    Swensen's overall investment philosophy at Yale University's Investments Office has performed well. The office selects, compensates, and controls private equity fund managers differently than those in other asset classes like real estate. It decides when to invest in private equity differently than other assets. It has made international private equity investments, which have performed differently than domestic ones. The private equity industry is changing, and Swensen's strategy could go wrong. His private equity strategy in 2006 may have needed shifting, and recommendations could be made to change it now.
