This was the premise for our Outsourced Chief Investment Office (OCIO) as envisioned by founder Thrus Morton. After years in the investment industry and serving as head of Duke University Management Company, Thrus recognized the need for smaller endowments and foundations to access clear, consistent investment management and counsel. We remain true to that premise today, assuming responsibility for asset allocation, manager selection, risk management, and investment reporting. We take great satisfaction in this work and are humbled by the responsibility. By doing our job effectively, we empower our client investors to further advance their organizational missions.
