Overview:
Morgan Creek Capital Management, LLC is a SEC-registered investment adviser providing investment management services to institutions and wealthy families. We provide a customized investment solution to clients in need of a targeted investment program, as well as discretionary strategies to assist clients in building investment programs based on the University Endowment Model. We provide Asset Allocation, Manager Selection, and Portfolio Construction.
Morgan Creek was founded in July 2004 by Mark W. Yusko, former Chief Investment Officer of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ("UNC") Endowment. The core of the Morgan Creek investment team has worked together in a fiduciary capacity for many years managing one of the most complex endowment management programs in the country. Mr. Yusko and Managing Director Mike Hennessy were responsible for building the Investment Office and subsequent Management Company operations for the UNC Endowment, and they worked closely with the Investment Fund Board to develop investment policy, set goals and objectives, establish a strategic framework, select investment managers and manage portfolio risk.
Nearly a quarter of our investment team have endowment backgrounds at some of the top university programs in the country (Notre Dame, UNC, Duke and Stanford), while other members of the team have institutional and private wealth investment experience. We believe this combination of experiences has provided the firm with one of the strongest investment teams in the world.
At Morgan Creek, we believe that we are first and foremost investors, not simply allocators of capital. As investors, we make active investment decisions to add value within our clients' portfolios and our discretionary funds. These investment decisions and active asset allocation shift based upon our views of the economy and market environment.
Morgan Creek offers other competitive advantages and differentiators such as:
Experience managing assets in fiduciary capacity
Expertise in alternative assets
Access to what we consider to be top-tier managers
World-class global investment team
We have 62 employees in offices around the world, including 25 investment professionals. Our headquarters are located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In addition, we have offices in New York, Shanghai and Singapore. |

History:
Morgan Creek was founded in July 2004 by Mark W. Yusko, former Chief Investment Officer (“CIO”) of the $1.2 billion University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (“UNC”) Endowment, and other experienced professionals including Mike Hennessy, Dutch Kuyper and Dennis Miner. The core of the Morgan Creek investment team has worked together for many years in a fiduciary capacity managing one of the most complex endowment management programs in the country. Mr. Yusko and Mr. Hennessy were responsible for building the Investment Office and subsequent Management Company operations for the UNC Endowment and worked closely with the Investment Fund Board to develop investment policy, set goals and objectives, establish a strategic framework and select investment managers while managing portfolio risk.
Among the most important differentiators of Morgan Creek as an investment advisor and manager is our many years of experience integrating alternative investments into traditional portfolios. We have built a reputation of being a forward-thinking investor in the areas of hedge funds, private equity, real estate, energy and natural resources and have established relationships with many of the leading firms in these areas, resulting in access to talented investment managers for our clients.
In April 2005, Morgan Creek entered into a joint venture with Julian H. Robertson, Jr. and Tiger Management LLC (“Tiger Management”) to develop an investment platform through an affiliate called Tiger Select Fund Management, LLC. |
