OU endowments fare well

The NCSE Study of Endowments for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, revealed that Oakland’s endowment performance exceeded its peers for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. Endowment investment performance net of fees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, was 19.68 percent.
