"University endowment managers have generally outperformed the
market benchmarks. However, their knowledge has not been well
documented in any book. This book fills that gap and should be of
significant help to all those who want to learn from extensive
interviews with a number of endowment managers."--PREM JAIN,
McDonough Professor of Accounting and Finance, Georgetown

Learn how higher education's largest endowments consistently
achieve higher investment returns than the overall market.
The Chief Investment Officers who oversee the top academic
endowment funds manage over $400 billion in total assets. Over the
last ten years (1999-2009), large endowments returned an average of
6.1%, compared to the S&P 500 index average of -2.22%, an
outperformance difference of over 8%. With the recent sharp
economic downturn, and a decade of inflation-adjusted flat returns
in the overall equities market, institutional and individual
investors alike are looking to endowments for proven strategies for
improving the performance of their portfolios. "Outperform: Inside
the Investment Strategy of Billion Dollar Endowments" interviews
top CIOs from leading endowments, to detail how they consistently
outperform the market, what they predict for the coming years, and
how small investors can employ their investment philosophies.
