The University’s endowment is doing well, with exceptional investment returns over the past few years, according to James Walsh, Cornell’s chief investment officer. Walsh, who is responsible for managing the University’s endowment, discussed investment strategy, the investment process and his own background but did not address recent student pressure for socially responsible investment last night in a presentation in Sage Hall.
Walsh told an attentive and intimate audience of nearly 25 undergrads that over the past few years, “[Cornell’s] investment returns have been fantastic.”
