If there was anything to DCVAX why wouldn't UCLA buy it up?

Endowment Investments

The purpose of The Foundation's endowment is to support the educational mission of UCLA by providing a reliable source of funds for current and future use. The income/payout from each individual endowment fund is used to support the purpose established by the donor in the gift instrument. However, endowment funds are commingled for investment purposes in The Foundation Endowment Pool to maximize returns and minimize investment and administrative costs. 

The endowment seeks to maximize long-term total returns consistent with prudent levels of risk. Investment returns are expected to preserve or enhance the real value of the endowment to provide adequate funds to sufficiently support designated university activities. The Endowment assets have an indefinite time horizon that runs concurrent with the endurance of the university in perpetuity. As such, the investment portfolio assumes a time horizon that may extend beyond a normal market cycle and therefore may assume an appropriate level of risk as measured by the standard deviation of annual returns. It is expected that professional management and portfolio diversification will smooth volatility and assure a reasonable consistency of return. The endowment's portfolio is expected to generate a total annualized rate of return, net of fees and spending, that is greater than the rate of inflation as measured by the National Consumer Price Index over a rolling 5-year period. The Foundation accomplishes these objectives by engaging a number of professional managers who are assigned specific investment mandates for equities, fixed income and alternative investments.
