Study: Educational Endowments' Investment Returns Averaged 15.5 Percent in FY2014

Commenting on the return data, NACUBO President and Chief Executive Officer John D. Walda said, “Perhaps the most significant finding is the rise in longer-term returns, which will be very beneficial to colleges and universities that are seeking to serve a broader variety of students than ever before. A higher level of long-term returns enables them to support their missions while remaining on a sound financial footing.”
