Capital Markets

Capital markets are complex by design — and often chaotic in practice. At Dealcharts.org, we help make the structure visible, so participants can see clearly and act with confidence.

Why Structure Matters

Structured finance transforms cashflows into tradable products. But without context, that structure is hidden — buried in PDFs, lost across spreadsheets, or fragmented across systems.

We organize this world with metadata-first principles:

• Every chart is connected to its source
• Every deal has lineage
• Every field has a reason for being there

This approach builds trust, improves usability, and prepares data for human users and AI agents alike.

Who Operates in Capital Markets?

From public funds to private partnerships, capital markets involve a wide range of participants — each producing valuable (and often siloed) metadata:

• BDCs – Business Development Companies investing in private credit
• REITs – Real Estate Investment Trusts generating property-level data
• REIGs – Real estate syndicates producing performance and strategy metadata
• Mutual Funds & ETFs – Offering transparency into portfolio structure and risk
• Hedge Funds & PE Funds – Surfacing signals on private markets and leverage
• Venture Capital – Creating patterns of innovation, valuation, and exit paths

Metadata: The Hidden Foundation

Every participant in these markets leaves behind a trail: documents, ratings, filings, relationships, and derived values. When you treat this as metadata — not just data — new possibilities emerge:

• Discover deal structure, not just terms
• Track quality and feedback over time
• Trace the data behind the chart

At Dealcharts.org, we expose these threads so they can be pulled — by humans or AI.

The Real Challenges in Capital Markets

We don't just organize data for convenience. We do it to address real pain points:

• Volatility → Metadata lets you compare across time and context
• Regulation → Structured metadata enables traceable compliance
• Information asymmetry → Public, navigable metadata levels the playing field
• Structural opacity → Metadata clarifies what a chart alone can't
• Liquidity concerns → Rich deal context helps assess and compare more clearly
• Transparency gaps → Lineage builds trust — even when the data is messy
