The short version

Union is a sponsor group of 4 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 7 Form D filings between Sep 2013 and Nov 2016.

What this means One team, 4 deal companies, about 3 years of track record in SEC filings. 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: $402.4M to 17 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Pooled Investment Fund (3), "Other" (1). Issuers are based in Jersey (as filed: Y9) (3), CT (1).

What this means $402.4M raised across the group, about $23.7M per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Anthony J. Marraccino (2 issuers, executive officer and promoter), Craig Stewart (2 issuers, director), Franklin J. Rudd (2 issuers, executive officer and promoter), John-Paul Meagher (2 issuers, executive officer and director), Stephen M. Waters (2 issuers, executive officer and promoter) and 13 more.

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 Nov 10, 2016.

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, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 26 court cases matching the name, 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 31 records came back, including 2 court cases 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 7 public filings for Union and found 10 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 127 days after the first sale; RICHARD N. FOSTER is no longer listed on the Sep 3, 2015 amendment; 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.

10 differences found between the filings for Union — 2 worth asking about (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Sep 2, 2011 – Mar 1, 2012

Bankruptcy case: Gasparini v. Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC — filed Sep 2, 2011

United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. New York docket "Gasparini v. Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC" filed Sep 2, 2011, closed Mar 1, 2012. ROBERTO LINCOLN GASPARINI (listed on the same filings) is listed as Plaintiff ("Gasparini"). Our match estimate: 70%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Union includes 2 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target

UNION Real Estate II LP (last filing Nov 10, 2016; $0 sold of $292,000,000); UNION Real Estate B LP (last filing Jun 27, 2014; $0 sold of $300,000,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its 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.

Worth asking · Nov 12, 2015 – Mar 18, 2016

Form D filed 127 days after the first sale — COMPASS PARTNERS INVESTMENTS MASTER FUND LP

The filing says the first sale was Nov 12, 2015. The Form D was filed Mar 18, 2016 — 127 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 112 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 · Mar 18, 2016 ↗COMPASS PARTNERS INVESTMENTS MASTER FUND LP — PartnerFacts page ↗

Note · Aug 30, 2013 – Aug 29, 2016

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — COMPASS PARTNERS INVESTMENTS LLP (latest filing Aug 29, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 29, 2016 (first sale Aug 30, 2013). It reports $875,811 sold of an indefinite amount 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.

RICHARD N. FOSTER is no longer listed on the Sep 3, 2015 amendment — COMPASS PARTNERS INVESTMENTS LLP

RICHARD N. FOSTER appears on the Sep 3, 2014 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Sep 3, 2015 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Address moved from Boston, MA to Stamford, CT — COMPASS PARTNERS INVESTMENTS LLP

The people listed on the Sep 3, 2014 filing give Boston, MA; on the Sep 3, 2015 filing they give Stamford, CT.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Member companies were formed in 3 different states

United Kingdom (2), Delaware (1), Jersey (1) — out of 4 member issuers. The odd ones out: COMPASS PARTNERS INVESTMENTS LLP (Delaware); COMPASS PARTNERS INVESTMENTS MASTER FUND LP (Jersey).

What this means Sponsors often form each deal company in Delaware or Wyoming no matter where the property is. A mix is common; it just tells you which state's rules each company lives under.

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 4 issuers in this group — every filing in our index, latest filing per offering (SEC file number).

Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file). A registry listing is the state's own record of the entity; it says nothing about the offering itself.

Adviser registration (Form ADV)
