More than 100 people move to the city a day, according to the city's demographer. Photographer: Matthew Busch/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesPhotograph by Matthew Busch — Bloomberg via Getty Images

Lindel Eakman is stepping down as head of private market investments at the University of Texas Investment Management Co., after nearly 13 years with the $35 billion endowment management group, Fortune has learned.

UTIMCO has not yet announced a formal succession plan.

Below is a report on UTIMCO’s private market portfolio, including performance, through the end of this last February:
