# CDW
## No parent of record among the documented ownership edges; 24 supply-chain edges, 2 sovereign LP commitments and no export-control designation reaching it on the record

Everything below is drawn from what the record carries for this organisation: its documented parents, the constraints that reach it, and the relationships and sites recorded against it. Each claim carries its source on the same line, and a blank means the record holds nothing.

### Chain of title

Each hop carries its data source, source URL (where one exists), as-of date, and confidence label on the same line as the parent name. When two sources name different parents for the same hop, both render as alternates; the walker picks no winner.

Chain terminus

[Chain-of-title](/methodology#chain-of-title-walk) terminates at **CDW** (CIK 1402057 · LEI 9845001B052ABF0B6755). No further parent is documented. For a public filer that means ultimate beneficial ownership is the dispersed float; for a state-linked entity, that the chain has reached the sovereign apex.

Ownership-change events

Documented M&A-shaped events touching this entity (Buyout, Corporate Divestiture, Asset Sale, Joint Venture, Spin-off). Capital raises without an ownership transfer are excluded, because they do not move the chain.

### Sovereign LP commitments to funds with documented exposure

LP-to-fund commitments from sovereign or state-linked vehicles into funds whose portfolios include this entity. The per-fund commitment amounts and fund identities are drawn from a licensed fund/LP database held under subscription and not redistributed. The sovereign LP attribution and disclosure status are shown; the dollar figures and fund names are withheld. Even where disclosed, a fund commitment is spread across that fund’s whole portfolio, of which this entity is one position among many; presence here is not a claim of control. The [methodology](/methodology#sovereign-lp-attributions) note explains why entity-attributable share is not imputed. Commitments dated 12+ years ago are framed in the past tense: closed-end private-market funds are typically structured on a ~10-year term plus extensions, and the source records the commitment event, not whether a position remains today.

Every commitment is _via a private-market fund_; the fund identities and dollar amounts are held under license and never published, so “disclosed” reports that the source records an amount, while the amount itself stays withheld. A commitment past the typical closed-end fund term records the commitment event; it does not establish a current position. Source: Documented ownership record · vintage 2026-04-24 · tier 2

### Suppliers and customers

Dollar flows are annual figures from the fiscal year labelled on the row, drawn from SEC segment and >10%-customer disclosures, re-derived company disclosures, or a licensed supply-chain database; per-row source and authority tier on hover. A row without a year means the source does not state the period. Disclosures older than 5 years are tagged _historical_ and ordered below current rows: they record what was disclosed then, and the counterparty may since have been acquired or dissolved. The 3-month Pearson r comes from a licensed supply-chain database; correlation is a coupling proxy for shared market sensitivity, and it is not a causal channel. Sole-source edges are flagged inline.

Source coverage

Licensed sources do reach CDW: the supply relationships above are drawn from a licensed supply-chain database, and the sovereign-LP commitments from a licensed fund/LP database. What is missing is one specific feed: the corporate-financials extract behind this profile (geographic revenue, segment mix, capital allocation), which covers a loaded set of listed companies that CDW is not among; the gap is in coverage, not in the record. The public industry classification (SIC, NAICS) is absent as well. Coverage rules in the [methodology](/methodology#licensed-substrate).
