Subcommittee on Investments

Georgetown University’s Board of Directors adheres to the laws set forth in the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of the District of Columbia which requires a duty of care and loyalty in managing the endowment. The Board of Directors delegates fiduciary oversight of the pooled endowment to the Subcommittee on Investments, a division of the Board of Directors’ Committee on Finance and Administration. Further, the Subcommittee delegates certain authorities to the Chief Investment Officer. 

The members of this Committee and the Investment Office meet three times per year to review asset allocation and performance. The Committee reviews the investment policy annually, with changes to the strategic targets occurring gradually. 

All members of the Subcommittee have decades of professional investment experience and provide advice and direction to the Georgetown University Investment Office. Our in-house team supports the Committee by providing recommendations on asset allocation, sourcing investment opportunities, and managing the day-to-day operations of the portfolio in conformance with our investment policy statement and socially responsible investment policy.
