Tonight, we welcomed UConn alums to introduce us to Commonfund, a Connecticut based non-profit asset management firm that specializes in the management of the portfolios of non-profit organizations. During their presentation, they took a deep dive into the world of endowments and explained the importance of intergenerational equity of diversification of accounts. Our guests walked us through Commonfund’s investment philosophy as well as their portfolio construction process. Throughout the presentation, students were able to ask any and all questions they may have had regarding endowments, asset allocation, and the difference between liquid and illiquid asset classes to name a few.
