There was some interesting reading today looking at various portfolio construction and strategy issues. First up is that the Yale Endowment was up 1.8% in the year ending June 30th. As these sorts of pools of capital go, Yale is considered to be very sophisticated and has a long track record of using alternatives to outperform the market. For the year, that 1.8% lagged far behind the Vanguard Balanced Index Fund (VBAIX) which is a proxy for a 60/40 portfolio.
