Radnor, PA – June 27, 2022 – TIFF Investment Management (“TIFF”), the not-for-profit OCIO focused on serving nonprofits with $7.8 billion AUM, including committed capital, today announced it has appointed Alyssa Rieder, Chief Investment Officer at CommonSpirit Health, and Rick Slocum, Chief Investment Officer at Harvard Management Company (“HMC”), to the Board of Directors of TIFF Advisory Services, Inc. Alyssa and Rick join the Board that includes some of the most prominent CIOs, CEOs, and leaders within the nonprofit investment industry.

Their investment expertise along with their extensive knowledge of the nonprofit industry will support TIFF’s asset allocation and portfolio construction, provide general market and investing insights, as well as experienced Board governance and oversight.

Alyssa oversees the investment team at CommonSpirit Health and its $50 billion investment program comprised of corporate, retirement, foundation, and self-insurance assets. She led the ten-fold growth of the program through a combination of organic growth and merger integration, demonstrates a thorough understanding of enterprise risk implications for strategic asset allocation, and is a recognized leader in sustainable investing.

Rick oversees the investment team at HMC and a portfolio of more than $53 billion.
