Private Fund Adviser Map: free sample (Tensorust LLC)
Every private fund on Form ADV with its gross assets and the auditor, prime broker, custodian and administrator it names.
Headline: Every private fund adviser lists each fund's gross assets and its auditor, prime broker, custodian and administrator on Form ADV, but the filings are never added up into who services whom.
This repository is a free teaser, not the dataset. It holds 25 example rows and a summary table with no names in it. The full file has 124,977 rows and is sold by Tensorust LLC: https://tensorust.com/datasets/sec-adv-private-funds/.

Method and limits
Read only the Schedule D 7.B.(1) private fund tables, the service-provider tables, the filing base tables and the filing-type table out of the SEC bulk zips (HTTP range requests). Keep each adviser CRD's latest filing and join every fund on it to its service providers by filing and reference id. Join adviser totals from the current SEC roster by CRD. Flag gross asset values of $100B or more with no named auditor or an adviser no longer on the roster as gav_suspect and leave them out of totals.
Not FINRA BrokerCheck data and not individual-level data: no owners, signatories, phone numbers or street addresses. Fund detail is as of each adviser's latest filing in the bulk data (through Dec 2024), so funds launched in 2025 and 2026 appear only in the adviser totals.
