BEHIND The
TICKER

NEW NOkh--The man tn charge
OF one OF the best managed and
most successful college endow-
ment funds in the country tells his
friends in the financial world that
he has picked up quite few first
rate stocks at what he believes TO
be bargain prices during the re-
cent market recession. lie adds
that his ultimate aim Is 10 have
Soc OF the colleges money in
vested in stocks and Soc In bonds.
Such an investment program
would have been unthinkable q few
years ago. II used TO be = cardinal
principle that endowment and trust
funds should be placed only In the
highest grade bonds. Stocks were
considered much too speculative.
Chanxe-The above illustrates =
significant trend. Due TO steady
and effective government pressure
for cheap money, the income from
top-rste bonds has steadily de-
clined. The average yield on a Civ
en- amount OF capital invested in
bonds has declined sharply in re-
cent years
On top OF that, the rapid growth
Of the practice OF private financing
sccentuates the problems OF fund
managers. With more and more
leading corporations refunding out
standing issues by selling new
bonds privately to n small group
OF insurance companies. the supply
OF good bonds available for pur-
chase by endowment funds has been
sharply reduced. But the colleges
must get a return on their capital,
so they have To- buy stocks.
The same applies to hospitals,
charities, trust funds and, to
considerable extent, to conserva-
tive private investors. Savings
banks and small insurance COM
psnies, restricted by law to GER
tain types OF investments, have
even greater difficulty finding
adequately profitable employment
for their cash. This fundamental
change in investment habits forced
by current circumstances, may
have far.reaehing effects on Ameri-
can industry and finance.
