UCLA Is Well Endowed But Seems to Have Problems of Performance

The Regents' Investment Committee is meeting on September 25 and one of the items on the agenda is a look at what the various campus foundations are doing with their endowment investments.  Above is a chart showing the asset mix of the different campuses as of March.  [Click on the chart to enlarge and make clearer.]  UCLA seems to be lower than the typical for the campuses in what might be viewed as conventional investments, i.e., equities and fixed income (and cash).  It seems higher in such categories such as real estate, private equity, commodities, and absolute return (which a footnote identifies as hedge funds and the like).

UCLA's non-conventionality does not seem to be producing higher returns, however, whether in the short run or the long term, as the chart below shows:
In all duration categories, UCLA has a lower return than the median.  It will be interesting to see if the Regents have any thoughts about this information.  UCLA has the largest pool of assets of any campus as the chart below indicates, so presumably the Regents might pay special attention to its results.
Note: The charts above are from the report at

Yet it's not a good idea to get carried away and make the blog about your family or outside interests. There is a way to show personality while keeping things professional. If you would think twice before saying something in a phone call or email to a customer, you should leave it out of your blog.
