Private Raises (Form D) / New private funds

Updated dailyForm D filings loaded through November 5, 2026

Who's raising: new private funds this week

A new private fund files a Form D with the SEC within 15 days of its first sale, often months before its adviser lists it anywhere else. That filing is the first public sign that a fund needs an administrator, an auditor, counsel and a placement agent.

For fund administrators, auditors, fund lawyers, placement agents and fund-services sales teams.

How we count

  • A new fund offering is the first Form D filed for a raise (its SEC file number) by an issuer that describes itself as a pooled investment fund. Later amendments aren't counted again. Fund types are as the issuer reports them; "other" covers real estate, credit, fund-of-funds and co-investment vehicles.
  • Counts are filings. One fund often files several Form Ds for its parallel, feeder or offshore vehicles, each reporting the fund's combined amounts, so don't add the amounts up. In the table above we fold vehicles with the same sponsor name and the same amounts into one row.
  • Funds link to their adviser through the Form D file number the adviser reports in Form ADV (Schedule D 7.B.(1)). A new fund usually appears there only at the adviser's next annual update, so most new funds aren't linked yet.
  • History goes back to 2008, when Form D moved to EDGAR: every SEC quarterly Form D data set, plus each day's new EDGAR filings. The chart shows the last 36 months; the full monthly series back to 2009 is available through the private_raise_trends tool. Filings are self-reported; amounts are as filed.
