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.
