Barnard College is pleased to announce its appointment of Goldman Sachs and Partners Capital as the new Outsourced Chief Investment Offices (OCIO), effective as of July 1, 2021.
Barnard's endowment supports student financial aid, faculty chairs, and other academic initiatives. During the 2021 academic year, the College issued a Request for Proposal for the College’s OCIO services and decided to end its agreement with Strategic Investment Advisors and to appoint both Goldman Sachs and Partners Capital to manage equal shares of the endowment.
Both firms have established track records serving endowments and foundations, and will tailor their investment solutions to meet Barnard’s specific needs.
We look forward to a long and profitable relationship with Goldman Sachs and Partners Capital and thank Strategic for its strong relationship with Barnard College.
