These will be big shoes to fill:

"The Yale endowment’s returns have faded a little in recent years, but an average annual return of 12.4 percent over the past three decades remains one of the best in the global investment industry, both in scale and length.

It estimates it has made $9.5bn more than average US university endowment over the past decade, and so-called “private capital” investments in unlisted asset classes such as private equity and venture capital are a major reason for its strong performance. The venture capital investments that Mendelsohn oversees have returned 21.6 percent a year over the past decade, the endowment estimates."

"Mendelsohn, a Yale College graduate and CFA charterholder, joined the Investments Office in 2007. Over the last 14 years, he has contributed to the management of most of the asset classes in which Yale invests. In the past 10 years, the venture capital portfolio has returned 21.6% per annum, well in excess of the S&P 500 and relevant private equity benchmarks. He also has extensive experience with asset allocation, risk and liquidity management, and sourcing and developing relationships with Yale’s investment partners."
