A Connecticut-based investment manager for endowments, schools, foundations and pension funds has opened an office in Buckhead.

Commonfund, with $26 billion in assets under management, opened its new offices at 3340 Peachtree Road, the company said Tuesday.

The firm has more than 1,500 institutional clients, and the Atlanta office will serve Southeastern nonprofits and provide a base to recruit new clients.

Commonfund managing directors Laurie Bagley and William Moore will operate out of the Atlanta office, the company said.
