Desk KPIs

#1
Endowment Median Return (FY)
9.4% (NACUBO)
MANUAL
NACUBO annual endowment return survey median. Your primary peer benchmark. Outperforming = mandate security. Underperforming = investment committee questions. Know this number.
#2
Yale Endowment Model Alloc (Alt %)
68% alternatives
MANUAL
Yale's alternative asset allocation — the benchmark for endowment model investing. Rising alternatives = following Yale model. Peer average now 38% alternatives and growing.
#3
Real Return Required (Spending Policy)
~5.0% real
MANUAL
Required real return to sustain 5% annual spending + maintain purchasing power + cover fees. At 4.28% 10Y yield, bond-heavy portfolios fall short. Drives illiquid allocation rationale.
#4
PE Distribution Rate (LP DPI)
0.41x DPI
MANUAL
Distributions to paid-in capital across PE industry. Low DPI = endowments receiving less cash than expected. Stresses short-term spending policy compliance for smaller endowments.
#5
Inflation (Endowment Corpus Erosion)
2.8% PCE
FRED · PCEPILFE
Inflation erodes endowment corpus in real terms. At 2.8%, a 9.4% nominal return is +6.6% real — above the 5% spending policy + 2% inflation target needed to sustain perpetually.
#6
PE Secondary Market Pricing
86¢ of NAV
MANUAL
Secondary bids for PE fund interests. Below par = LP liquidity available at a discount. Rising toward par = PE liquidity improving. Relevant for endowments needing liquidity outside distributions.
#7
Foundation Payout Requirement
5% of assets
MANUAL
IRS minimum distribution requirement for private foundations. Unlike endowments, foundations must distribute 5% annually — regardless of investment returns or distribution timing.
#8
MSCI World (Equity Anchor)
8.4% YTD
MANUAL
Global equity benchmark. Largest driver of annual endowment returns for diversified portfolios. Outperformance vs. this signals alternatives alpha is working.

The desk focuses on signals including Endowment Median Return (FY), Yale Endowment Model Alloc (Alt %), Real Return Required (Spending Policy), PE Distribution Rate (LP DPI), and related indicators.

Desk status: Core desk. Reference values are not presented as live production feeds. Source cadence and methodology are documented on the methodology page.
