UNC Investment Fund Makes New Investment in SpaceX
What happened
An investment fund that manages endowments for nearly all UNC System schools made a new investment in SpaceX on September 23, 2026. The fund, which was valued at $17 billion as of June 30, had initially invested in venture capital firms that invested in SpaceX 17 years ago. The fund's investment in SpaceX was ongoing and will be paid out through September 2027.

Why it matters
The fund's investment in SpaceX was fueled partly by the company's IPO on June 12, though its value has since dropped below its opening price of $150 per share. The fund president noted that the investment provided a long-term opportunity to harvest gains from illiquid assets.
