What may matter next

A pattern DFX replayed against history, using only what was known on each date, points at this record. The rate belongs to the pattern, not to this entity; what already happened is below.

This allocator

Emerging

Watch for: commits to the successor fund by Oct 2027.

What DFX sees in the record
  • DerivedThis allocator holds a fund and the manager's next fund in that series, a fund, is open (fundraising).
  • DerivedNo commitment to the new fund appears on the plan's filings yet.
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.

Can you reach them

Read with care: the rate belongs to the pattern, not to this one; it is not a forecast.

How the pattern measured, and every other entity on it: re-up prospects.

What matters now

    re-up prospects

    1 re-up prospect was flagged in the last twelve months: a manager it backed raising a successor fund.

    Managers it already backs are raising again; a re-up decision is coming.

From board minutes, annual reports, Form 5500 filings and public records of commitments, consultants and staff in the allocator graph. Commitment amounts are those the allocator disclosed; many are not printed, and none is estimated.

Some relationships on this record are counted rather than named here. They open with the full profile.

Click any name or line for the commitments and sources behind it. Line weight is commitments together; dashed lines are inferred.

›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.

Ranked by the role the firm or its filing states, a route on file and deals led. Every reason is read from the record, never inferred. Routes are published by the person or the firm (their bio, the team page or a filing) and are revealed on a plan; data bought from a provider is never shown, and a route printed at a firm the person has since left is held back.

First observed Sep 15, 2026, last observed Sep 25, 2026. Classification confirmed. Every row above carries its source; a reported figure is the subject’s own, a derived one is arithmetic on reported figures, an estimated one is a model or a survey imputation and is never summed into a headline.

Not yet on record: funded ratio.
