The university has elected four new members to its board of trustees, including one investment professional, and named a new board chair effective July 1.
The university added seven new members to its board of trustees, including one former investment professional and an operating advisor for a private equity firm.
The fund expects to receive recommendation from staff and its general investment consultant to hire extended equity 130/30 and multi-strategy hedge fund managers after approving a new asset allocation at its July board meeting.
The foundation expects to conduct a search for an investment advisor for its endowment later this year or early next year as its current advisor has struggled to recommend women- and minority-owned or led investment managers.
The college increased its endowment toward private equity and venture capital and increased its long-term ranges to the asset class for a second consecutive year.
Firm lays out how an endowment or foundation can build a robust pipeline of diverse board members, starting with the creation of a board member matrix.
The fund will consider hiring an overlay manager to synthetically replicate its public credit benchmark and policy index after holding a second reading and considering adopting proposed changes to its investment policy statement and strategic asset allocation.
