Golden Structures
The fourteen golden structures
The recurring private fund structures as a recognition sheet: each drawn by Structura’s engine and described in six lines, what it is, who it is built for, what it solves, what it costs, what to watch for, and which structure a changed fact points to. Grouped into six families.

Fund market data
How private funds are organized and offered, aggregated and charted: first offering notices by quarter since 2008, private funds by fiscal year, the manager census. Four charts to start, then an explorer by fund type, jurisdiction, exclusion, size and more, with the table behind every chart. Nothing by manager or fund.

Structura in short videos
20 videos, about two minutes each. Each follows one fund from the facts to a ranked set of structures, or walks through one rule the engine applies: blockers, master-feeders, REITs and FIRPTA, credit funds, eligibility, costs, economics, custody, state adviser registration.
