Investments

You need to generate revenue to fund infrastructure projects that benefit your community. And you need to do all of this in a way that mitigates risk. 

ONE Investment is here to help. Formed as “ONE – The Public Sector Group of Funds” in 1993 by Local Authority Services (LAS) and CHUMS Financing Corp. (a subsidiary of the Municipal Finance Officers’ Association of Ontario), and later rebranded as “ONE Investment”, we have always focused on one thing: providing investment options that support the needs of Ontario’s municipalities.

Serving Ontario’s municipalities for more than 30 years

With more than 30 years of experience serving the sector, ONE Investment understands the needs of municipalities. Today, ONE Investment offers municipalities and municipal treasurers:

In the 1990s, we offered a Money Market portfolio and Bond portfolio. Over the years, we expanded our investment offerings with an Equity portfolio in 2007, a Universe Corporate Bond portfolio in 2008, and a high-interest savings account (HISA) option in 2014, which offers a competitive rate for short term monies.

In 2018, we incorporated ONE Investment as a not-for-profit organization; a change that allows us to broaden our investment options and offer formal investment advice to municipalities.

Most recently, since 2020, ONE has offered a turnkey solution for any municipality to leverage the “Prudent Investor Standard” to access a broader suite of investment products through the ONE Joint Investment Board (ONE JIB). Prudent investment allows a municipality to earn more over the long-term by building a diverse investment portfolio that is tailored to local needs, more responsive to markets, and better at managing risk.

ONE Investment’s Mission is to sustainably service the investing needs of the Ontario municipal sector by providing legally compliant investment opportunities that meet municipal objectives and by building sector capacity.
