Ep. 82: Why Endowment CIOs Should Operate in Real Space

Eleven episodes ago, the Inflation Guy presented five ways that endowment CIOs could improve their inflation allocations. In a way, that put the cart before the horse and so the IG is circling back: what is it about UPMIFA that virtually demands that CIOs address their asset strategies in real space?

The basic problem is that two of the seven factors that endowment investment committees are to consider under UPMIFA are in tension in nominal space. But, by changing the problem to look at it in real space, the "consideration of inflation" requirement and the "real value of the endowment" requirement can operate in harmony.

Well, that's the gist of it. Listen to the podcast to hear why this is true!
