"The famous professors at Yale have proven that asset allocation accounts for 90% of a portfolio’s return "...I think that they suggested that it AA accounts for 90% of a potfolio's return VARIATION. Reply

Short, hedged, or out are good options if you are a TRADER. If you are a long term investor who is dollar cost averaging, then this market turmoil is nothing but a series of buying opportunities. These portfolios are for the long haul.~X~ Reply

Wonder why none of these guys would consider any of the inverse funds, be they stock, bond, currency, commodity, etc.? When you are in a Bear market, you should be either short, hedged, or out. I assume most would agree that we are in a Bear market. Could it be over? Yes. Could it get better? Yes. Could it get worse? Yes. Could it get much much worse? Of Course.

Had it not been for commodities, they wouldn't have had good numbers. They got lucky this year. As commodities starting pulling back in June, they luckily quickly managed to escape the year.The volatility is going to go up as the commodities sector gets more volatile with time. Reply

Performance for Harvard, Yale Endowments in 2008 [view article]
RememberCTR...You state that "Yale, Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Princeton did not grow to be $15-40 Bn funds on donations"....you... correct, but don't discount the compounding effect of donations which span, in Harvard's case, the 138 years since the endowment's inception (ie. aprox. 1870); it's a stable source of annual liquidity from the most affluent alumni in the world. And, as to the question about whether I enjoy shooting from the hip, I can answer unabashedly, "Of course I do, Isn't that what the world of blogging is all about?"Market Student, says that "A 50% YTD return is very impressive. Could you please publish your portfolio for us to view?". I would if I could, but what I was actually trying do was make a point, utilizing the literary techniques of sarcasm and gross exaggeration, to emphasize that a fund manager should not provide total returns without calculating in mark to market or unrealized losses. Otherwise, we're talking fictional returns. Reply

I believe that many of the current bloggers would like to know the extent to which Harvard, Yale, Stanford, CALPERS, and University of North Calolina - as example - have - over the past 8 years since the turn of the century - allocated a percentage of their total assets to funds managed by sub advisors who use Alternative Investment Starategies as independent hedge fund managers.Perhaps a spreadsheet showing the percent allocated to such managers by each institution during each of the past 8 years and the net after fee returns these managers returned - relative to the appropriate benchmark - to these endowmnt funds and to what extent they provided "value added' to the overall returns of the total endowment funds of each of these institutions required by law to provide "prudent man guidelines" to the management of such funds.
iI is my understandimg that most endowments of large universities such as the above and other non profit foundations and institutions have - over the past ten years added significant funds toward these AIS and that such allocations have in fact added substantial value to the overall returns of many of these institutions. Perhaps HFR might be able to shed some statistics. Reply

I am curious about the Harvard and yale's return stated here. They are impressive compared to my own dismayed return. I wonder from what period did they calculate the return? I hope this is not another story that encourages ordinary investors rushing back to the stock market again. ReplyPerformance for Harvard, Yale Endowments in 2008 [view article]
casey00001Tuition is going down. The endowments pay out on average 5% each year to the schools. In the last year all the schools changed tuition and economic scholarship rules. For example Stanford eliminated tuition for families that earn less than $100,000 a year. Yes, tuition is rising, but the rich kids are the only ones paying that tuition. And who ever liked the rich kid?

contrarian@coalmineIt sounds like you enjoy shooting from the hip. Look at the historical NACUBO data. Of the growth that the top endowments have seen in NAV since the late 1980's <10% is from donations. The endowments are impressive. Reply

So these endowments are the excuse for not lowering tuition? Also if they are doing so well, why isn't tuition going down? Reply
