<p>WSJ had a small article on endowment figures being released this am…here’s a quote:</p>
<p>"Colleges and universities earned an average investment return of 10.7% on their endowments during fiscal 2006, narrowly beating the Standards & Poor’s 500-stock index, according to national survey results.</p>
<p>As usual, the largest endowments performed the best. Schools with endowments of $1 billion or more earned 15.2%…Colleges with less than $25 million earned 7.8%."</p>
<p>The article goes on to cite Harvard (#1 endowment) earning 16.7% to an endowment now of $29.2 billion, and MIT (#6 endowment) earning a 23% return (wow) to an endowment now of $8.4 billion.</p>
