Private Equity
The university approved a private equity commitment to a new manager within its endowment fund alongside changes to its investment policy.
The plan committed to a new private equity manager relationship and trimmed its real estate portfolio.
The plan committed to three funds run by new manager relationships.
The plan added $15 million in follow-on commitments across two funds in March.
The plan approved a private equity commitment and was informed of staff-delegated investments this week.
The plan will include its two incumbent international value equity managers in a search to review the asset class universe.
The searches will help fill out an asset allocation approved in 2021 that included new targets to the asset classes.
Smaller endowments should reassess their portfolios to incorporate private equity as opportunities for greater returns arise.
The plan’s general investment consultant informed the board that an RFP would go out this year.
The funds will invest in incubation, seed, Series A and Series B stage digital-health startups.
