Endowment boards need to have expectations as to how asset allocation and positioning is going to impact short-term results, an interim CIO at a university said, during a conference held in Miami this week.
The school decided against divesting its endowment from companies and industries implicated in military and police violence in Gaza and the West Bank as the portfolio had a de minimis exposure to identified stocks.
The governor signed a law that goes into effect this week that bars state colleges or universities in the state from considering ESG-related factors when making an investment decision.
