ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

From the start
The co-founders of Cambridge Associates (CA) started with what they knew. In 1973, former Harvard roommates James Bailey and Hunter Lewis began researching the endowment fund investments of their alma mater. Today, CA oversees hundreds of billions of dollars in assets for more than 800 institutional and private clients around the world, and its core client base continues to be nonprofits. The firm provides investment consulting, independent research and performance monitoring services, with its traditional consulting services centered on asset allocation and investment policy development, manager search and evaluation, performance measurement and reporting, and capital markets and manager research.

SURVEY SAYS

A revolving door
When it comes to moving up the ladder, insiders report that there are “two promotion points: senior consultant and managing director.” There’s no up-or-out policy, and “no set time frame for promotion to either positions,” although “there is a tenure requirement with respect to consideration for managing director (only four years).” A higher-up explains, “Promotion is entirely dependent on the individual and how they are progressing, which can make for some rapid promotions. If someone does not receive a promotion one year, they are considered again the next year.”
