At abrdn, our goal is to empower universities and colleges to be better investors by creating bespoke, responsible investment solutions across institutions’ short, medium and long-term capital.

 

As an experienced and trusted partner for the higher education sector, we provide a full spectrum of capabilities – from end-to-end discretionary investment management to a broad array of individual funds. 

Throughout, we adopt a holistic ‘three pot’ approach to partnering with HEI clients across their assets:

  1. Short-term: Cash and liquidity
    • Example solution: AAA-rated money market funds targeting security, diversification and liquidity
  2. Long-term investment: Discretionary managed portfolio / funds
    • Example solution: diversified portfolio targeting CPI + 3.5%, responsibly invested
  3. Private markets: Private assetsportfolio
    • Example solution: private assets portfolio of infrastructure, private equity/credit and real estate targeting diversification and a return premium over public markets

Underpinning our work with the sector is a focus on:

  1. Performance:Track record of investment excellence and unrelentingly focused on future returns
  2. Purpose: Global leader in responsible investment with the scale and influence to improve environmental and social outcomes
  3. Partnership: Driven to become a trusted investment partner and create a portfolio that truly reflects clients’ values and motivations
