2025 Investment Technology Summer Analyst

Princeton University Investment Company (PRINCO)

PRINCO is widely recognized as an innovative leader in the investment management industry. We manage Princeton University’s $34 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.

PRINCO is a small, flat organization that values open debate and independent thinking. The entire investment team, from Analysts to the Chief Investment Officer, works together on an open floor plan and makes investment decisions collaboratively. Each investment professional gains broad exposure to all asset classes, with a focus on one or two. 

PRINCO seeks to earn outstanding long-term investment returns in support of the University’s financial aid, teaching, and research mission. The combination of PRINCO’s distinctive investment philosophy and the perpetual nature of the Endowment creates a compelling intellectual challenge. PRINCO has a long history of superior performance, with returns that have consistently placed in the top echelon of institutional investors. 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. Endowment funds currently cover 70% of the undergraduate financial aid budget, which has supported the University’s efforts to increase the socioeconomic diversity of the student body. 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.
