OUEM & The University

Working at the heart of the collegiate system

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of the University of Oxford, OUEM provides investment services exclusively for the University, colleges, and other charitable trusts whose objectives are for the benefit of the collegiate University of Oxford.

The endowments invested through OUEM have often been built up over many years, and play an important role in supporting academic and student activity across the collegiate university. They include gifts and donations given for a range of purposes, from benefiting a college generally, to supporting a specific scholarship.

OUEM exists to provide a professional investment opportunity for these valuable endowments. The governance structure in place enables OUEM to provide its investment services to the collegiate university and allows responsibilities and duties to be clearly defined. OUEM reports to the University's Investment Committee, and to the University's executive governing body, Council.
