Endowment background

Since 1848, when founding Trustee John Wilder started a campaign to establish an endowment at the 人妻少妇专区 鈥� leading the effort with a gift of $10,000 鈥� continuous growth of the endowment has remained critical to Rochester鈥檚 future. As of June 30, 2024, Rochester鈥檚 Long Term Investment Pool (most of which is endowment) was valued at approximately $3.5 billion and is one of approximately 40 college and university endowments valued above $3 billion.

Rochester鈥檚 endowment is allocated to both publicly traded investments (domestic and international stocks and bonds) as well as alternative investments, including hedge funds, private equity, real assets (real estate and natural resources) and other assets. It holds more than half of its investments in alternatives. The allocation between traditional and alternative investments helps assure growth in favorable economic conditions and offers a measure of protection against severe losses during economic downturns. It is highly diversified and managed by approximately 100 external investment advisors located around the globe.
