Tóm tắt

Obwohl Universitätsendowments eine lange Tradition aufweisen, hat deren Beitrag zu den operativen Budgets gerade in den letzten Jahren signifikant zugenommen. Von akademischer Seite besteht starkes Interesse am Verhalten und der Performance von Endowments, die eine wichtige Klasse institutioneller Investoren darstellen. Der vorliegende Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die akademische Literatur im aufstrebenden Forschungsgebiet der Universitätsendowments. Dabei klassifizieren wir die Arbeiten in vier Teilbereiche: (1) Governance befasst sich mit der Organisationsstruktur und dem Investment Policy Statement; (2) Asset Allocation behandelt den theoretischen Rahmen und empirische Analysen sowohl über die Zeit als auch für verschiedene Typen von Endowments; (3) Performance diskutiert die (risiko-adjustierte) Performance und unterscheidet nach Typen und Größe; (4) Ausschüttungen stellt den Zusammenhang zur theoretischen Literatur dar und beschreibt die Ausschüttungspraxis von Universitäten. Wir kommen zu dem Schluss, dass die fortgeschrittenen Methoden moderner finanzwirtschaftlicher Theorie und empirischer Analyse eine wertvolle Perspektive für das Verständnis von Universitätsendowments bieten. Dennoch heben wir mehrere Herausforderungen für zukünftige Forschung hervor.
