Corpus Christi College, Oxford University

Corpus Christi College was established in 1517 by Bishop Richard Fox. The endowment supports academic and public service programs at this constituent college of the University of Oxford. The college allocates 19.2 percent of assets to private equity with a 20 percent target. Holdings include direct ownership of approximately 6,000 acres of UK rural land and units in the Oxford University Endowment Management vehicle. Additional positions cover fixed-income funds and ESG strategies through managers such as Amundi. Geographic exposure centers on the United Kingdom with some global components via pooled funds. The endowment reports $254.77 million in assets. It maintains membership in Oxford University Endowment Management and engages property managers including Bidwells. A 2024 event participation occurred at the Lister Institute Annual Meeting in Oxford. The structure integrates direct real-asset ownership with pooled university-level investment management through OUem, creating a hybrid approach to deployment and oversight.
