Dartmouth College’s endowment reported a 12.2 percent gain, making it the first Ivy League school to release investment results for fiscal 2018.

The fund’s value was a record $5.5 billion at the end of June, the New Hampshire-based school said Thursday in a statement. Dartmouth’s performance was boosted by strong returns in U.S. equities, venture capital and private equity, Alice Ruth, the school’s chief investment officer, said in the statement.
