The initiative is open to any GP (Private Equity, Infrastructure, and Private Credit), LP and Investment Manager who wishes to join and agrees to support the principles of the work.
What does it mean for GPs to be part of this initiative? To participate, GPs agree to:

-
Abide by the EDCI Metrics Guidance to the extent possible and explain deviations
-
As requested, provide EDCI data to LPs, preferably using the Data Submission Template
