The Investment Office of Brown University provides investment management for Brown University’s endowment and other managed assets.

Based on investment policies established and maintained by the Investment Committee of the Corporation of Brown University, we make asset allocation decisions for a diversified portfolio of investments and hire and oversee external investment managers. We may also periodically pursue direct investments to access opportunities not readily available from external managers or when such investments are more cost effective.

We are responsible for maintaining internal controls to monitor the endowment and ensure that it is in compliance with investment policies at all times.
