Abstract
Yale University's investment office was responsible for managing its endowment, which totaled nearly USD4 billion in June 1995. Yale had developed a rather different approach to endowment management, including substantial investments in 'less efficient' equity markets such as private equity, real estate, and 'absolute return' investments. The investment office was now considering devoting even more of their assets to these markets.
