Returns on college and university endowments averaged 19.2 percent in 2011, a rate closer to pre-recession levels than the past few years, Inside Higher Ed reported. Despite positive returns, colleges are still recovering from their losses during the recent recession. Last year's financial survey, conducted by The National Association of College and University Business Officers and Commonfund, found that both small and large endowments had similar rates of return, though the gap between large and small endowments increased from last year, according to Inside Higher Ed. Experts attribute this difference to the fact that large endowments invest heavily in "alternative strategies," such as private equity and hedge funds, and have more opportunity to invest in riskier, higher-return investments, according to Inside Higher Ed. Institutions are also keeping more cash on hand than usual to ensure liquidity in case of another financial crisis, Inside Higher Ed reported.
