The short version

Aaron Kless is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Feb 2024 and Apr 2026: Andalusian Credit Company, LLC (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2024–2026; $346.2M reported sold to 167 investors) and Andalusian Credit Rated JV I LLC (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2026; $140M reported sold to 4 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 2 years. Across those companies the filings report $486.2M sold in total.

Listed alongside Alan Frank (3 shared filings), Bita Ardalan (3 shared filings), Joseph Otting (3 shared filings), John Brown (1 shared filing), Kush Kothary (1 shared filing) and 5 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Aaron. Each name links to their own page.

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Andalusian (2 issuers, $486.2M reported sold, 2024–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Andalusian has 2 companies on file and $486.2M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

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) — 1 court case matching the name, 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 records 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 4 public filings for Aaron Kless and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: BNY Mellon, N.A; Form D filed 101 days after the first sale; 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.

Bankruptcy case: Kless v. Morgan Stanley Credit Corporation — filed Dec 30, 2010

United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. Michigan docket "Kless v. Morgan Stanley Credit Corporation" filed Dec 30, 2010, closed Feb 10, 2011. Aaron Kless is listed as Plaintiff ("Kless"). Our match estimate: 40%.

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.

Worth asking · Feb 23, 2024 – Feb 20, 2026

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: BNY Mellon, N.A. — Andalusian Credit Company, LLC

BNY Mellon, N.A. is listed as receiving sales compensation on 3 filings (Feb 23, 2024 to Feb 20, 2026) 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.

Worth asking · Nov 14, 2023 – Feb 23, 2024

Form D filed 101 days after the first sale — Andalusian Credit Company, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Nov 14, 2023. The Form D was filed Feb 23, 2024 — 101 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 86 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.

Note · Feb 20, 2025 – Feb 20, 2026

Minimum investment changed between filings — Andalusian Credit Company, LLC

The Feb 20, 2025 filing lists a minimum of $250,000; the Feb 20, 2026 Form D/A lists $200,000.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

Address moved from Short Hills, NJ to New York, NY — Andalusian Credit Company, LLC

The people listed on the Feb 23, 2024 filing give Short Hills, NJ; on the Feb 20, 2025 filing they give New York, NY. The address now on file (40 West 57th Street, Suite 1700, New York, NY) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 117 issuers.

What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.

Note · Feb 23, 2024 – Apr 7, 2026

Aaron Kless is listed with 2 different address states: NJ, NY

NJ on 1 filing (Feb 23, 2024); NY on 3 filings (Feb 20, 2025 to Apr 7, 2026).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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 every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
