DFX Intelligence
Private Equity Intelligence
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.
Placement agents
Who markets private equity funds
An agent appears here when a fund's adviser names it as a marketer on Form ADV (Schedule D, 7.B.(1), question 28) or when the fund's Form D names it as a sales compensation recipient. Fund vehicles are counted as filed, so a main fund, its parallel funds and its feeders count separately. “Latest generation” means the agent is named on a vehicle of the sponsor's most recent vintage or the one before it.
