Retiree health
The University of California (The University) administers single-employer health and welfare plans to provide health and welfare benefits, primarily medical, dental, and vision benefits, to eligible retirees and their eligible family members of the University of California and its affiliates. The University funds the retiree health benefits through the University of California Retiree Health Benefit Trust (UCRHBT) based on a projection of benefits on pay-as-you-go financing. UCRHBT was established on July 1, 2007 and allows UC Davis to fund retiree health benefits along with other UC campuses and medical centers on a cost-sharing basis and accumulate funds under an arrangement segregated from the University's assets.
The University acts as a third-party administrative agent on behalf of UCRHBT to pay health care insurers and administrators amounts currently due. The Regents of the University of California have the authority to establish and amend benefit plans.

Endowment
Endowment funds are held and administered by either the University of California (the University) or by the campus foundations. The amounts reflected on this page are those administered by the University.
The University's endowment income distribution policies are designed to preserve the value of the endowment in real terms (after inflation) and to generate a predictable stream of spendable income. Endowment investments are managed to achieve the maximum long-term total return. As a result of this emphasis on total return, the proportion of annual income distribution provided by investment income may vary from year-to-year. The University's policy is to retain the realized and unrealized appreciation with the endowment after the annual income distribution has been made.
The portion of the investment returns earned on endowments held by the University and distributed each year to support current operations of UC Davis is based upon a rate of 4.75 percent (stated in dollars per share). This rate is approved by the Regents of the University of California.
