The short version
Ffl is a sponsor group of 8 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, shared management entity, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 14 Form D filings between Dec 2013 and May 2015.
What this means One team, 8 deal companies, about 2 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: $681.8M to 68 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Pooled Investment Fund (8). Issuers are based in CA (8).
What this means $681.8M raised across the group, about $10M per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.
Principal people: Christopher A. Masto (8 issuers, director), FFL GP IV, L.p. (8 issuers, promoter, entity), Spencer C. Fleischer (8 issuers, director) and Tully M. Friedman (8 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 May 18, 2015.
What this means No new raise filed in the past year.
Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — none found. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases (search queued; results are added automatically).
What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.
