Brown Beats Harvard, Trounces Yale

We refer, of course, to investment results, not football.

For fiscal 2019, Brown's endowment recorded an investment return of 12.4%

Harvard reported 6.5%.

Yale, a meager 5.7%

Over the same period, a plain vanilla portfolio of 60% stocks, 40% bonds returned 9.4% and the S&P 500 delivered 10.4%.

So take heart! Even the Ivy League elite aren't invincible.
