The Education and Science of the Southern Federal District Endowment Fund, created by Center-invest Bank and the Bank’s clients, presented its annual report for 2025.

The report includes financial results, achievements, and information on the programmes implemented by the Fund. The document is intended as a useful tool for attracting potential investors to the Fund and developing a tradition of long-term investment in the future.

The report was presented at a meeting of the executives of the largest endowment funds in the South of Russia. The meeting participants discussed strategies for fund management, fundraising, and promoting a culture of responsible investing in the Don Region.

Center-invest Bank is the oldest donor and the largest management company in the endowment capital market of the Southern Federal District, and ranked 10th in the National Endowment Association’s rating for the asset volume and the number of endowments under management.

Center-invest Bank manages the capital of four endowment funds in the South of Russia with total assets of RUB 516 million and, since 2008, payments in the form of scholarships and grants from management income have amounted to more than RUB 216 million.
Education and Science of the Southern Federal District Endowment Fund;
Southern Federal University Endowment Fund;
Don State Technical University Endowment Fund;
Rostov State University of Economics (RSUE) Endowment Fund.

The bank uses a conservative investment strategy. From 2007 to 2025, not a single portfolio under the Bank’s management recorded a negative annual return, enabling endowment funds to plan their operations with confidence and secure funding for important continuing education programmes.

For over 30 years, Center-invest Bank has been successfully implementing social and educational projects aimed at developing the current and future generations, and has been supporting programmes to develop youth initiatives and to improve the quality of education in Russia.
