Matthew L.

The best book on endowment and foundation investing

Reviewed in Canada on 20 July 2017

A must-read for long-term institutional investors. Clearly explains the bias towards equities and alternatives at the Yale endowment, while emphasizing that the focus on alternatives is only appropriate for the largest, most skilful and resolute investors. Provides a masterful exposition of how institutions seek to balance investment policy (increasing long-term purchasing power) against spending policy (supporting short- to intermediate-term operational needs). Offers unparalleled insight into the qualitative aspects of investment management, including how to structure investment committee meetings and how to build successful relationships with external investment managers. The appendix (Impure Fixed Income) on why investors should prefer government bonds over corporate bonds - because of the former's superior credit, liquidity, non-callability and alignment of interest with investors - will help many institutions reflect on why they invest in bonds in the first place. Required reading for institutional investors of all sizes and strongly recommended for the serious individual investor.
