Rooted in the Endowment Model
When the late David Swensen was appointed CIO of the Yale endowment in 1985, the vast majority of its roughly $1 billion portfolio consisted of stocks, bonds, and real estate. Over the next decade, Swensen and Yale would pioneer an revolutionary model of diversification. Yale re-allocated capital from stocks and bonds into so-called alternative investments such as private equity, venture capital, and hedge funds. At the heart of Yale's model is "absolute return" (i.e., hedge funds) which today represent about 20% of Yale’s $40 billion+ endowment. At VenHedge, we draw inspiration from the Yale approach by utilizing hedge funds as a core source of portfolio diversification.
