Important: Directional Estimate Only

AskOak provides regression-based compensation estimates, based on public disclosures (including IRS Form 990 filings, job postings, and other institutional sources), intended to illustrate the general range of compensation for investment and investment operations roles within endowments and foundations. 

This model is not a substitute for professionally administered compensation surveys, which rely on normalized, validated, and position-matched peer data. Investment industry surveys for endowments and foundations are conducted by firms such as Aon, Mercer, SullivanCotter, Cambridge, and Croner (foundations only). Compensation decisions should incorporate formal survey benchmarks, role scope, performance, internal equity, governance considerations, and institutional context.
