Foundation and Endowment Investing: Philosophies and Strategies of Top Investors and Institutions, the first book Larry Kochard and I wrote together, profiles 12 well-regarded chief investment officers at leading university endowments and foundations. Inspired by Larry’s fruitless search for such a book when he became CIO of Georgetown University, Foundation and Endowment Investing chronicles the investment philosophies, strategies, and challenges of leading CIOs and shares their ideas and advice with investors.

The stories of such accomplished investors—most known only within a segment of the institutional investment community—provided readers with valuable information and ideas. Descriptions of their long-term investment process taught investors useful lessons about asset allocation, manager selection, and alpha generation. Their opinions and advice left readers with a better understanding of the top investor mind-set.

基金会和捐赠基金投资：顶尖投资者和机构的理念和策略，拉里·科查德和我一起写的第一本书，介绍了12位在顶尖大学捐赠基金和基金会中备受尊敬的首席投资官。在拉里成为乔治敦大学的首席信息官后，他对这本书的无果而终的研究受到启发，基金会和捐赠基金会记录了首席首席信息官的投资理念、战略和挑战，并与投资者分享他们的想法和建议。

这些有成就的投资者的故事只在机构投资界的一部分人中为读者提供了有价值的信息和想法。对他们长期投资过程的描述为投资者提供了有关资产配置、经理人选择和阿尔法生成的有用经验。他们的意见和建议让读者对顶级投资者的心态有了更好的了解。
