Key Relationships
J. Ezra Merkin
board_member
Merkin served on the board of UJA-Federation and chaired its investment committee for 10 years. UJA had invested $10.5 million of its endowment in Merkin's Ariel fund before he joined the investment committee in 1999. The committee initially waived a conflict-of-interest rule to let the money stay, but in 2005 UJA revisited the rule and pulled the investment. This meant UJA was shielded from the Madoff collapse, unlike Yeshiva.
