Portfolio Management Services
How We Work With Clients
We put clients at the center of every decision and action, with investment teams built to reflect each client’s needs and one-of-a-kind portfolios. Our portfolio management services complement clients’ internal resources and expertise in the following ways:
Discretionary/OCIO
For clients who wish to delegate portfolio management decision making, we serve as their fully resourced investment office, accountable for portfolio strategy, implementation, day-to-day management, and operations.
Advisory Services
For clients with significant investment staff or who wish to be actively involved in investment decisions, we augment their in-house resources with our robust manager networks and provide recommendations on asset allocation, portfolio structure, and manager selection.
Asset Class Mandates
For clients who wish to leverage our specialized investment skill and manager networks in private equity, hedge funds, real assets, private credit, co-investments, and secondaries, we manage asset class mandates on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis.
Our Locations
Headquartered in Boston, MA, Cambridge Associates maintains offices in major financial centers across North America, United Kingdom, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Oceania. Learn more.
