Firms, funds, people, portfolio companies and transactions from sworn filings and cited announcements, kept as a graph with a date and a source on every edge. Reported gross assets are never fund size, regulatory AUM is never dry powder, and a deal value prints only when someone disclosed it.

Coverage

What the graph holds, counted, zeros included

Counts refreshed yesterday. Last completed ingest Sep 16, 2026. A zero means nothing of that kind has been collected, not that none exists. A candidate is not counted as private equity. A ratio whose denominator is zero is not computable and says so.

Every unknown party becomes a candidate.
