Insider obtained UC Investments' returns through a Public Records Act request. Unlike many other financial institutions, VC funds are not required to show their return on investment in startups. UC Investments, which has been managed by Jagdeep Singh Bachher since 2014, declined to comment. Though selling early produced an initial windfall, UC Investments could have ultimately missed out on substantial gains from these VC funds. By comparison, UC Investments earned a 8.3% return for its investment in public markets.
☆ Why cutting middle management is a bad idea
  + stars: | 2023-04-11 | by ( Emilia David | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The push to cut middle managers will backfire on tech. Companies like Amazon, Meta, and Salesforce embarked on cost-cutting efforts that "flattened" org charts by removing middle managers, starting a trend across Silicon Valley. Middle managers, or what Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg calls "managers managing managers," saw their roles shrink in the past year as tech companies focus on "individual contributors," increasingly requiring managers to do coding work themselves. But losing middle managers could also impact team morale and how employees look at their futures in the company. It comes despite Musk recently signing an open letter calling for an industry-wide halt to any AI training for several months.
☆ Half of Sequoia Capital's VC funds since 2018 have posted losses for the University of California's endowment

☆ Blackstone's real-estate strategy, laid out in a leaked transcript, sets the stage for tenant battles over evictions and rising rents

The major real-estate investor Blackstone is playing defense as tenants scrutinize its policies. This week, tenants addressed Blackstone and an investor, UC Investments, to raise concerns. A transcript of an executive's remarks, obtained by Insider, sheds light on Blackstone's strategy. It is Blackstone, the New York-based investment giant that has become the world's largest real-estate investor. Vik Sawhney, Blackstone's chief administrative officer and global head of institutional client solutions, introduced Meghji, according to the transcript.
☆ Blackstone’s Hefty Concession Is a Warning to Investors
  + stars: | 2023-01-04 | by ( James Mackintosh | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Blackstone will use up to $1 billion to pay UC Investments if it fails to earn 11.25% a year after fees. If you are trying to get your money out of Blackstone’s giant private property fund, the new year brought some bad news, and some potentially very good news. The bad news was that no, you can’t have all your money back right now. So many other people tried to withdraw in December that the 5% quarterly cap will limit the amount that comes out until March, assuming everyone renews their withdrawal requests.

Wall Street's version of the Hunger Games — nabbing a summer internship at an investment bank — is about to kick off. Thousands of college students are eagerly refreshing investment banks' careers pages awaiting applications to open for internships for the summer of 2024. (Yes, you read that right, this summer's internship spots have already been wrapped up for a while.) It's a process that results in young people making decisions that will set them on a certain path for years to come. Despite a difficult end to the year for the bank thanks to a costly fine, Wells' investment bank was actually among the top 10 advisors in M&A in 2022, Bloomberg reports.
☆ University of California to Invest $4 Billion in Blackstone’s BREIT Real-Estate Vehicle
  + stars: | 2023-01-03 | by ( Miriam Gottfried | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
A Blackstone real-estate vehicle aimed at individual investors will get an investment from the University of California. The University of California is putting $4 billion into a Blackstone Inc. real-estate vehicle aimed at individual investors, providing crucial ballast for a fund that has been beset by a wave of redemptions. The investment will come in the form of common equity in Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust Inc., known as BREIT, and will be subject to the same fees and terms the vehicle’s other shareholders get, Blackstone executives said. The typical BREIT investor has the option to sell shares monthly, but University of California manager UC Investments will effectively be committing to hold its shares for six years.
☆ University of California to invest $4 bln in Blackstone real estate fund

Jan 3 (Reuters) - University of California's fund manager said on Tuesday it will invest $4 billion in Blackstone Inc's (BX.N) real estate fund, barely a month after the asset manager limited withdrawals from the fund due to a surge in redemptions. REITs, one of the core strategies that helped Blackstone become the world's biggest alternative asset manager, suffered a setback in December as investors concerned about China's economic prospects and turmoil in the Asian markets withdrew money at a frenetic pace from the real estate fund. The investment in Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust is through UC Investments, which manages a portfolio of nearly $152 billion, according to its website. UC Investments can redeem its holdings over two years after January 2028 and will get an 11.25% minimum annualized net return on its investment, partially supported by a $1 billion commitment from Blackstone.
