The Education Liquidity Fund…. TELF
NEW NAME AND LOOK,
SAME GREAT SERVICE AND INVESTMENT EXPERTISE

You’ve commented, and we’ve listened!

Per participant feedback, we have formally changed our name from IPASeducation to The Education Liquidity Fund, or “TELF”. Our goal was to find a name that better describes the program and what it offers our Iowa educational institutions, and we think we’ve found it.

Miles Capital has been managing collective funds for public bodies longer than anyone. We have ensured that, through the name change, all of the details and services that you have come to expect from us, the program, and the underlying SEC-registered investment fund (IMMF) will remain the same. Our online service, our experienced service professionals, our continuous efforts to provide a competitively yielding investment vehicle will all be unchanged.

As always, if you have questions, please feel free to contact us!
