Scott Wilson is the CIO at Washington University of St. Louis,
where he oversees a $10 billion endowment. Scott joined Wash U
three years ago from Grinnell College, where he learned a
completely different style of endowment investing than is practiced
by others.
Our conversation covers Scott’s upbringing, early Wall Street
career in equity research and derivatives across New York, London
and Tokyo, and his leap to Grinnell. We then turn to his applying
the Grinnell model at Wash U, transitioning an endowment model
portfolio to a concentrated book. We touch on hedge funds and
frontier markets and turn to the process of underwriting individual
ideas and managers in the context of a concentrated endowment
portfolio.
