Columbia University’s endowment posted a 13.7 percent investment return in the year through June, the first one with Chief Executive Officer Peter Holland leading the Ivy League fund.

The fund’s value was about $10 billion as of June 30, Columbia said Tuesday. The endowment didn’t disclose investment strategies used or performance by asset class. Columbia in a statement said the performance reflects a one-quarter lag in private equity and real asset valuations.
