  • But this year the money has stopped flowing after investment losses reached $1.5-billion for 2008 and the university was forced to cancel a planned $62-million endowment payout, representing about 5 per cent of its operating budget.
  • Canada's most innovative investment funds is in question by the university that is bearing the brunt of its losses.
  • Settling into a boardroom chair in the restored heritage building of Toronto's MaRS research centre, Mr. Moriarty remains unshaken by the crisis. He stands committed to UTAM's sophisticated investing approach, reciting phrases like "portable alpha" and "risk budgets" to explain portfolio decisions.

Homegrown products may help extend lives - Guelph Mercury - 0 views

  • It is clear humans will live much longer in the future, Worzel says. And innovative agricultural products, like those being developed by University of Guelph research scientists, will play a vital role in maintaining the health of this future population of senior citizens.
  • Worzel was a keynote speaker at last week's Agri-Food Innovation Forum in Toronto, which brought leading scientists, medical professionals, government and industry officials together to explore the future of so-called functional foods and nutraceuticals -- foods or food extracts that have physiological benefits or reduce the risk of chronic disease.
  • Guelph scientists are among the world leaders in the field, with a host of University of Guelph researchers advancing the science, and a number of local enterprises -- Soy 20/20, BioEnterprise, Ontario Agri-Food Technologies, and MaRS Landing -- working to commercialize that science.
