CPCM PEF LP SEC Review: $164.2M Raised Inside CornerStone Partners' Institutional OCIO Platform

CPCM PEF LP is not a newly formed 2026 vehicle. Its SEC record shows a Delaware limited partnership with a first sale on September 1, 2021 and a continuing Regulation D offering that has been amended repeatedly through September 2026. The latest filing identifies CornerStone Partners Capital Management, LLC as investment manager and CPCM PEF GP LLC as general partner, with both tied to the same Charlottesville address as the fund. The September 15, 2026 amendment reports $164,203,351 of cumulative securities sold to 11 investors, an indefinite total offering amount, an indefinite remaining amount and no stated outside-investor minimum. The issuer checks both Pooled Investment Fund and Hedge Fund, offers equity and pooled investment fund interests, relies on Rule 506(b), and claims the Section 3(c)(7) exclusion. This combination creates a clear institutional private-fund structure, but the filing itself does not disclose the underlying manager roster, investment positions, current NAV or performance.

WL Growth Partners SEC Review: $5.6M Fund, Lake State Partners and Fencecrete Acquisition

WL Growth Partners SEC Review: $5.6M Fund, Lake State Partners and Fencecrete Acquisition

WL Growth Partners, LLC is a small but unusually easy-to-penetrate lower-middle-market investment vehicle because its SEC filing, sponsor address, management team and first visible operating-company acquisition all line up. The Delaware LLC was formed in 2025, reported its first sale on September 8, 2025 and filed an amendment on September 16, 2026 showing $5.6 million sold to 24 investors, up from $5.55 million in the original filing. It relies on Rule 506(b) and Section 3(c)(1), is classified as an Other Investment Fund within the Pooled Investment Fund category, and identifies Michael Kell and Sijun "Chester" Wang as managing members. The filing also names G.R. Sam Seraphim as co-trustee of a managing member. The most distinctive point is that WL Growth Partners appears to be the fund vehicle associated with Lake State Partners, a Birmingham, Michigan private-equity sponsor whose website explicitly focuses on founder- and management-led lower-middle-market businesses with roughly $2–10 million of EBITDA. That makes this case much more about a targeted acquisition strategy than about passive pooled investing. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Attractive Opportunity Fund SEC Review 2026: $2.26M Fully Sold, Leslie Maazel and a 138-Day Form D Filing Gap

Attractive Opportunity Fund SEC Review 2026: $2.26M Fully Sold, Leslie Maazel and a 138-Day Form D Filing Gap

Attractive Opportunity Fund LLC - Series 1 is a fully subscribed 2026 Delaware venture vehicle whose SEC record is unusually complete on fundraising but unusually sparse on investment identity. The September 14, 2026 Form D reports a $2,260,775 offering, the entire amount already sold to nine investors, zero remaining securities and no non-accredited investors. The fund selected both equity and pooled investment fund interests and classified itself specifically as a Venture Capital Fund. Leslie Maazel is the only related person disclosed and is identified as a director, while Jared Snow signed the notice as Chief of Staff. The strongest fact in the public record is therefore not a marketing claim but the completed capital raise. The weakest area is equally clear: the filing does not reveal the portfolio company, investment thesis, share class, valuation, transaction price, sponsor economics or even an issuer-specific public website.

Groundfloor SEC Review 2026: $45.6M Revenue, $392M Assets, Regulation A Platform & Real Estate Credit Risks

Groundfloor is not a lightly documented private-investment website whose regulatory footprint depends on a single Form D. Groundfloor Finance Inc., SEC CIK 0001588504, has filed with the SEC since 2013 and operates a multi-entity real-estate credit platform built largely around securities offered under Regulation A. Its 2026 SEC record includes a March 25 qualification for its continuing Limited Recourse Obligation program and an April 1 Form 1-K covering the year ended December 31, 2025. Groundfloor's website separately says that since 2013 the platform has facilitated more than $2.2 billion of investments for more than 300,000 investors. Those company-reported platform figures are useful evidence of operating scale, but they should not be confused with Groundfloor Finance Inc.'s balance-sheet assets or with the amount invested in any individual loan. The strongest regulatory evidence is the depth of the EDGAR history: Groundfloor Finance Inc. alone has hundreds of SEC filings, while related issuers including Groundfloor Real Estate 1, Groundfloor Yield and Groundfloor Loans entities maintain their own filings and offering structures.

