The short version

Advent is a sponsor group of 2 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 2 Form D filings between Feb 2013 and Jun 2013.

What this means One team, 2 deal companies. We link the companies because the same people or address appear on their forms — tap "Request a correction" if that is wrong.

Combined reported sold: $182.2M to 1 investor (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Pooled Investment Fund (2). Issuers are based in Australia (as filed: C3) (2).

What this means $182.2M raised across the group, about $182.2M per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Robert Radcliffe-Smith (2 issuers, director), Roland Jacob Detlev Stadly (2 issuers, director) and Rupert Anthony Harrington (2 issuers, director).

What this means The person on the most companies is usually the one running the show; their page lists every deal.

Activity: 0 new offerings in the last 12 months; latest filing Jun 18, 2013.

What this means No new raise filed in the past year.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 3 court cases matching the name, 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. No completed search yet: property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) (runs automatically; this line updates when it finishes).

What this means 6 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 2 public filings for Advent and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Fimeris Limited; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

4. Differences between public sources

No comparisons published

What is compared

No public statement by this sponsor group has been collected yet, so there is nothing to compare. Sources compared: the sponsor's own website (known from the issuer's own filings — Form C issuer website, EDGAR company profile — an approved profile claim or Form ADV Item 1.I of its matched adviser) · SEC Form D · SEC Form ADV (IAPD) · Internet Archive · No website is on file for this sponsor group yet.

6 differences found between the filings for Advent — 1 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Feb 22, 2013

Last filing Feb 22, 2013 with 0% of the target sold — Advent 6 C Trust

Advent 6 C Trust (last filing Feb 22, 2013; $0 sold of $343,761,000). There is no filing in more than two years and the last one reported under half the target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Fimeris Limited — Advent 6 A Trust

Fimeris Limited is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Jun 18, 2013) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Sources
Note · Apr 22, 2013 – Jun 18, 2013

Form D filed 57 days after the first sale — Advent 6 A Trust

The filing says the first sale was Apr 22, 2013. The Form D was filed Jun 18, 2013 — 57 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 42 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Form D · Jun 18, 2013 ↗Advent 6 A Trust — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Apr 22, 2013 – Jun 18, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Advent 6 A Trust (latest filing Jun 18, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 18, 2013 (first sale Apr 22, 2013). It reports $182,181,454 sold of $343,761,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

Form D · Jun 18, 2013 ↗Advent 6 A Trust — PartnerFacts page ↗

Address on file is a registered agent / shared office — Advent 6 A Trust

The latest filing lists Level 17, Hwt Tower, 40 City Road, Southbank, Victoria, Australia (as filed: C3). That address is used by 10 issuers in our index (10 issuers in 7 unrelated clusters).

What this means Many small companies use a registered agent's address — it is legal and common. It means the Form D address is not where the team works. Ask where the business operates and who runs it day to day.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across all 2 issuers in this group — every filing in our index, latest filing per offering (SEC file number).
