Portfolio Analytics Analyst

Overview

About Princo

Princo is widely recognized as an innovative leader in the investment management industry. We manage Princeton University’s $36 billion Endowment through a global network of top-tier investment firms that span both traditional and alternative asset classes such as public equities, private equity and venture capital, hedge funds and real estate.

The Endowment provides critical support of Princeton University’s mission to be a world-class research and higher education institution. The returns on the Endowment generate about two-thirds of the University’s net annual operating revenues and help fund the University’s highest priority strategic initiatives, such as major investments in bioengineering, quantum science and artificial intelligence. Notably, the investment program’s strength has allowed the University to initiate and expand its pioneering financial aid program.

The University is able to admit students without regard to their financial circumstances, and its financial aid program makes it possible for students to graduate with no debt.
