But we do also, it's important, it's part of the benchmark process as well.
And so we do equate that drawdown threshold to a mix of just sort of stocks and bonds, like kind of like a 70-30, because I do think that's a good, fair representation of the family's cost of capital.
I do think that we owe them like something better than they could go out and just do on their own or through a passive, easy way.
So
We do translate this into a benchmark.
Well, so I went back, I think earlier I alluded to the fact we have two
basically constraints that we manage our portfolio with.
And they're not at all like endowment model type things.
The first one, I mentioned the drawdown threshold.
The second one is just our version of our answer to this problem that I've thought about for a long period of time and finally kind of got to where I want to be, is we always make sure that we have
So going back to heuristics, we apply that same kind of mental model I described.
The ACWI has been, in prior years, it was once down 55% or so.
We do kind of the same exercise for every asset in our portfolio has a benchmark, like a more, I'd say, better proxy for that investor, that investment.
We basically just come up with like the public equivalent-ish of, in some cases, this is hard, but like if we have a biotech fund, we use the biotech index or... Venture capital is 3x library DTS.
That's a good one, actually.
We use the telecom index because it had such a horrible return during the dot-com.
But so, yeah, I mean, venture, I think we ascribe like a negative...
85 in that case.
So we always, that's how we kind of always look at our, the drawdown potential of our portfolio is these proxies.
So again, the math is super simple, very easy to understand.
