Welcome to the website for the University of Chicago’s Office of Investments.

Guided by the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees, our office diligently manages the University’s endowment to safeguard and grow its assets in support of the institution’s mission of inquiry and academic excellence.

Distinguished from conventional investment firms, our sole focus is on serving the University and its affiliates. Committed to our fiduciary responsibility, our investment professionals recognize the profound impact of higher education, investing in the University’s future and its global influence.

The University of Chicago’s endowment pool is one of the 20 largest private university endowments in the United States. We actively seek out new investment opportunities across our four asset class teams: Private Equity; Public Growth Assets; Inflation-Sensitive and Diversifying; and Defensive. The Operations, Risk, and Strategy teams embrace innovation and continually enhance our data resources, modeling, processes, and research.

We invite you to explore our team’s endeavors and encourage you to reach out if you are interested in collaborating with our office. Thank you.
