1% in an 8% World

Every year I do a table that updates endowment and pension returns over the year prior.  Since most funds fiscal year ends June 30th, we should have results trickling in in the next month or two.  For a primer on why these funds are going to never ever hit their 8% target read these two pieces:  8%?  Try 4% and What if 8% is Really 0%?  I also liked Bogle – The Lessons of History. ( I was considering titling this post “The Revenge of 60/40” in reference to an old post from 2009).

US Stocks:  5.45%

Foreign Stocks:  -13.38%

US 10 Year:  16.28%

REITs:  12.65%

Commodities:  -10.74%

60/40:  10.41%

Ivy buy and hold allocation from book:  2.15%

Median public pension: 1.15%

CalPers:  1%

Stanford:  1.0%

Yale:  4.7%

Harvard: -0.1%

Penn:  1.6%

MIT:  8.0%

Duke:  1.0%

UVa:  5.1%
