Investment Returns Compared to NACUBO

To understand the investment returns of an endowment such as Hindu Heritage Endowment, it is helpful to compare it to similar investments. The National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) provides a relevant report once a year, toward the end of January, on the returns of the major university endowments in the United States. The 2012 results are based on 831 U.S. college and university endowments and affiliated foundations, representing over $406 billion in endowment assets. As universities function on a fiscal year of July 1 - June 30, the returns shown are for that period.

For the one year period July 1, 2011 - June 30, 2012:

Hindu Heritage Endowment -4.07%

NACUBO Under $25 Million 0.3%

For the three year period July 1, 2009 - June 30, 2012:

Hindu Heritage Endowment 10.73%

NACUBO Under $25 Million 10.40%
