Makena Capital Management, LLC was formed in 2005 by senior executives from the Stanford Management Company and leading practitioners from elite North American endowments and foundations. We provide investment expertise, scale, and premier investment access to our client base of multigenerational pools of capital, including endowments, foundations, family offices, pensions and sovereign wealth funds. Alternative and private asset investing lies at the core of our investment process; we believe alternative and private assets play a key role in preserving and growing capital over a long time horizon by diversifying risk and return streams. We offer access to these selective investment opportunities through our discretionary, commingled vehicles: a multi-asset class, endowment portfolio, and single-asset class portfolios providing targeted exposure designed to complement a broad portfolio. Based in the heart of Silicon Valley in Menlo Park, California, our nearly 75-person team is solely focused on providing superior risk-adjusted returns and world class service to our clients.
