The foundation established a new endowment to support core institutional needs at historically Black colleges and universities, including infrastructure, technology and institutional capacity.
The fund will spend down its entire endowment to zero after accelerating its planned spend-out with nearly $24 million in grants in the last 15 months.
The investment manager added a head of fixed-income trading and a director and portfolio manager of another asset manager as portfolio managers and managing directors on its emerging market debt team.
The firm closed its inaugural venture capital fund with more than $60 million in commitments from institutional investors, corporates, multi-family offices and other strategic backers.
The endowment hired the deputy cio of responsible investing for the New York City Comptroller’s Bureau of Asset Management to serve as a managing director and help lead its portfolio strategy.
The wealth manager and registered investment advisor is acquiring a West coast-based institutional investment consulting firm to help support its investment strategy, fiduciary governance and portfolio oversight.