Hurricane Hunter Global Strategies Fund Offshore 1 SEC Review: From Ibis Rebrand to $13.7M Raised

Hurricane Hunter Global Strategies Fund Offshore 1 Ltd has a more complicated regulatory history than its current name suggests. The Cayman Islands hedge fund first appeared in SEC records in 2023 under the name Ibis Multistrategy Offshore Fund 1, LTD, with Ibis Global AM LLC identified in the earlier structure. By September 2025, the issuer had adopted the Hurricane Hunter Global Strategies name and reported its first sale on September 1, 2025; the September 15, 2026 Form D/A preserves the old Ibis name in the issuer-history field while identifying Hurricane Hunter Management Company, LLC as the current investment manager. That succession is the key research story. This is not simply a new 2026 hedge fund appearing without history: the SEC trail shows an older Cayman vehicle moving from the Ibis branding and management framework into a Hurricane Hunter-branded architecture while retaining the same CIK, which provides unusually strong evidence of legal continuity across the name change.

Shorecliff Pacific SEC Review: $53M Institutional Fund and $1.41B Credit Manager

Shorecliff Pacific SEC Review: $53M Institutional Fund and $1.41B Credit Manager

Shorecliff Pacific Institutional Partners (Cayman) Fund LP is best understood as a new institutional-access vehicle inside an already scaled credit platform, not as the beginning of Shorecliff Asset Management itself. The Cayman Islands partnership filed its first Form D on September 15, 2026, reporting a June 1 first sale, $53 million sold to only two investors, Rule 506(b) reliance and the Section 3(c)(7) private-fund exclusion. The issuer uses the same Newport Beach headquarters as Shorecliff Asset Management Company LLC and names Grant Norden Nachman, Mark Andrew Bellias and the investment manager directly in the filing. The central research story is therefore one of platform segmentation: Shorecliff now has a legacy Shorecliff Pacific LP, a Founder Fund, and a separate Institutional Partners structure, while the adviser itself reported approximately $1.41 billion of regulatory AUM in its March 2026 Form ADV. Those figures belong to different legal and regulatory layers and should not be collapsed into one fund-size claim. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

MDS 2026-Shale Development SEC Review 2026: $119.6M Raised, 890 Investors and a $200M Direct Drilling Partnership

MDS 2026-Shale Development, LP is materially different from the private equity, venture and real estate vehicles commonly found in Form D. The partnership gives accredited investors direct economic exposure to the development and operation of oil and natural gas wells rather than merely investing in securities issued by an energy company. Its latest September 14, 2026 Form D/A reports $119,617,035 sold to 890 investors against a $200 million base offering, equivalent to roughly 59.8% of the stated target. The filing also contains a greenshoe provision allowing the Dealer Manager to increase total offering capacity to $300 million. MDS Energy Development, LLC serves as managing general partner, with Michael D. Snyder as CEO and a long-standing management team spanning operations, geology, engineering, capital markets and distribution. Most unusually, the filing estimates that $180 million of a fully subscribed $200 million base offering will flow to the Managing General Partner specifically for drilling, completion and operation of the partnership's wells, while approximately $20 million is reserved as estimated sales commissions. That makes this a highly operating-intensive direct drilling structure rather than a conventional blind-pool investment fund.

Burnt Island Ventures SEC Review: Water-Tech VC, $26.8M Opportunity Fund and $50M Fund II

Burnt Island Ventures Opportunity Fund I, LP is not the same thing as Burnt Island Ventures Fund II, and that distinction is the most important starting point for this review. The Opportunity Fund is a Delaware venture-capital vehicle formed in 2024, began selling interests on October 2, 2024 and reported $26,836,519 sold to 54 investors in its September 16, 2026 Form D amendment. The filing relies on Rule 506(c) and Section 3(c)(1), names Burnt Island Ventures Opportunity Fund GP I LLC as general partner, identifies Burnt Island Ventures Management LLC as management company and names Thomas Ferguson as managing member of the GP. By contrast, Burnt Island Ventures separately announced the closing of a $50 million Fund II in October 2025. These are related vehicles within the same water-focused venture platform, but they should not be collapsed into one fund size, one investor count or one performance record. The Opportunity Fund's $26.8 million Form D sales figure is a vehicle-specific regulatory number; the $50 million Fund II close belongs to a different legal issuer. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

