The short version

Cross Sound is a sponsor group of 2 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, shared management entity, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 3 Form D filings between Jan 2017 and Jun 2017.

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: $211M to 8 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Pooled Investment Fund (2). Issuers are based in CT (2).

What this means $211M raised across the group, about $26.4M per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Arif Gangat (2 issuers, executive officer and director), David Dunn (2 issuers, executive officer and director), Helen Lovely Francis (2 issuers, executive officer), Lovely Cross Sound Management LLC (2 issuers, executive officer, entity), Lovely Cross Sound Capital Partners LLC (1 issuer, executive officer, entity) and 1 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 Jun 1, 2017.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 10 court cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 10 records came back, including 5 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 3 public filings for Cross Sound and found 5 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Address moved from Westport, CT to Wilton, CT; 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.

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.

5 differences found between the filings for Cross Sound (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 1, 2017 – Jun 1, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Cross Sound Distressed Opportunities Fund, L.P. - Series 3 (latest filing Jun 1, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 1, 2017 (first sale Jan 1, 2017). It reports $150,000,000 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.

Note · Jan 1, 2017 – Jan 13, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Cross Sound Offshore SPC - Segregated Portfolio 3 (latest filing Jan 13, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 13, 2017 (first sale Jan 1, 2017). It reports $61,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Jan 13, 2017 – Jun 1, 2017

Address moved from Westport, CT to Wilton, CT — Cross Sound Distressed Opportunities Fund, L.P. - Series 3

The people listed on the Jan 13, 2017 filing give Westport, CT; on the Jun 1, 2017 filing they give Wilton, 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.

Sources
Note · Jan 13, 2017 – Jun 1, 2017

Member companies were formed in 2 different states

Delaware (1), Cayman Islands (1) — out of 2 member issuers. The odd ones out: Cross Sound Offshore SPC - Segregated Portfolio 3 (Cayman Islands).

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.

Sources
Note · Jan 13, 2017 – Jun 1, 2017

Issuer used a different name before — Cross Sound Distressed Opportunities Fund, L.P. - Series 3

SEC records list prior names for this filer: Cross Sound Energy Opportunity Fund, L.P. - Series 3. The current name on file is "Cross Sound Distressed Opportunities Fund, L.P. - Series 3".

What this means A name change is normal, but your documents may show the old name. Match the CIK, not just the name.

Sources
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.
