The short version

Benjamin S. Appen is listed as an executive officer and director on 55 SEC Form D filings by 10 issuers between Nov 2009 and Aug 2026. Largest by amount reported sold: Magnitude International (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2023–2026; $3.64B reported sold to 530 investors), Magnitude U.S. Partners (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2023–2026; $1.64B reported sold to 700 investors), Magnitude Institutional, Ltd. (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2009–2026; $1.42B reported sold to 34 investors), Phoenix MAG, Ltd. (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2016–2026; $260M reported sold to 1 investors), Magnitude Lucida, Ltd. (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2025–2026; $152.1M reported sold to 1 investors) and 5 more (all listed below).

What this means That is a lot of deals — 10 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 17 years. Across those companies the filings report $7.27B sold in total.

Listed alongside James M. Hall (52 shared filings), Magnitude Capital, LLC (38 shared filings, management entity), Andrew H. Messinger (31 shared filings), Magnitude Management, LLC (18 shared filings, management entity), Georgia Prinsloo (17 shared filings) and 10 others.

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

All 10 issuers belong to the sponsor group Magnitude (13 issuers, $7.32B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Magnitude has 13 companies on file and $7.32B 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) — 2 court cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 the newest 50 of 55 public filings for Benjamin S. Appen and found 4 differences: 4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open; Benjamin S. Appen's role changed at Magnitude Institutional, Ltd.: director → executive officer; 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

4 differences found between the filings for Benjamin S. Appen (compared the newest 50 of 55 filings on Oct 24, 2026; older filings not covered)

Note · Feb 1, 2010 – Aug 14, 2024

4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Magnitude Private Partners, L.P. (latest filing Aug 14, 2024) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Magnitude Total Portfolio Fund, L.P. (latest filing Aug 19, 2019) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Magnitude Select Opportunities Fund, SP - Series 2 (latest filing May 13, 2014) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Magnitude Select Opportunities Fund, LLC - Series 2 (latest filing Apr 21, 2014)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Benjamin S. Appen's role changed at Magnitude Institutional, Ltd.: director → executive officer

The Nov 23, 2011 filing lists Benjamin S. Appen as director; the Aug 14, 2023 Form D/A lists executive officer.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Address moved from Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) to New York, NY — Magnitude Institutional, Ltd. · Address moved from Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) to New York, NY — Magnitude U.S. Partners · Address moved from Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) to New York, NY — Magnitude International · Address moved from George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) to Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — Magnitude Institutional, Ltd. · Address moved from Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) to George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — Magnitude Institutional, Ltd.

Note · Nov 25, 2009 – Aug 14, 2026

Benjamin S. Appen is listed with 2 different address states: E9, NY

Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) on 3 filings (Nov 25, 2009 to Nov 23, 2011); NY on 52 filings (Feb 12, 2010 to Aug 14, 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. We compared the newest 50 of 55 filings (work cap); older filings are not covered here. 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).
