TIFF Investment Management (Radnor, PA) has appointed Robert Durden (UVIMCO) and Katie Koch (GSAM) to its Board of Directors.

TIFF Investment Management has welcomed two new members to its Board of Directors—Robert Durden, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of University of Virginia’s Investment Company (UVIMCO), and Kathryn (Katie) Koch, Co-Head of Fundamental Equity at Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM). Robert and Kathryn join a reputable Board that has included and currently includes some of the most prominent CIOs, CEOs and other leaders in the nonprofit investment industry.

Their expertise will support TIFF’s asset allocation and portfolio construction, and bolster access to their network of investment managers and general market and investing insights. The deeply-experienced and highly-regarded board also provides governance oversight to TIFF as a nonprofit organization.

Robert manages UVIMCO’s Long-Term Pool, overseeing the asset allocation, portfolio management, risk management, and manager selection activities of the institution’s investment staff. Katie leads the GSAM team that manages a broad range of equity solutions on behalf of global institutional and individual clients and is a champion of Goldman Sachs’ diversity initiatives, including leading an investment team where approximately half the assets are managed by female portfolio managers. Both bring 38 collective years of institutional investing experience to TIFF’s prestigious board.
