The Long View—a series from GEM’s Deputy CIO, Matt Bank— explores a range of topics relevant to the fiduciaries and allocators of institutional capital.
In Part I of his three-part series on the Endowment Model, Deputy CIO Matt Bank discussed the problems with characterizing the model in static, monolithic terms, arguing for a more flexible and nuanced definition.
In Part II, he described some of the flaws in conventional ways that endowment portfolios are measured and evaluated, proposing instead a distinct set of guidelines for determining success.
In this final Part III, Bank examines what it will likely take to be successful investing endowment-style portfolios over the next decade. Even as markets become more competitive every day, he explains why he believes that a combination of institutionally driven portfolio construction, manager sourcing intensity, process efficiency, and organizational alignment is a clear path to differentiated success.
Deputy CIO Matt Bank joined Ted Seides on the Capital Allocators podcast for a wide-ranging discussion that covered Matt’s path to investing, GEM’s approach to risk, asset allocation, and manager selection, and more.
Let’s start a conversation about how we can help.
