Eighteen months ago, on February 1, 2025, Dakota Marketplace tracked 5,638 documents, consultant presentations, pension staff reviews, fund overview decks, and other manager materials. Today that number is 17,427, a 209% increase. This is not a story about steady accumulation. It is a story about a growth rate that itself kept accelerating, culminating in a three-month stretch this year that added more documents than the prior two years combined.
The curve tells a story in three acts. From 2022 through 2024, growth was slow and linear, roughly 100 to 200 documents added per month. That pace roughly doubled through 2025. Then, starting in May 2026, it tripled again: May, June, and July 2026 alone added 6,148 documents, more than the entire 2022-to-2023 library combined. The library did not just grow. It changed gears twice.

The spring 2026 acceleration was not a single data dump. It ran across three consecutive months, May through July, each one bigger than the last (1,759, then 2,102, then 2,287 documents). And it was concentrated in one category: Consultant Presentations accounted for 4,104 of the roughly 6,148 documents added in that window, with Pension Staff Reviews contributing another 1,414. Whatever changed, it was a sustained shift in how consultant-related materials specifically were being captured, not a one-time backfill.
Consultant materials drove two-thirds of it

Consultant Presentations went from a mid-size category (944 documents, 17% of the February 2025 library) to by far the largest (7,078 documents, 41% of today's library), growing 650%. Pension Staff Reviews more than tripled. Together these two categories account for 82% of every document added since February 2025 (9,673 of 11,789).
Meanwhile, four categories, Portfolio Review, Consultant Report, Pacing Study, and Asset Liability Study, added exactly zero new documents in eighteen months. These are not growing categories in this dataset; they are static, either because Dakota is not actively expanding them or because the underlying source material itself has not produced new documents in this window.
Growth is not uniform across types
Two categories drove 82% of the growth while four added nothing at all, so the type you need matters more than the headline. Book a demo to filter by document type →
Consultant Presentations and Pension Staff Reviews are now the backbone of the library. Together they make up 69% of all documents today, up from 42% eighteen months ago. If your work depends on either category, the depth available to you has grown dramatically just in the last year.
The acceleration is recent and may still be running. Three consecutive months of record-setting additions through July 2026 suggests this is an active, ongoing expansion rather than a completed project. Expect continued growth in the categories driving it.
Four document types have not grown at all. Portfolio Review, Consultant Report, Pacing Study, and Asset Liability Study each show zero net additions since February 2025. Do not assume uniform growth across every document category; treat these four as a separate, static population.
This dataset excludes Fee Schedules. Fee Schedule documents (13,883 as of the most recent full count) are tracked separately and are not part of the growth figures above.
Dakota Marketplace tracks 17,427 documents across consultant presentations, pension staff reviews, fund overview and update decks, consultant reviews, and specialty studies, with a document library that has more than tripled in the past eighteen months.
