A Leader in Private Investing

Seeking Alpha Through Private Investments

With some of the world’s most sophisticated institutional and family investors, our clients have some of the highest allocations to private investments.

Why Cambridge Associates?

We aim to generate strong investment returns across market cycles

We navigate complex private investment opportunities for institutional investors and family offices. That means sourcing and performing due diligence on high-conviction managers, as well as allocating meaningful enough capital to those private investment funds—across strategies, geographies, and vintage years—to impact portfolio returns.

It also means developing deep and specialized capabilities across all private investment strategies—including venture capital, private equity, secondaries and co-investments—to help ensure that there is no shortage of best ideas for our clients.

“Private investment asset classes may serve as an engine of growth in portfolios and may drive superior performance.”

Our Approach

Gain exhaustive coverage of the private markets

While private investments have consistently driven portfolio performance for investors with meaningful allocations, there is a wide dispersion in returns between the best and the rest. We continually track new and emerging managers, especially those spinning out from larger firms where they have demonstrated investment success. To do so, we invest in the resources, experience, and infrastructure to source, evaluate, and access high-conviction opportunities around the globe.
