The short version

Chris Nero is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 5 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jun 2023 and Jan 2026: Bridgeport Access Series LP - NewEdge Uncorrelated Returns Fund I (Cardiff, CA — pooled investment fund — 2025–2026; $29.8M reported sold to 49 investors), Circle Oak Acquisitions Fund I, LP (Olean, NY — investing — 2023–2024; $12.3M reported sold to 47 investors) and Bridgeport Access Series LP - NRC Private Equity Opportunities III BP Feeder Series (Cardiff, CA — pooled investment fund — 2025; $8.25M reported sold to 9 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and promoter, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $50.3M sold in total.

Listed alongside David Stefanick (3 shared filings), Marcus Steele (3 shared filings), NewEdge Wealth LLC (3 shared filings, management entity), BridgePort Management Services NEWUF1, LLC (2 shared filings, management entity), Dana Cornell (2 shared filings) and 2 others.

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

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Bridgeport (38 issuers, $4.2B reported sold, 2009–2026) and Circle Oak (6 issuers, $21.2M reported sold, 2021–2026).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 12 court cases matching the name, 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 21 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.

Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. 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.

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).
