Although universities with mega endowments make the headlines, 70 percent of all endowments are less than $100 million. Institutions with smaller endowments tend to invest very differently. The perception of risk can leave potential return on the table. Panelists focus on the reasons institutions with smaller endowments sub-optimize their investment portfolios and offer a framework that can improve results. Such a framework will address spending decisions, operations, revenue composition and trends, liquidity analysis and needs, and aligning the portfolio with the institution’s risk profile.
