UPFRONT

New CIO Alice Ruth ’83 focuses on “risk-adjusted return.”

For Ruth, the opportunity to oversee Dartmouth’s endowment and other funds is more than the latest entry on an impressive resume of wealth management for the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and Willett Advisors, the money-management firm for Michael Bloomberg and his family foundation. Having served on the College’s investment committee, Ruth says, “made a world of difference because I knew I was getting into a functioning team and a solid portfolio.” Also a consideration, she says, was wanting to work for the College, “which has played such an important role in my life.”
