The short version

Ashley Vardon is listed as a director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Dec 2018 and Sep 2023: DG Macro Fund Ltd (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2018–2023; $95.5M reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside DG Partners LLP (6 shared filings, management entity), Gary Clark (6 shared filings) and Julia Chapman (6 shared filings).

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Brevan Howard (95 issuers, $49.76B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Brevan Howard has 95 companies on file and $49.76B 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 9 court cases matching the name, 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 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 6 public filings for Ashley Vardon and found 2 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Ashley Vardon is no longer listed on the Sep 26, 2023 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

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

2 differences found between the filings for Ashley Vardon — 1 worth asking about (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Sep 19, 2023 – Sep 26, 2023

Ashley Vardon is no longer listed on the Sep 26, 2023 amendment — DG Macro Fund Ltd

Ashley Vardon appears on the Sep 19, 2023 Form D/A (director) but not on the Sep 26, 2023 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.

Sources
Note · Mar 29, 2019 – Dec 6, 2024

Same name, different state: "Ashley Vardon" (Y9) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is E9. A separate record, "Ashley Vardon" with address state Y9, is listed on 7 filings — most recently by SBI VOLUTION VENTURE FUND LP (Dec 6, 2024). Both records have filings in the same period (Mar 29, 2019 to Sep 19, 2023).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.

5. Money to insiders
