Jewish Community Endowment Pool

Jewish Community Endowment Pool

The Jewish Community Endowment Pool was formed to consolidate endowment assets of Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston. Jim B. Bell directs day-to-day portfolio decisions. The structure allows other Jewish organizations to participate as limited partners. Allocations span marketable alternatives, real estate and real assets, and commodity strategies. Holdings include the PIMCO Commodity RealReturn Strategy Fund, iShares Gold Trust, and iShares Silver Trust. Geographic exposure covers North America and the Middle East & Central Asia. Co-investors comprise Tidewater Jewish Foundation since 2009, Hebrew College, Jewish Vocational Service Boston, and Facing History and Ourselves. The professional team remains small. Charlie Glassenberg serves as Vice President of Risk Management and Investment Partnerships. Combined Jewish Philanthropies maintains oversight through its board. No additional offices are disclosed. The pool operates as a limited partnership open to eligible Jewish communal entities rather than a closed single-family vehicle. This shared structure creates a distinct governance layer between CJP and participating organizations.
