Abstract
Using a sample of Investment Policy Statements from college and university endowments, the authors examine the form and use of these important documents. Direct examination of the IPS reveals subtleties that surveys may obscure. In addition to providing statistical insights into endowment management, the authors extract what they view as best practices from the Investment Policy Statements themselves. This study provides valuable insights for individual and institutional investors and their advisors.
