Greed and Capitalism

What kind of society isn't structured on greed? The problem of social organization is how to set up an arrangement under which greed will do the least harm; capitalism is that kind of a system.

David F. Swensen: The Money Management Gospel of Yale's Endowment Guru

  •  Fund of funds are a cancer on the institutional-investor world. They facilitate the flow of ignorant capital. If an investor can’t make an intelligent decision about picking managers, how can he make an intelligent decision about picking a fund-of-funds manager who will be selecting hedge funds? 
    There’s also more fees on top of existing fees. And the best managers don’t want fund-of-fund money because it is unreliable. You need to be in the top 10% of hedge funds to succeed.  
    In a fund of funds, you will likely be excluded from the best managers. 
    [Mr.] Madoff also relied enormously on these intermediaries. He wouldn’t have had nearly as much resources were it not for fund of funds.

    David Swensen revises asset allocation for individual investors

    Posted by: The Investment Scientist on: March 25, 2009
    • In: asset allocation

     
    In his book Unconventional Success: A Fundamental Approach to Personal Investment, Swensen recommends the following allocations, for individual investors who want a “well-diversified, equity-oriented portfolio”:
    30% Domestic stock funds
    20% Real estate investment trusts
    15% U.S. Treasury bonds
    15% U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities
    15% Foreign developed-market stock funds
    5% Emerging-market stock funds
    In an interview with Yale magazine, Swensen said, economic conditions might call for a modest revision. He now recommends that investors have 15 percent of their assets in real estate investment trusts, and raise their investment in emerging-market stock funds to 10 percent.

    The following illustrates an implementation of the Swensen allocation with a strong small and value tilt. Despite having only 70% in equity, it has outperformed the benchmark S&P 500.
