Episode #14 How To Make Money Investing Like Harvard And Yales Endowments

Most parents are terrified of the costs of college tuition and room and board fees that they will have to help pay for their childrens education. Every year for decades, the cost of college tuition and fees has increased faster than the rate of inflation in America.

To make matters worse, colleges have enjoyed endowments that have posted gains in their investments that have outpaced the stock market indexes. For a 10 year span from 1998-2008, Yale saw its endowment earn over a 17% annual rate of return on its investments. Harvards endowment earned over 15%, and the S&P 500 only returned a little over 7% during the same time span. So, the question becomescan average investors earn a return like these college endowments? What does it take? Can it be done? Can the average investor learn how to make money investing and earn a return like these college endowments?
