Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 3936479, member: 44"] Not much. It is as high as it has ever been. Traditionally UConn has relied on the state's largesse to fund it so there was not a priority in fund raising and building up an endowment. The state's financial status that has changed so the university is increasing gradually but we have lost time value by not starting, say, 50 years ago. On average the market grows about 11% per year. Some of these big endowments are less a function of one guy writing huge checks than prudent investment beginning decades ago. [/QUOTE]
