Investment Management

The Investment Management Division effectively manages all the funds for the State’s agencies, local governments and political subdivisions. Investment staff prioritizes safety, liquidity and yield.

As of June 30, 2023, the State Treasurer’s Office manages approximately $38.2 billion. This amount's estimated range is dependent upon the cyclical nature of cash flows for State agencies, local governments and political subdivisions and the revenues they receive.

All state funds are invested according to the South Carolina Code of Laws § 11-9-660 (PDF).
