Our local fire communities depend on us, and we’re here for them
At Seedvest, it’s good to lend your time and talent. Our seedvestcares program provides unlimited paid time-off so you can give back to your community and help transform the lives of others while inspiring a spirit of citizenship.
Seedvest's investment process and strategy embraces the Endowment Model, which is characterized by a focus on asset allocation as the primary driver of return, a value orientation, an appreciation for the liquidity premium, an opportunistic approach to assessing the role of investments within a portfolio, and a forward-thinking, dynamic ability to continuously challenge conventional thinking. Our investment philosophy comes from decades of experience leading the investment programs of some of the top university endowments in the country. We believe that investors should have the potential to benefit from access to the same sophisticated investment approach and talent as the largest university endowment programs.
The central tenets of our investment philosophy are we believe that:
Diversification of a portfolio, by asset class and within each asset class, has the potential to increase return and minimize risk through the reduction of portfolio volatility.
Integration of alternative investments into a traditional portfolio may reduce downside risk while resulting in access to talented investment managers.
Although generally efficient, markets contain pockets of inefficiency that may potentially be exploited through active management and tactical asset allocation.
Our philanthropic focus areas promote stability and aim to foster long-term success. By providing basic needs and supporting education, our program enables individuals and families to take control of their finances, gain financial independence, and achieve economic sustainability.
Our volunteer program, Seedvestcares, provides the opportunity to learn about the issues facing our communities and the chance to be part of the solution.
Employee leaders spearhead many of our volunteer projects and giving campaigns, infusing their passion for the cause into each initiative. In addition to the satisfaction that comes from helping others, seedvestcares activities build personal and professional skills such as leadership, strategic planning, communication, project management, and networking.
Employee fundraising happens throughout the year, with a variety of efforts aimed at providing financial support to our charitable partners and each other. Fundraising often complements the many volunteer projects organized by seedvestcares.
Seedvest’s Giving Circle provides a centralized place for seedvesters to share personal charitable interests beyond the firm’s philanthropic focus areas. Whether looking for donations, volunteers, or other support, the Giving Circle is a place where you can communicate your service interests to support each other’s community involvement outside of work.
