Fund Managers
Barnabas Foundation utilizes professional investment management firms to manage the assets in the Common Trust Fund. Since we can combine the assets of our donors and members in the Common Trust Fund, we have the ability to work with nationally-recognized investment management firms at competitive fee levels. Our highly-qualified investment committee, along with Merrill Lynch as fund custodian, oversees our investment managers. We believe that these carefully selected partnerships will ultimately benefit both our donors and our member organizations.