IFM Global Value Add Infrastructure Fund SEC Review 2026: $1.877B Reported Across a Global Value-Add Infrastructure Structure

IFM Global Value Add Infrastructure Fund SCSp is a large new Luxembourg infrastructure vehicle sponsored within the IFM Investors platform, and its September 2026 Form D contains one of the most important accounting distinctions FilingDossier has encountered in this batch. The filing reports an indefinite Rule 506(b) offering, Section 3(c)(7), six investors and $1.877 billion sold, yet simultaneously marks the U.S. Form D field "First Sale Yet to Occur." The filing itself explains why those figures should not be treated as contradictory: the $1.877 billion amount includes sales under Regulation S, the General Partner's commitment and sales in feeder funds under Regulation D and/or Regulation S. In other words, $1.877 billion is evidence of substantial capital formation across the broader global fund structure, but it should not be described as $1.877 billion raised directly from U.S. investors under this single Form D. That distinction is central to understanding the fund correctly.

CABO Auto Loans Opportunity Fund SEC Review 2026: Cerberus Launches a New Auto-Credit Vehicle Before Its First Sale

CABO Auto Loans Opportunity Fund, L.P. is a newly formed Delaware private fund directly tied to Cerberus Capital Management, but the most important fact in its September 2026 SEC filing is what had not yet happened: the fund filed before its first sale, reported no investors and disclosed no capital sold. The vehicle uses an indefinite Rule 506(b) offering and relies on Investment Company Act Section 3(c)(7). Its general partner is CABO Auto Loans Opportunity GP, L.L.C., while Cerberus Capital Management II, L.P. is separately identified as a related executive entity. Greg D. Gordon, a long-standing Cerberus senior executive who appears across numerous Cerberus fund filings, signed the notice as Senior Managing Director of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. This is therefore not an anonymous newly formed auto-credit vehicle; its sponsor connection is unusually strong. What remains completely opaque at filing is the actual portfolio: the SEC notice does not identify the auto-loan seller, originator, servicer, borrower mix, collateral characteristics, acquisition price, leverage or expected return.

Magnetar Opportunity 2025-3 LP SEC Review: $125M Venture Fund Inside Magnetar's Expanding AI Opportunity Network

Magnetar Opportunity 2025-3 LP is more interesting than its short Form D initially suggests because several independent regulatory layers connect the issuer to a much larger Magnetar-controlled investment platform. The Delaware limited partnership was formed in 2025, reported its first sale on September 1, and filed Form D on September 15. The filing identifies Magnetar Opportunity 2025-3 GP LLC as general partner and promoter and Magnetar Financial LLC as an executive person associated with the issuer. Ross Laser, David Snyderman and Hayley Stein also appear through the Magnetar structure, with Stein signing the filing as Chief Compliance Officer of the investment manager. The issuer, GP and Magnetar Financial all use 1603 Orrington Avenue, 13th Floor, Evanston, Illinois. This is not merely a naming resemblance: the Form D itself creates a direct issuer-to-GP-to-manager regulatory chain. Magnetar Financial is separately identifiable through SEC Investment Adviser Public Disclosure as CRD 136045 / SEC 801-64602, with SEC registration effective since August 30, 2005, giving the manager a regulatory history extending roughly two decades before the creation of this vehicle.

EU Industrial Club V SEC Review: Hillwood's European Logistics Fund and $48.4M U.S. Raise

EU Industrial Club V SCSp is a newly active U.S. private-placement vehicle within Hillwood's long-established European industrial and logistics real-estate platform. The Luxembourg special limited partnership was formed in 2024, filed its first U.S. Form D in August 2026 and amended that filing on September 16, 2026 after its reported amount sold increased sharply to $48,367,738 across just two investors. The filing identifies EU Industrial Club V GP S.a.r.l. as general partner and TXRE Advisers, LLC as investment adviser, while William Glen Eason, Dewitt T. Hicks III, Tracy Green and Todd L. Platt connect the issuer to Hillwood's wider real-estate organization. This is therefore not a stand-alone Luxembourg vehicle with an unexplained sponsor. The more important research story is that the fund combines a new U.S. fundraising history with a much older sponsor platform that has been investing in European logistics real estate for more than a decade. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
