The Yale Investments Office manages the university's endowment and related assets that aim to support an operating budget for current scholars and preserve purchasing power for future generations. Yale's breakthrough ideas and initiatives in endowment investing have influenced universities and foundations around the world. Totaling $41.4 billion as of June 30, 2022, Yale’s endowment pursues an investment strategy constructed to produce superior long-term performance through the careful consideration of risk and return across a diversified portfolio of asset classes, including public equities, absolute return, leveraged buyouts, venture capital, and real assets, and through astute selection of external investment managers within those asset classes.
