What are the risks and benefits of the Yale Endowment Model?
Is it a suitable portfolio management strategy for all universities? Why or why not?

It's a great model for not just universities, but individuals as well, to follow. It's an approach the creates much truer portfolio diversification than what is conventionally-preached (which is essentially gambling). I can recommend this book by Matthew Tuttle: Amazon.com: How Harvard and Yale Beat the Market: What Individual Investors Can Learn from University Endowments to Help Them Prosper in an Uncertain Market (9780470401767): Matthew Tuttle: Books (http://www.amazon.com/How-Harvard-Yale-Beat-Market/dp/0470401761/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336958486&sr=1-5)
I also discuss true portfolio diversification throughout my book Jackass investing: Don't do it. Profit from it. which you can learn more about at: www.JackassInvesting.com.
