MIT, Brown Endowments Gain More Than 50% to Record Levels

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s endowment returned 56%, while Brown University gained 52%, boosting their fund values to record levels. 

The value of MIT’s fund soared to $27.4 billion for the fiscal year ended June, an increase of $9 billion. Brown’s value rose to $6.9 billion, the schools said in emailed statements Thursday.
