Dartmouth College’s endowment reported a 14.6 percent gain, making it the first Ivy League school to release investment results for fiscal 2017.

The fund’s value rose 10.2 percent to a record $4.96 billion in the 12 months through June, the New Hampshire-based school said Wednesday in a statement on its website. Dartmouth’s performance was boosted by strong equity markets in the U.S. and abroad, according to the statement.
