Harvard endowment equity share near 1 percent

Equities represent a near single digit percentage, around 1 percent, of Harvard’s endowment.

Dave Collum, a professor and financial commentator, observed that broader asset allocation details for the endowment remain unspecified, suggesting a substantial portion of the portfolio may be in other asset types.

Collum has recently surveyed market participants on the potential severity of equity declines in the next bear market, as reported in his equity market outlook. In a separate warning, he predicted a bear market of unknown duration that could persist for years or decades, according to his market warning. These observations come amid ongoing attention to asset allocation within major endowments.
