Yale University's endowment had a 5.7% investment return for the fiscal year ending in June, which was the second-lowest return among Ivy League institutions.
The endowment's total value has increased to $41.4 billion. Additionally, the Yale fund contributed $2 billion to the university's operations over the past year, demonstrating its significant role in supporting the institution's financial needs.
The results reflect the challenges faced by many educational endowments in the investment landscape.
