Amy Falls is the CIO at Northwestern University, where she
oversees the school’s $14.2 billion endowment that supports
university operations and funds about a quarter of the University’s
annual revenue. She also serves on the Board of Harvard Management
Company, the Ford Foundation, Phillips Academy, and the Pete
Peterson Foundation.
Our conversation covers Amy’s background and path to Northwestern, frameworks she learned along the way, and different challenges she faced in three different CIO seats. We then turn to her thoughts on manager selection, liquidity, and across asset classes, covering fixed income, private credit, private equity, public equity, and China. We close with Amy’s insights from her experience working with investment committees and parallels between her passion for farming and investing.
