    Inside WashU's Endowment Fund | SpaceX Made Up 20% of Out AUM | Scott Wilson

    Under Scott Wilson's leadership, the fund's portfolio grew from $8 billion to nearly $20 billion by divesting 37 hedge funds and pivoting to a concentrated strategy where direct and co-investments comprise over half of private assets. The team prioritizes smaller funds and high-conviction individual companies like SpaceX and Cerebras while rigorously avoiding valuation froth in the private market to maintain top-tier peer performance. This structural transformation emphasizes board-level governance for large positions and relies on deep industry partnerships rather than traditional manager introductions to drive returns.
