Borts brings deep expertise in customized investment solutions for sophisticated endowments and foundations.

Radnor, PA – September 14, 2026 – TIFF Investment Management (TIFF) announced that Andrew Borts has joined the firm as Executive Director of the Client CIO Group. In this role, Borts will work with TIFF clients to develop tailored investment strategies, establish strategic asset allocations, and provide senior-level investment counsel that sophisticated endowments and foundations increasingly require.

“As institutions grow, their portfolios, governance and investment needs become more complex,” said Jessica Portis, Chief Client Officer. “We are deliberately building a Client CIO team with the investment depth and institutional experience to advise clients through that complexity. Andrew has operated at that scale and understands how to translate sophisticated investment capabilities into strategies tailored to an institution’s objectives. We are thrilled to have him join our team.”

Borts joins TIFF from Morgan Stanley, where he served as a multi-asset portfolio manager, working with institutional clients, with an average relationship size of $500 million. His experience spans strategic asset allocation, portfolio construction, public and private manager selection, liquidity planning, investment policy design, and governance support. He will be based in TIFF’s Boston office and will partner with the business development team in cultivating relationships with prospective institutional clients.

“Endowments and foundations need more than access to investments, they need a partner who understands their objectives, governance structure, and the tradeoffs involved in building a long-term portfolio,” said Borts. “TIFF’s combination of deep investment capabilities and a long history of serving nonprofit institutions was particularly compelling to me in this new role. I am excited to work directly with clients to build investment programs around their individual needs.”

TIFF’s Client CIO Group combines portfolio construction and investment expertise with strategic advice on asset allocation, governance, liquidity, and investment policy, working alongside boards and investment committees to build durable long-term investment programs.

Andrew Murray and Stephen Grau join TIFF Investment Management to lead the Secondaries practice within the firm’s broader alternatives strategy.

Radnor, PA – July 7, 2026 – TIFF Investment Management (TIFF) today announced the appointment of Andrew Murray, Managing Director, Head of Secondary Investing, and Stephen Grau, Executive Director, Secondary Investing, to lead TIFF’s private equity Secondaries practice, adding dedicated senior resources to TIFF’s broader alternatives platform. Together, they bring more than three decades of combined experience across private equity secondaries, advisory, and investing.

TIFF has been active in the secondaries market as part of its alternative investment strategy, and these appointments formalize and expand the firm’s capabilities in this growing area. With dedicated leadership in place, TIFF is positioned to more efficiently source, evaluate, and execute secondary opportunities across a range of private equity situations, including traditional LP fund interests, co-investments, GP-led transactions, continuation vehicles, and other investment vehicles that hold private equity assets.

“Secondaries have become an increasingly important part of the private markets toolkit as investors look for more flexible ways to manage liquidity, pacing, and private equity exposure,” said Kane Brenan, Chief Executive Officer of TIFF. “Andrew and Stephen bring focused expertise to an area where we see a clear investment opportunity on behalf of our clients and where we can leverage our long-standing relationships, lower-middle-market private equity experience, and history of evaluating these types of opportunities.”

Brendon Parry, Head of Private Markets and Deputy CIO of TIFF added, “We are thrilled to add two seasoned private equity experts to our broader team. Andrew and Stephen bring a wealth of deal experience and relationships that should enhance TIFF’s overall private equity investment program and make us more critical to our underlying general partners.”

With expected target transaction sizes ranging from $2 million to $20 million, TIFF’s Secondaries team will focus on inefficient segments of the market, including smaller, more complex private equity secondary transactions where TIFF believes its experience, relationships with quality sponsors, and institutional process can create value.

“TIFF is well positioned to capitalize on growth in this market, with long-standing relationships, deep experience as both a direct and fund investor in lower-middle-market private equity, and a foundation that supports an active, outbound secondaries strategy,” said Andrew Murray. “I’m excited to partner with Stephen as we build out more dedicated resources and capabilities to meet evolving client needs.”

The creation of a dedicated Secondaries team is intended not only to benefit investors who may be seeking shorter-duration private equity exposure, but also GPs and holders of existing private equity assets. With TIFF’s deep experience in the alternatives sector, the firm aims to serve as a responsive, transparent counterparty for tailored liquidity solutions. The team is designed to provide rapid pricing, efficient execution, and a long-term relationship approach.

“Clients want more flexible ways to access alternatives, while GPs and asset holders need experienced counterparties who understand the assets and can move efficiently,” said Stephen Grau. “TIFF’s platform gives us the ability to bring both sides together with discipline, transparency, and a focus on durable relationships.”

Prior to joining TIFF, Murray helped build and lead secondary investment efforts at Mill Creek Capital Advisors. Grau has spent the past seven years working on large global secondary advisory teams at leading investment banks Lazard and Jefferies. Murray and Grau have also previously worked together at Morgan Stanley, giving TIFF an established team with a shared investment approach and a clear strategy for scaling its Secondaries capabilities.
