Why have endowments outperformed traditional investments?
-
The alternatives effect By investing in less liquid alternatives, endowments are typically able to construct a higher yielding portfolio with less correlation to the broader markets. The quality of the manager Illiquid, alternative investments are more difficult to evaluate than publicly traded securities. Skilled managers that are adept at taking advantage of pricing inefficiencies in illiquid securities will have a greater impact on returns than skilled managers operating in the public markets, where price inefficiencies are fewer in number and there is generally less return potential.
