The short version

Fundsmith is a sponsor group of 3 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, shared management entity, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 29 Form D filings between May 2011 and Sep 2026.

What this means One team, 3 deal companies, about 15 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: $2.05B to 822 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Pooled Investment Fund (3). Issuers are based in CT (3).

What this means $2.05B raised across the group, about $2.49M per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Fundsmith LLP (3 issuers, executive officer, entity), Fundsmith Partners US LLC (3 issuers, executive officer, entity), Greville Ward (3 issuers, executive officer), Mark Aubrey Seymour Laurence (3 issuers, executive officer), Paul Mainwaring (3 issuers, executive officer) and 12 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 Sep 2, 2026.

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

Adviser registration (Form ADV) on record: FUNDSMITH PARTNERS US LLC; FUNDSMITH, LLP.

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) — 1 court case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record came back. 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 29 public filings for Fundsmith and found 7 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Investor count went down between filings; 13 people are no longer listed on a later 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.

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:16 AM ET.

Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search.

Names that appear only in the body of a release are not found. — Searched SEC litigation releases and administrative proceedings (1995→ / 2007→) (30,205 records as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET) — nothing matched Fundsmith..

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.

7 differences found between the filings for Fundsmith — 3 worth asking about (compared 29 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Sep 2, 2025 – Sep 2, 2026

Investor count went down between filings — Fundsmith Equity Fund, L.P.

The Sep 2, 2025 filing reports 564 investors; the Sep 2, 2026 Form D/A reports 137 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Sources
Worth asking · Mar 2, 2022 – Mar 2, 2023

Investor count went down between filings — Smithson, L.P.

The Mar 2, 2022 filing reports 122 investors; the Mar 2, 2023 Form D/A reports 105 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Sources
Worth asking · May 4, 2012 – Sep 2, 2022

13 people are no longer listed on a later amendment

Greville Ward is no longer listed on the Sep 2, 2022 amendment — Fundsmith Equity Fund, L.P. · Simon Charles Godwin is no longer listed on the Sep 2, 2022 amendment — Fundsmith Equity Fund, L.P. · Greville Ward is no longer listed on the Mar 2, 2022 amendment — Smithson, L.P. · Simon Charles Godwin is no longer listed on the Mar 2, 2022 amendment — Smithson, L.P. · Greville Ward is no longer listed on the Dec 13, 2021 amendment — Fundsmith Sustainable Equity Fund, L.P. · and 8 more

What this means People leave; the issuer lists only current officers, directors and promoters. Ask why and who replaced them.

Sources
Note · Feb 20, 2020 – Feb 29, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Smithson, L.P. (latest filing Feb 29, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 29, 2024 (first sale Feb 20, 2020). It reports $244,292,463 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 · Apr 26, 2013 – Sep 17, 2018

Simon Charles Godwin is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Simon Godwin" on 5 filings (from Apr 26, 2013), and "Simon Charles Godwin" on 9 filings (from Sep 17, 2018).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · May 6, 2011 – Apr 26, 2013

Julian John Robins is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Julian Robins" on 2 filings (from May 6, 2011), and "Julian John Robins" on 4 filings (from Apr 26, 2013).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · May 4, 2012 – Apr 26, 2013

Address moved from New Canaan, CT to London, United Kingdom (as filed: X0) — Fundsmith Equity Fund, L.P.

The people listed on the May 4, 2012 filing give New Canaan, CT; on the Apr 26, 2013 filing they give London, United Kingdom (as filed: X0).

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
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.

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.
