Venture debt in Brazilian FIDC bylaws: validated census, coding sheets and scripts

The study reads the full text of 20,376 bylaws filed by 5,057 receivables securitization funds (FIDCs) on the B3 exchange system, measures the precision of a literature-based keyword lexicon against human reading of a stratified sample, builds a validated census of the vehicles dedicated to venture debt, sizes the alternative channels from the regulator's fund registry and from a fund-by-fund query to the CVM fund-management system, and compares the returns of the validated vehicles with those of other FIDCs in a panel of 195,058 fund-month reports (2013 to 2025).

The package contains the validated census of 14 funds with the bylaw evidence supporting each code, the two coding sheets (155 documents of the stratified sample and 32 candidates of the second protocol, both with a column reserved for independent second coding), the classification output for every bylaw version, the private-equity fund registrations and bylaw versions returned by the regulator's system, the plain-text result files from which every number in the article is taken, and the Python scripts in order of execution.
