PGIM, UNCF Study Finds Private HBCU Endowments Need Investment Support

Yet, these institutions face systemic challenges in accumulating substantial endowments, a crucial factor for ensuring institutional stability and growth. A new study launched by UNCF (United Negro College Fund) and PGIM, the global asset management business of Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU), explores these challenges and how the asset management industry can work with HBCUs to achieve better outcomes.
