The Yale Endowment is known in the financial industry as a pioneer in using a combination of innovative asset allocation and active management to produce impressive long-term performance. In fact, the Endowment produced a 17.8% average annual return, net of fees, in the ten-year period ending June 30, 2007.1 This performance is particularly impressive given that, in recent years, the Endowment portfolio has carried less than a 40% weighting in equities.

To ensure the long term success of an organisation, strong clinical governance infrastructure needs to be put in place from the service’s inception. Clinical governance refers to the system by which a governing body, as well as the staff of an organisation share responsibility and accountability for patient care, managing risks and instituting a system which monitors and improves standards. Within healthcare organisations clinical governance aim to develop an environment and processes in which the quality of care delivered within a system is continuously improved(1) with a goal to maintaining and improving standards of clinical practice, while dealing with failures in standards of care and poor performance within the system. Many aspects fall under the umbrella of clinical governance, with the WHO defining quality into four aspects; professional performance (technical quality), resource use (efficiency), risk management (the risk of injury or illness associated with the service provided) and patient’s satisfaction with the service provided(2). This framework is appropriate in designing the clinical governance infrastructure required for the success of the new aeromedical retrieval service. This paper will look at the elements of clinical governance infrastructure that need to be developed prior to the new aeromedical service commencing operation, as well as reviewing the literature available for transport ventilators and analyse their suitability for this service.

I had the opportunity of listening to a lecture by one of the hosts of “Freakonomics”, a podcast that analyzes the irregularities present in the economy. In Steven Levitt’s lecture, I was given advice to start pursuing my interests early, which led me to apply for a seminar with Morningstar- a company which specializes in fund investing. Like my microeconomics class, this seminar gave me the opportunity of expanding my knowledge in the basic principles. Furthermore, I was also taught the basics of the stock market. Towards the end of the course, my peers and I took a trip to the Morningstar tower, and I was intrigued by the goals that every worker pursued, which was to provide accurate data of which stocks would prove to be good investments.

For my sales manager interview I was fortunate enough to interview Chad Keaton, a wealth management advisor and a managing director of Northwestern Mutual. Mr. Keaton graduated from East Tennessee State University in 1989 with Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing. Moreover, he joined Northwestern Mutual in 1993 and now it has been almost 20+ years since he has been in sales and sales force management with Northwestern Mutual here in Knoxville, TN. Founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Northwestern Mutual, as a middle west based company, started up with the earliest life insurance services in 1857. Even though, Northwestern Mutual has always been prominent for its life insurance products, the innovation and diversity in various financial services of business are undeniably more attractive. Risk management, wealth accumulation, wealth preservation and distribution are some of the major needs that Northwestern Mutual offers to the public with many specializations.

My experience at Villanova, both as a research fellow and a student was formative of my fascination with investments, hedge funds, and mutual funds. My original interest sparked while working with Dr. Velthuis and performing literature reviews on effects of corporate activism on stock prices, and size effects on hedge fund returns.

The combination of five factors in Yale’s investment philosophy plays an important role to Yale’s successful investment performance. However, among the five factors, the most critical and non-replicable factors are Yale’s ability to identify and invest in inefficient markets and to hire superior managers with aligned incentives; all of which came from expertise and years of experience in the industry. David Swansen’s expertise, in particular, plays a big role.
