# Legal Entities (GLEIF Level 1)

> Each legal entity of InfoTrie's entity graph by LEI: name, legal form, category, countries and status, with its roles as a fund, umbrella or manager.

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.

Status: In rollout — available on request.

## FAQ

### 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.
