Reading this profile

Reported gross assets are what an adviser told the SEC a fund held on a date. They are not the fund’s size and not dry powder. RAUM is a regulatory measure of the adviser, not capital available to invest.

A section that says nothing has been collected means exactly that: the graph has not read that kind of record for this firm yet.
