The Organization
The Annie E. Casey Foundation is one of the nation’s largest private philanthropies. Our mission is to develop solutions to build a brighter future for children, youth, families and communities, particularly those who face the greatest barriers to success in the United States. The Casey Foundation focuses on strengthening families, building stronger communities and ensuring access to opportunity because children, youth and young adults need all three to succeed. The Foundation advances research and solutions to overcome the barriers to success, help communities demonstrate what works and influence decision makers to invest in strategies based on solid evidence. All of this is possible because of its endowment, which has provided over $1.5B of support in the last decade alone. For more information see www.aecf.org.
The Investments Team manages the Foundation’s $3.5B endowment to generate returns and fund the Foundation’s grant making and operations. The team invests the portfolio in a variety of asset classes including equities, fixed income, hedge funds, venture capital, private equity and social-impact investments primarily through partnerships with talented investment managers around the world.
Position Summary
The Director, Public Market Investments (Director) is a senior member of the Investments Team and will work closely with the CIO and other senior team members. The Director will co-head the day-to-day management of the endowment’s public investment strategies (currently just under 60% of the portfolio) to achieve desired long-term return and risk objectives. Working collaboratively with other senior team members, their primary focus will be on identifying new opportunities and managing existing investments in equities and fixed income. They will be substantively engaged in evaluating and monitoring investments in long/short equity, absolute return and credit.
The Director will contribute to the team on matters of portfolio construction and asset allocation. They will prepare and present portfolio reviews and recommendations to the Investments Team and Board of Trustees Finance Committee, contribute to the evaluation of new and existing investments in other asset classes, and help improve the team’s investment processes and tools.
