AM24: Investment Management 101 for Small Endowments

Live Event: 07/22/2024 at 3:15 PM (EDT)


Back to Package

This session will explain the benefits of passive investing and how an endowment can be constructed entirely with exchange traded funds (ETF). The speakers will cover the goals and objectives of the investment process, the determination of asset classes, how ETFs can enhance an actively managed portfolio, and the impact of fees on investment returns. To illustrate the passive investment process, they’ll also share five sample portfolios and compare their annualized returns to the 2023 NACUBO-Commonfund Study of Endowments for the past 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods.

Learning Objectives

  • Differentiate between active and passive investment strategies
  • Identify the benefits of a passive investment strategy and how this strategy can enhance an institution's bottom line
  • Develop a plan to potentially improve both institutional and personal financial performance
