The Decision to Delegate

While we’re busy pulling together stories for the fifth season of Unseen Upside, we thought you might be curious about what it is that Cambridge Associates actually does. In a nutshell, we have the privilege of partnering with some of the world’s top institutional investors—like nonprofits, universities, hospitals, pension plans, and even private families—and we try to help them reach their investment goals.

Recently, we had a conversation with four of our non-profit clients from institutions with assets ranging from $200 million to $850 million to understand why they chose to outsource day-to-day portfolio decisions so they could focus on bigger picture strategy for their organizations. Their stories offer insight into how we collaborate with clients so they can do even more for the communities they serve. 

Don’t forget to check back this fall for the latest season of Unseen Upside: Investments Beyond Their Returns.
