The Toronto Investment Board was established by City Council in accordance with Ontario Regulation 610/06 under the City of Toronto Act, 2006. Amendments to O. Reg. 610/06 came into force on January 1, 2018, allowing the City to delegate authority to the Investment Board to manage the investment of funds not immediately required by the City and thereby creating greater flexibility in making investments such as adding securities including equities and non-bank corporate bonds to the City’s current holdings.
Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 112, Investment Board sets out the Investment Board’s mandate, composition, delegated authorities and other governance matters.
The Investment Board consists of seven members and comprises six public members appointed by City Council through the City’s Public Appointments process and the City’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. The Board Chair is appointed by City Council from among the Board’s public members.
