Emory University’s $6.5 billion endowment returned a net 1.9% in the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, said Elaine Justice, a spokeswoman for the Atlanta-based university, in an e-mail.
The endowment’s annualized net returns in the three and five years ended Aug. 31 were 6.2% and 6.9%, respectively.
Ms. Justice said there was no further information on returns by asset class or asset allocation.
Mary Cahill, the university’s vice president of investments and chief investment officer, said in a news release that real estate and certain fixed-income assets were “bright spots” for the year.
Ms. Cahill was not available to provide further information.
