for this fund generation program that many will respond and support as 
       Ministry Investors (MIs), 

2.   Pray to be able to personally invest in the Fund by directly channeling your extra 
      savings or resources to support it, 

3.   Help scout for prospective Ministry Investors, from your family circle, immediate 
      relatives, charity institutions or any group or individuals who can share IVCF's 
      mission to reach the students for Christ,

4.  Openly articulate and share the IVCF's Vision and Mission to these prospective 
     Investors (i.e. help promote the IVCF Calendar and make it an opportunity to 
     challenge support for this Fund) 

5.  Volunteer to contribute ideas (either to the BOT or tha IV Staff) on how to better 
     promote, implement, operate or securely invest the IVCF GOLD Fund, and 

6.  Help spread awareness of this project to other IVCF Friends, alumni and 
     supporters. 

This Fund is once concrete way for us to pursue a long-term and sustainable fund generation program. As prospective investments to the fund grow, so we expect to gain an increase earnings from the interest of the Fund. This will help much sustain the ministry programs of IVCF. Before others can invest, we at IVCF must first be the stakeholders in this Fund, thus we must pray to be Investors to this ministry. As we now introduce this fund generation concept in anticipation of our Golden Anniversary, may the Lord bless the intentions of our hearts and our efforts to generate the resources needed in this ministry.
