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 1, 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.
