Andy Ward
Vice President & Chief Investment Officer
Welcome from our CIO
Hello and welcome to the website for the University of Chicago’s Office of Investments.
The Investment Office manages the University’s endowment under the guidance of the Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees. Our work protects and grows the endowment assets of the University to support its mission of inquiry and academic excellence.
Unlike most investment firms, the University and its affiliates are our sole clients. The investment professionals in our office understand the significance of working for higher education and the importance of our fiduciary responsibility. When we invest for the University of Chicago, we are investing in the institution’s future and continued impact around the world.
Our office is comprised of six internal teams that manage the University’s $14 billion in investment assets: public markets and absolute return, private equity, real assets, strategy, risk, and investment operations. Together, we thrive on innovation and actively source investment opportunities.
I invite you to explore our team’s work and to contact us if you are interested in working with our office. Thank you.
