Working with us

Alignment with Clients

Focused on investing not asset gathering

Edgehill is committed to enhancing the financial well-being of institutions that benefit society. We do so by serving as the investment office of each of our clients and applying rigorous processes developed over our tenures to strive to generate strong investment performance. All of Edgehill’s revenue is from our OCIO business; we have no conflict of interests.

Edgehill provides comprehensive portfolio oversight and our clients' Investment Committees provide strategic governance. We work integrally with each client’s staff and leadership. We develop an Investment Policy Statement, customize reporting, provide in-person investment committee meetings and give transparency to Edgehill’s research and portfolio construction process. Edgehill is accountable for results.
