Wendy Li on How To Invest Like Elite Endowments | #566

Jan 17, 2025 • 55 mins

Today's guest is Wendy Li, founder and CIO of Ivy Invest, which offers an endowment-style fund with traditional and alternative assets. She’s spent her career as an institutional investor managing billions of dollars for some of New York’s largest endowments and foundations. In today's episode, Wendy walks through the strategies and principles behind how major endowments invest, manage risk and navigate the evolving landscape of alternative assets. Then we shift to Ivy Invest and her innovative approach in making endowment-style investing accessible to individual investors. She explains her approach to building a diverse investment portfolio, her framework for liquidity management, and how this fund structure allows individuals to invest with no need to be an accredited investor.

Key Points

  • Institutional investors need to continuously evaluate liquidity to ensure resilience during market stress and capitalize on opportunities.
  • The growing trend of alternative asset managers offering evergreen fund structures provides individual investors with more accessible private market investments.
  • Private markets are expanding significantly, with many companies remaining private longer, which highlights the importance of individual investors gaining access to these opportunities.
