Strength is read from the deals: three or more is a strong observed relationship, two a repeat counterparty, one a single interaction. People and vehicles are structural. Nothing is scored that a reader cannot check.
Darker lines were active in the last 24 months or are current; lighter lines are older or undated.

Funds
How vehicles are groupedFeeders, parallels, executive funds, alternative investment vehicles and lettered sleeves are folded under the fund they belong to, read from the vehicle names. Deal-by-deal co-investment vehicles are pooled. Current funds come first: families are ordered by vintage, newest first, among those holding at least a twentieth of the largest family’s assets, then by size. The figure is the sum of each vehicle’s latest reported gross assets on Form ADV, not a fund size.Tempocap 9 · 1 vehicle · vintage 2023$21.4M

Where these figures come fromPortfolio companies matched to a BDC borrower by an identity-graded bridge, read from each BDC’s own schedule of investments: the lenders’ marks, their accrual footnotes, PIK and maturities.

Show the credit outlook: 0 borrowers, 0 lenders, 0 quartersas of Jun 30, 2026
- A mark is the lender's own fair value over cost for the quarter. Below 90 means the lender carries the loan at a discount of 10 or more on the dollar; it is that lender's valuation, not DFX's.
- Two lenders on the same facility 10 points apart are valuing the same loan differently; which one is right is not something a schedule of investments says.
- Non-accrual is read from the BDC's own footnote, never inferred from a mark. PIK is interest the borrower pays in more debt rather than cash.
- No forecast is made here. DFX does not publish a default or distress prediction for a sponsor.
Population: portfolio companies matched to a BDC borrower by an identity-graded bridge, on a BDC schedule of investments at Jun 30, 2026, ownership not recorded as exited. Firms whose own BDC lends to the company, and private credit managers, are left out: that is lending, not ownership. Marks, principal and accrual status are the BDCs' own filed figures; the quarter before is Mar 31, 2026.
