Why it matters

This allocator committed to the prior fund of a series that now has a successor fund. Existing LPs are the first calls in any raise, so this is the re-up list for the GP, and for a competing GP it shows whose capital may be in play.

Who this is for

GPs raising a successor fund, placement agents, and competing GPs in the same strategy.

›How strength and recency are read

Managers, funds and consultants are read from the commitments: three or more is a strong observed relationship, two a repeat counterparty. No consultant link is marked current on the source, so none is labelled current or former here. Related plans, people and plan service providers are ordered by what the filing shows.

Darker lines were active in the last 24 months or are current; lighter lines are older or undated.
