By contrast, she said she thought that John McCain’s attacks on Obama had backfired and had actually cost the Republican candidate support. When McCain attacked Obama’s experience in an effort to sway public opinion in his direction, “Obama didn’t take the bait,” Schwartz...
...largest-ever sales of a private-equity portfolio, The Journal article said. As of June 30, HMC’s planned allocation to private equity for 2009 was up to 13 percent of the University’s endowment, or just under $4.8 billion. University spokesman John D. Longbrake declined to confirm the sale when asked about the Private Equity Week report last week, citing a standing Harvard policy not to “discuss investment strategies or individual investments.” Several Boston-area hedge funds that received substantial initial investments from Harvard—including...
