Sourcing reliable data on evergreen funds is harder than ever. With private market strategies evolving rapidly, and new perpetual structures popping up across private equity, credit, and real assets, research teams are often left chasing fragmented insights across multiple tools.
Accuracy varies. Coverage is inconsistent. And most platforms aren't built specifically for this complex segment.
That's why we've put together this list of the top evergreen fund databases, and why hundreds of firms rely on Dakota Private Markets as their single source of truth for fund and allocator intelligence, now covering 300+ evergreen and interval vehicles.
Evergreen funds continue to grow in popularity for their flexibility, investor alignment, and capital deployment efficiency. But finding reliable intel on these funds remains difficult. Most platforms were built around closed-end vintages, not open-ended vehicles.
To create this list, we looked at:
Dakota Private Markets stands out for combining fund performance data, manager profiles, and allocator intelligence in a single platform to help investment professionals move from research to outreach in one step.

Open-end vehicles never close, so they cannot be benchmarked on IRR at fund close the way the rest of a platform's data is. Dakota Private Markets captures them on their own terms: annualized returns, liquidity terms, and structure details across 300+ evergreen and interval vehicles. Request access.
Bloomberg offers firm-level and product-level insights through its terminal platform. While not evergreen-specific, it allows users to view fund structures, tickers, and financial events relevant to evergreen vehicles.

Dakota Private Markets delivers curated intelligence on asset managers, funds, and institutional investors with deep, structured coverage of perpetual and evergreen fund vehicles.
Unlike traditional databases that treat evergreen funds as an afterthought, Dakota systematically identifies evergreen vehicles through regulatory filings, including Form D disclosures, classifies their structure (interval funds, BDCs, tender offer funds, and other perpetual vehicles), and connects them to their publicly reported performance data.
The result is a centralized, benchmark-ready evergreen dataset that eliminates the need to manually review filings and piece together fragmented disclosures. Coverage runs to 300+ evergreen and interval vehicles and 600+ performance records, with the strategy mix weighted where the launches have actually been: 120+ private credit funds, 40+ hedge fund and liquid alternative vehicles, 40+ private real estate, 40+ private equity, 7 venture capital, and 40+ across other strategies.
The Evergreen and Interval Funds dataset includes:
Every record is reviewed by Dakota's research team before publication rather than auto-populated from filings. Beyond fund-level data, Dakota connects the dots between managers, offerings, and real-time allocator activity, allowing research teams and capital raisers to move from discovery to outreach within a single platform.
Ideal for: Capital raisers, investor relations teams, LP research groups, and due diligence professionals who want centralized, evergreen-specific performance benchmarking and allocator visibility in one place.
Evergreen funds aren't just a trend, they're becoming a core part of the private market toolkit. Institutional demand for liquidity, simplicity, and long-term alignment is pushing managers to offer more flexible structures. But transparency still lags, and traditional data providers haven't fully caught up.
The result: teams need tools that track open-ended strategies with the same rigor as closed-end funds, and do it all in one place.
Every platform on this list will tell you it covers evergreen funds. The question is whether it covers them the way they actually work, with annualized returns rather than a metric borrowed from closed-end vintages, and with the liquidity terms and structure detail that decide whether two vehicles are comparable at all.
Dakota Private Markets holds 300+ evergreen and interval vehicles and 600+ performance records, classified and standardized so the peer set is built before you start. Request access today.
