Legal Entities (GLEIF Level 1)
InfoTrie's legal entity dataset describes each legal entity of its entity graph from GLEIF's Level 1 LEI records: legal name and other names, legal form, category (fund, general, branch…), legal and headquarters countries, jurisdiction and registration status. Each entity's roles — fund, umbrella, management company, part of a group — are read from its relations, and an entity InfoTrie analyses as a company carries its InfoTrie id. The records are refreshed from GLEIF every day and kept with their history.

Frequently asked questions
Does it cover every LEI in the world?
No. It covers the LEIs InfoTrie's entity graph uses: the parties to its relations, the issuers of the companies it covers, 13F holders and the funds behind share classes. An LEI met for the first time in a relation gets its record the next day.
How do I credit the source?
Name GLEIF (the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation) as the source of the LEI records; each record carries its source's label.
