FundScore helps endowments and foundations evaluate GPs on the numbers that matter — and the values that matter. Private peer scoring, shared diligence, and a roster that’s intentionally small.
Your peers nominate and verify you. Every member is an endowment or foundation — no GPs, no placement agents, no press.
FundScore was founded by investment professionals who spent their careers inside endowments and foundations — evaluating GPs, sitting on LP advisory committees, and navigating the quiet frustration of making high-stakes allocation decisions with incomplete information.
They understood something that placement agents and consultants rarely acknowledge: the most useful signal on a manager isn’t in the pitch deck. It’s in the room after the meeting, in a call with a peer who allocated two years ago, in the question a fellow CIO thought to ask that you didn’t. That intelligence exists — it just has no reliable home.
Endowments and foundations occupy a distinct corner of the LP universe. Perpetual time horizons. Mission constraints. Governance structures that demand both financial prudence and values alignment. The diligence frameworks built for pension funds or sovereign wealth don’t fit. And the information asymmetry between GPs and this category of LP is, if anything, wider than anywhere else in the market.
FundScore exists to close that gap — not by hiring more analysts, but by making it structurally easier for the community to share what it already knows.
Managers don’t see scores, comments, or membership. Period. The room only works if the door stays closed.
Your org sees who said what. GPs and non-members never do. You control how much of your identity travels with your ratings.
Set custom weights for returns, risk, ESG, governance, and bespoke soft factors. Your investment policy, your scoring.
The goal isn’t to tell you what to think. It’s to surface what your peers actually experienced — so you can decide for yourself.
When a peer has already stress-tested a manager’s governance structure, climate commitments, or fee terms, that work doesn’t need to be repeated. Every rating and discussion thread is a contribution to a living diligence library your whole cohort benefits from.
Investment committees, spending policies, board mandates — endowments and foundations answer to stakeholders that other LPs don’t. FundScore is designed around that reality, with soft-factor scoring that maps directly to the questions your IC actually asks.
The more peer organizations participate, the richer the signal. A fund with ratings from fifteen similar institutions tells a fundamentally different story than one with three. Membership isn't just access — it's a contribution to the whole.
