The university has increased its targets to private equity and real assets at the expense of global equity and marketable alternatives to improve its portfolio’s return and risk profile.
The firm has acquired a Maine-based investment advisor, which works with individuals, family offices and institutional investors, as part of its continued expansion in the state.
The university approved five new commitments totaling $81 million to private equity, venture capital, private credit and hedge fund strategies within its endowment.
The flexibility and environmental impacts of a portfolio targeting net-zero greenhouse gas emissions enhances the ability of endowments to support climate change solutions without sacrificing returns, according to endowments and their investment consultants.
The university has hired a new v.p. and cfo from a nearby institution following a search from the first quarter as its previous finance head left for another West coast university.
