Yale's new CIO, Matthew Mendelsohn, cut his LP teeth on venture, and now reveals that Yale's venture portfolio "represents a quarter of its entire fund and has returned an average of 21.6% a year, well above the 12.4% of the endowment as a whole."
Matthew Mendelsohn's promotion says a lot about how important VC has become for big endowments.
Yale revealed its venture portfolio represents a quarter of its entire $31b fund and has been by far the best performer, returning 21.6% a year.
