TIFF’s Dedicated Sustainable Strategies Mark One-Year Anniversary

RADNOR, PA – July 2021

TIFF Investment Management (“TIFF”), an OCIO manager that oversees $7.5 billion in assets, including committed capital, as of June 30, 2021, is pleased to announce the one-year anniversary of its dedicated sustainable strategies.

While the concept of “sustainable investing” has been garnering increasing interest in recent years, TIFF has long considered environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues when performing investment manager research.  In 2020, TIFF further expanded our ESG efforts by launching multiple dedicated sustainable strategies designed to help our nonprofit members invest using an ESG-focused approach.

TIFF’s sustainable strategies seek to invest while maintaining a positive environmental and social impact.  The strategies invest in managers TIFF believes are leaders in ESG integration and corporate engagement, as well as thematic managers investing in areas such as energy transition, resource efficiency, water, and healthcare.

TIFF’s sustainable strategies currently invest in public equities, hedge funds, and fixed income.  We engage deeply with our managers and our broader network of stakeholders on ESG and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues, seeking to promote best practices across the investment industry.  Through this work, we aim to meet our members’ investments goals while having a positive impact on the world.
