The Endowment

Welcome to the Investment Office at Bryn Mawr College

Our Mission

Our mission is to achieve intergenerational equity between both current and future generations of BMC students, faculty, and staff. To do this, we aim to provide long-term returns via our management of the Endowment, balancing both current and future goals and needs of the College. Previously, the Endowment was managed by a third-party provider until the College chose to in-source the investment function and established the Investment Office in October 2020.
