How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

I don't think that's possible in years where Acqui's running at 20%, but that's rare, right?

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

That's happened the last few years.

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

That's not going to continue.

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

The Acqui over time, 70% return.

E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

So if we can get high teens to 20 in our private asset portfolio on the growth side, that's home run.

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

And that's what we're trying to do.

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

couple different things when you think about that, right?

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

I think the first one is governance and turnover.

E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

If from a governance standpoint, the university in this case is not taking care of its team and paying people appropriately, you're going to have massive turnover.

Every time you turn over a private equity guy,

E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

and hire a new one, he has a new strategy that he wants to implement.

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

There's always turmoil and change.

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

If you hire a new CIO, that's gargantuan wholesale change at the portfolio level.

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

Like we run Portable Alpha, we run different strategies.

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

Most of that stuff would probably be wiped out by the next guy.

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

That sustainability partly is driven by governance and how they manage their relationship with the Office of Investments at the university.

E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

The second piece is sticking to your long-term netting, right?

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

Obviously we're not in some ways, right?

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

Like I'm moving away from venture.

How I Invest with David Weisburd
E334: Texas Tech CIO: How We Find Asymmetric Bets

We're making that smaller to go to lower middle market.
