What do JR Tolkien, Emma Watson, Oscar Wilde, Indira Ghandi, Margaret Thatcher, Niall Ferguson & Dr. Seuss have in common? They all attended Oxford University, which for nearly 1,000 years has been educating some of the brightest of British and Global youth.
To have proved so permanent and excellent is testimony to many forces, financial and educational. In this episode we’re delighted to have its founding Chief Investment Officer and CEO, Sandra Robertson, explain their approach, their investment goals, managing a foundation, and what excites her about the investment landscape.
She discusses managing an endowment, how a new manager becomes included in the Fund, and her thinking about risk. She explains her approach to hiring, encouraging a culture which prioritises straightforward talking, and the magic of the Oxford ecosystem.
