Our Commonfund Institute aims to be among the nation’s most trusted source for relevant, useful and proprietary data, analytics and best practices in financial management.

About Commonfund OCIO:

Commonfund OCIO, Inc. is an outsourced CIO solution designed to ensure that educational institutions, foundations, and other nonprofit organizations have the financial resources they need to achieve their most important commitments. By assuming responsibility for managing each client’s complex, global portfolio, we provide a depth of investment experience and breadth of resources that few institutions have access to on their own. Because of our singular focus on nonprofits, we can provide assistance and insights to our clients that go well beyond investing, helping them with virtually every facet of managing the financial resources of their organization.

Position Overview:

Commonfund OCIO provides total portfolio management for endowment and foundation clients. Our total institutional approach to investment management involves addressing wide-ranging factors that extend well beyond portfolio management. We apply the endowment model of investing to institutional portfolios, providing investment flexibility by using independent sub-advisers for discretionary and non-discretionary outsourcing engagements. Our programs incorporate both active and passive strategies in equities, fixed income, hedge funds, real assets, and private capital.

Our Outsourced Chief Investment Office Team takes a total institutional approach to investment management, addressing wide-ranging factors that extend well beyond portfolio management. We work collaboratively with our clients on all aspects of portfolio management, including investment policy review, asset allocation, portfolio construction, monitoring, rebalancing, risk management and reporting.

The Summer Intern program will provide exposure to the investment and financial world of asset management. It offers an opportunity to work alongside professionals with a range of experiences that support client-related needs across select teams at Commonfund. The intern will gain exposure to various aspects of the investment process including the different asset classes in which Commonfund invests.

We are currently seeking candidates for a 10-week internship position starting in the summer of 2027. The position would be within Commonfund OCIO’s Investment team, with consideration for converting the individual into a full-time employee upon graduation.

The program runs for 10 weeks from May 26 until August 4, 2026. This role can be based in our Norwalk, CT or New York City office.
