Does the university manage the entire LTIP the same way?

Yes. The entire LTIP is managed under a common strategy. The portfolio is diversified across various types of investments, and all endowments share proportionately in the overall rate of return.

Each individual endowment fund is assigned a number of shares in the LTIP depending on the size of the gift. This process is similar to the way a mutual fund works. Earnings are distributed proportionately based on the number of shares owned by each fund.
