CIO Roundtable

April 6, 2022 |

Fiduciaries are entrusted with fulfilling their organization’s mission largely through effective stewardship of financial assets. In the 50+ years since Commonfund was founded, perpetual investing has completely transformed - from simple fixed-income heavy portfolios to complex, global, multi-asset allocations - mirroring the pace of change in the world around us.

At Commonfund Forum 2022, our distinguished panel of CIOs shared their perspectives on portfolio management, discussed their best investment ideas, and described how they imagined the future of investment stewardship.

Panelists: Elizabeth M. Hewitt, Senior Vice President and CIO at Alfred P. Sloan Foundation; Angela Miller-May, CIO at Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund; Kenneth Souza, Director of Investments at the University of South Florida Foundation

Moderators: Nancy Bard, Managing Director at Commonfund Asset Management; Deborah Spalding, CIO at Commonfund Asset Management
