About these rows
- Fund closes and launches reported in the news since March 2026, one row per fund event, dated by its first report (New York time). Not a census of every fund.
- Every fund close we have covered since March 2026, with firm, fund, size, asset class, region, date and source. Our last source check found a field wrong in about a third of sampled rows, mostly fund names, and we fix them as they are found.
- Launches: A strict subset: only reports that state a target. More as our checks allow.
- Sizes in US dollars; ≈ converted from another currency at the time of the report; † the reports also give a higher figure, and the lower one is shown. A launch’s figure is its stated target. Final closes are added up on their own: a first or interim close is often the same money again.
- Newest row: September 30, 2026.
Every close, every morning.
