Harvard Management Co. may sound like the name of just another braintrust, but don't be fooled: it's the high-powered
investment firm managing Harvard's whopping $30 billion endowment.
About 170 investment professionals situated across three floors of Boston's Federal Reserve building are busy on phone and
computer-managing funds in everything from stocks to real estate, and making use of a network that connects into the Depository
Trust and Clearing Corp., the international SWIFT banking network as well as a disaster-recovery facility connected by dark
fiber several miles away.
