CMU Investment Office manages Carnegie Mellon's endowment to provide permanent financial support for research and education, including scholarships and operations. It grows and protects assets through a globally diversified portfolio that includes private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, real estate, natural resources, public equities, and fixed income, using external investment managers. It differs from others by being a university endowment with a dedicated CIO and a global, private-investment–centered approach focused on disciplined long-term growth and risk management. Its goal is to grow and preserve the endowment so CMU can sustain its research, education mission, and operations in perpetuity.
