Meet Margaret Chen

Margaret Chen, Global Head of Endowment & Foundation Practice

  • Q.

    Why choose Cambridge Associates?

    A.

    Our clients get the best of both worlds. They work directly with their investment team but have the research and back-office support of a larger firm.

  • Q.

    What makes Cambridge Associates a good fit?

    A.

    We’re agnostic between advisory and OCIO. We listen hard to what the institution wants and will introduce them to the team that we think best meets their needs.

  • Q.

    Why have you stayed?

    A.

    I’ve been here for more than 25 years because of our people. Our colleagues always start with what’s best for the client, period. And our people are always seeking out new sources of alpha for client portfolios. It’s exciting.

How We Serve Endowments & Foundations

Why a customized portfolio matters

We understand the investment challenges non-profit investors face. We also believe every institution is different. That’s why our investment teams work to understand each client’s needs. We build customized portfolios that align with each client’s long-term investment objectives, risk tolerances, liquidity needs, and other enterprise considerations.
