From SEC filings, not verified. Counts are the number of private funds whose adviser names the firm in that role on Form ADV (Schedule D, Section 7.B.(1)), in the SEC's public Form ADV data through filings made by Dec 26, 2024. A fund can name several firms in the same role. Names are grouped automatically (spelling variants and, for the largest firms, their affiliated entities), which can be incomplete. Rankings count funds only; they do not reflect quality, assets served or fees, and are not a recommendation. Corrections: hello@altmountain.com.
