CWPIM

Scott Malpass serves as Chief Investment Officer, a role he assumed in 2022. Malpass previously spent 32 years managing the University of Notre Dame's endowment, growing it to roughly $19 billion and earning a reputation as one of the top-performing endowment CIOs in the United States. He leads the firm's investment committee alongside a team that includes former Notre Dame investment office colleagues (per Pensions & Investments, 2023).

CWPIM specializes in institutional fixed-income and public equity separate-account mandates. The fixed-income strategies center on investment-grade corporate credit and structured products, while the equity strategies emphasize concentrated, valuation-driven large-cap domestic portfolios. The firm does not publicly market private-market, hedge fund, or real asset strategies.

CWPIM operates as a privately held, employee-owned registered investment advisor (RIA) based in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1998, the firm remained low-profile until its 2022 operational re-launch with Scott Malpass as CIO. The partnership structure means investment professionals hold equity, aligning their incentives with long-term client outcomes rather than quarterly asset-gathering.

No. Scott Malpass left his role as Notre Dame's CIO in 2020 after 32 years. CWPIM is a separate entity unaffiliated with the university. The endowment's current management team operates independently in South Bend, Indiana. Malpass joined CWPIM two years after departing Notre Dame (per Pensions & Investments, 2023).

CWPIM's public strategies focus on public-markets separate accounts rather than commingled funds or co-investment vehicles. The firm has not disclosed participation in GP-sponsored co-investment programs, club deals, or private-market direct investments. Its mandate architecture emphasizes liquid public portfolios managed on a discretionary basis.
