Investment Oversight

Investment Oversight: Diligent, Professional Guidance

At the Orange County Community Foundation, we employ a disciplined, transparent process for investing charitable assets that reflects a best-practices approach.

Our process is guided by a team of dedicated professionals who volunteer as members of our Investment Committee. The committee implements a strategy set by the Board of Governors with the guidance of Cambridge Associates investment advisors. The committee ensures that OCCF maintains a diversified portfolio of assets designed to maximize returns while minimizing risk. The Board approves asset allocation and reviews quarterly performance.
