Investor Details Founded: 1987
Princeton University Investment Company (Princo) is responsible for managing Princeton University's endowment, which stood at $36.4 billion as of June 30, 2025. Princo employs a distinctive investment philosophy and culture, emphasizing open debate and independent thinking within its dynamic and diverse team. The organization is committed to providing critical support to the university, aligning with its mission to invest wisely and do good.
Established in 1987, Princo has grown from managing $2.2 billion in assets to overseeing one of the largest university endowments in the United States. The endowment's average annual return over the past 20 years is 9.5%, ranking among the top 1% of all institutional investors. Princo's work plays a vital role in supporting Princeton University's financial aid, teaching, and research initiatives, with endowment returns generating about two-thirds of the university's net annual operating revenues.
Princo's organizational model is unique, operating as a university office distinct from the university itself. While it is not a separate legal entity, Princo staff members are university employees, and the president reports to both the university president and the chair of the Princo Board of Directors. This structure allows Princo to act independently within policy guidelines, focusing on execution while directors provide policy insights and share investment knowledge from their respective areas of the financial world.
