Our Q4 2025 data for endowments and foundations shows something important: strong markets can hide structural gaps. Dispersion exposes them.

For YTD:
- Top 5%: 19.68%
- Median: 15.07%
- Bottom 5%: 9.10%

- Are we benchmarking to markets or to our peers?
That’s where independent peer analytics can help uncover these insights to drive better long-term decisions.
