Inside Notre Dame’s Investment Philosophy

For Tim Dolezal ’02, vice president and chief investment officer at Notre Dame, managing the University’s investment portfolio is more than a financial responsibility—it’s a mission-driven calling a lifetime in the making.

Tim shares how Notre Dame’s long-term investment strategy has earned top-tier returns while prioritizing expanded scholarship support, honoring donor intent, and advancing the University’s mission and values.

Join us as Tim reflects on how he and his team of fellow Notre Dame alums strike a careful balance between performance and purpose, and why they are so committed to, and grateful for, their work on behalf of the “family business” at Our Lady’s University.
