Cambridge Associates

Company Profile

Cambridge Associates is an independent, privately owned global investment firm that aims to help family offices, endowments and foundations, and pensions implement and manage custom investment portfolios aimed at generating outperformance.

With over 50 years of institutional investing insights, particularly in alternative investment managers and strategies, our core focus is around active management and rigorous manager selection. Our expertise ranges from investment strategies, portfolio construction and implementation to the analysis of specific funds and co-investments – always taking into account the client’s specific requirements and preferences. Over 80 per cent of our business is hands-on portfolio management, which includes acting as an outsourced investment office (OCIO), providing directive day-to-day portfolio oversight on a non-discretionary basis, and managing alternative investment programmes.

The other core aspect of our business is partnering with clients closely as an extension of their own staff or serving as a valuable sounding board for investors who are leading their own investment processes.
