At DUMAC, we pride ourselves on building meaningful, often multi-decade relationships with exceptional investment managers across asset classes and geographies. We seek partners who share our passion for investing, embrace a long-term perspective, and are committed to creating enduring partnerships.
We believe that casting the broadest net in manager sourcing captures the highest performing managers. Our goal is to ensure that we include all sources of manager talent. We do not require a certain length of track record or level of assets. We believe reducing these barriers to investment broadens the universe of managers that we can consider, increases alignment, and results in superior performance.
DUMAC has a history of successfully investing in emerging managers, providing essential seed and anchor capital on numerous occasions. Whether you’re an emerging manager, a “non-institutional” investor, or an established firm, we are eager to connect and explore opportunities together.
Reasons to Partner with DUMAC
Purposeful Impact
Your investment returns will directly support education, groundbreaking research, and a wide range of initiatives at Duke University. Additionally, they will benefit non-profit organizations across North Carolina through The Duke Endowment and advance the mission of the Duke University Health System.
Long-Term Partnership
We are long-term investors who strive to be more than capital providers but also great partners. While stable capital is at the core of what we deliver, we seek to add value whenever we can, be it through introductions within the broader Duke network or just thoughtful feedback.
Passion
Our team is driven by a genuine passion for investing, constantly seeking innovative strategies and opportunities
to generate long-term value. We are dedicated to rigorous research, disciplined execution, and a commitment to excellence in all market conditions.
