The Investment Committee is the primary vehicle for oversight of Christ Church’s endowment, and it includes both internal and external members, among them the CFO. The Chief Investment Officer will also be a member of Finance Committee, updating that committee on decisions taken by the Investment Committee and seeking approval on investment decisions over a certain level. They will also present the report of the Investment Committee directly to the Governing Body.
