The short version

Christopher Smock is listed as an executive officer on 6 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Nov 2022 and Nov 2024: CERES ORION L.P. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2022–2024; $2.68B reported sold to 31,127 investors) and Ceres Tactical Commodity L.P. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2022–2024; $845.6M reported sold to 109,607 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 2 years. Across those companies the filings report $3.53B sold in total.

Listed alongside Brooke Lambert (6 shared filings), Patrick T. Egan (6 shared filings), Tatiana Segal (6 shared filings), Victoria Eckstein (6 shared filings) and Steven Ross (2 shared filings).

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Managed Futures (24 issuers, $9.01B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Managed Futures has 24 companies on file and $9.01B 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 (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 2 bankruptcy 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 6 public filings for Christopher Smock and found 4 differences, 4 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count went down between filings; 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 Christopher Smock — 4 worth asking about (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 21, 2024 – Aug 8, 2025

Amount sold went down between filings — CERES ORION L.P.

The Nov 21, 2024 filing says $2,674,588,591 sold; the Aug 8, 2025 Form D/A says $2,673,818,593 sold — $769,998 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources
Worth asking · Nov 21, 2024 – Aug 8, 2025

The Nov 21, 2024 filing reports 9,581 investors; the Aug 8, 2025 Form D/A reports 9,577 investors.

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).
