Michigan State Through the Roof – MPI Stylus Pro Was Instrumental in Solving the Biggest Puzzle of the 2024 Endowment Season
In October of 2024, Michigan State University’s (MSU) $4.4 billion endowment stunned the investment world by announcing a 15.1% return for the fiscal year ending June 2024, outperforming every Ivy League and other elite endowments tracked by the MPI Transparency Lab. By comparison, the top-performing Ivies, Columbia and Brown, reported returns of 11.5% and 11.3%, respectively, for the 2024 fiscal year, while the 70/30 Global Benchmark returned 14.2%.
In its published research, MPI research team uses MPI Stylus Pro analytics to uncover major sources of the MSU endowment’s exceptional performance and attributes the success of the top-performing team to its higher-than-average exposure to technology stocks and risk.
