Our Investment Strategy
About Our Strategy
The Investment Office believes the evergreen relevance of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s mission is our enduring advantage. Like most endowments, Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s endowment is meant to support Â鶹ÊÓƵ into perpetuity. Because of this time horizon, the Investment Office can think very long term when making investment decisions. By extension, the strategy can be equity-centric, and the research effort can be strategic and programmatic in its approach to investment themes. Thanks to that privilege, the Investment Office can be curious and creative in our pursuit of opportunities, rigorous and holistic in our diligence, and patient and empathetic in our relationships.
Questions We Ask Ourselves
To avoid the pitfalls that might come with such a simple charge, the Investment Office starts by asking ourselves the following questions, which ultimately make our strategy real and substantive in practice:
- Have we leveraged our best thinking to produce differentiated relationships and, ultimately, differentiated outcomes for the College?
- Have we balanced patience in the face of false urgency with commerciality and speed in the face of true opportunity?
- Do we treat those in our ecosystem with integrity and care, and our investment partners with rigor and respect?
Whether you are a BMC community member, a finance industry participant, or a prospective teammate, we invite you to get to know us better.
