Private funds
Where the money goes
Their trades in each (band midpoints) plus their largest year holding it. Funds that sell to outside investors file a Form D with the SEC, which names who runs them; family LLCs, trusts and private companies file nothing public. A trade made through a family LLC counts for the LLC and for what it bought.
All 9, with what their filings say
Matched to SEC filers by name, so a match means "a filer with this name". Form D facts are from the newest one; manager figures from the SEC's monthly Form ADV file. Money is band midpoints, not dollars invested.

How their trades did
Each of Graves's trades in a company's stock, priced on its trade date and again 30 and 90 days later, less what the S&P 500 did over the same days; a sale counts the other way. 6 of their trades could be priced (ETFs, funds and since-delisted stocks can't). Too few to score against chance (it takes 10). Every member, compared.
