Year after year,Yale's portfolio has trumped the marketplace by a wide margin, and, with over$20 billion added to the endowment under his twenty-three-year tenure, Swensenhas contributed more to Yale's finances than anyone ever has to any universityin the country. What may have seemed like one among many success stories in theera before the Internet bubble burst emerges now as a completely unprecedentedinstitutional investment achievement. In this fully revised and updated edition, Swensen, authorof the bestselling personal finance guide Unconventional Success, describes theinvestment process that underpins Yale's endowment. He provides lucid andpenetrating insight into the world of institutional funds management,illuminating topics ranging from asset-allocation structures to active fundmanagement. Swensen employs an array of vivid real-world examples, many drawnfrom his own formidable experience, to address critical concepts such as handlingrisk, selecting advisors, and weathering market pitfalls. Swensen offers clear and incisive advice, especially whendescribing a counterintuitive path. Conventional investing too often leads tobuying high and selling low.
