Ohio State University Long Term Investment Pool

Ohio State University Long Term Investment Pool

The Office of Investments manages the Long Term Investment Pool for The Ohio State University. Vishnu Srinivasan serves as Vice President and Chief Investment Officer. The pool consolidates endowment gifts that fund scholarships, faculty positions, and research programs. No founding year for the investment office appears in public records. The allocation spans hedge funds, private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, and natural resources. Confirmed positions include limited partnership interests in Drive Capital and Rev1 Ventures. Geographic exposure centers on the United States with additional commitments to global external managers. Direct holdings encompass the Ohio State Energy Partners concession valued at $1.165 billion and a campus parking concession valued at $483 million. Co-investment and secondaries strategies supplement primary fund commitments. The investment team reports to the university Board of Trustees Finance Committee. July 2025: Srinivasan presented investment performance, asset allocation, and endowment growth at the Ohio State University Board of Trustees Meeting. The Ohio State University Foundation, established in 1985, serves as the primary gift-receiving vehicle and reported $318 million in giving. Additional offices are not disclosed. The pool maintains membership in NACUBO. The pool operates as a university endowment rather than a family office or independent asset manager. Governance flows through the Board of Trustees Finance Committee chaired by Stephen D. Steinour. Direct infrastructure assets and venture fund commitments create a hybrid profile that blends operating concessions with external manager exposure.
