I'd make the argument that something like Calpers is quite different to a college or hospital endowment.

Calpers has a huge deficit, whereas Harvard has far more than they're likely to ever spend (especially considering the fact that colleges with the largest endowments also attract enormous donations from wealth individuals).

You're basically making a point about the Harvard endowment and like maybe....5 other college endowments? This is a small percentage of the LP pool, so....not all that important to the discussion.

Isn't a large part of CalPERS problems related to the fact that they ended up being the one holding the potato when the housing crisis started? I thought before that they were very solvent.
