›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.

Who else at this allocator · 1 person, grouped by function
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.

Commitment history
How the history is foldedOne line per vehicle, folded across the board’s own minutes and the plan’s later reports: when the item was proposed or recommended, when the board approved it, when the closing was dated, and when the position first showed up in a report. A line is closed only when a closing date exists; held means the plan reports the position without one on this graph.| Vehicle | Manager | Amount | State | Proposed | Approved | Closed | First reported | Other LPs |
