DFX Intelligence

Allocator Intelligence

The capital-owner graph behind private markets. Who owns the capital, who decides, how much, under what policy, on whose advice, to which managers, and what changed, with a source and a date behind every row. A target is never an actual, a disclosed holding is never an approval, and an estimate says so.

Commitment history
3 decisions the board record started

One 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.
