Asset Allocation
Managing the Endowment
Investing across multiple asset classes is key to growing the endowment and managing risks appropriately. The Target Portfolio Asset Allocation chart illustrates the asset classes in which the Endowment Fund invests.
The Committee on Investments of the University’s Board of Trustees establishes an asset allocation policy for the Endowment Fund. This policy includes assigning target weights (in percentages) to various asset classes. A composite benchmark is derived from this asset allocation policy to measure the performance of the Fund. As a secondary performance objective, the Fund seeks to outperform this composite benchmark over longer periods of time.
