A College with a Small Endowment Moves Away from Cautious Investments.

Nicklin, Julie L.

Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n30 pA31-A32 Apr 4 1997

Merrimack College (Massachusetts) has abandoned conservative strategies for investing its $16-million endowment, investing more in international stocks and bonds, real estate projects, and small companies to raise annual returns and increase endowment value. The small, Catholic college is heavily dependent on tuition. The diversification plan began in 1995 and has had no opposition. (MSE)
