The Value Perspective with David Salem
Our guest for this episode of our Allocator’s Edge mini-series is a true legend of the investment world, David Salem. David is currently the Managing Director of Capital Allocation at Hedgeye, a role he took on in 2023. Before that, he was the founding President and Chief Investment Officer of The Investment Fund for Foundations (TIFF) and a partner at GMO, where he worked closely with Jeremy Grantham on investment solutions for large institutional funds. David received a JD cum laude from Harvard Law School and an MBA with high distinction from Harvard Business School, where he was elected a Baker Scholar. David’s career spans public service, academia and philanthropy. He has served on boards including Middlebury College, the Core Knowledge Foundation and The Atlantic Philanthropies and worked closely with the legendary David Swensen at TIFF. In this episode we dig into David’s decision to leave GMO to build TIFF; his evolving approach to manager selection; whether manager selection is more important than asset selection; indexing versus cash; and finally, how the Trump administration’s tax plans may impact endowments. Enjoy!
