If you mean, 13% of US endowment, then.... well, wherever you read that, the writer did some bad math. It's sort of a like a "well, duh" statement, because the UK has 126 unis, and in the states there are more than 3000. A little comparison comparison... 2/126 have 70%, 8/3000+ have 13%... It makes sense that Oxbridge's percentage of the UK endowments would be larger. You really can't compare the two figures at all.
