Brad Conger

Brad Conger is the Chief Investment Officer at Hirtle, Callaghan & Co., a $20 billion outsourced chief investment office (OCIO) based in Bryn Mawr, PA, where he oversees all investment decisions across both public and private markets for institutional and ultra-high-net-worth clients. His responsibilities include setting asset allocation, risk management, and manager selection—focusing on building portfolios with strong long-term earnings potential that prioritize attractive valuations over speculative, high-priced sectors such as AI hyperscalers and technology stocks.

Brad brings decades of experience with Hirtle Callaghan, previously serving as Deputy Chief Investment Officer and Co-Head of the Investment Strategy Group. He has deep expertise in public equities—including U.S. and global large-cap, small-cap, and defensive growth sectors—and private markets, particularly private equity and spinouts. Brad is recognized for his contrarian approach and for leading analysis on thematic trends, such as the structural decline of small-cap stocks and the impact of private markets on public equity returns.

He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA in Economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Brad is widely cited in industry media and broadcasts for his views on sector bubbles, market cycles, and institutional portfolio construction, and is praised for his disciplined investment process and ability to identify enduring profit power in non-tech compounders.
