The short version

Dan Yu is listed as an executive officer on 4 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between May 2025 and Oct 2025: Sterling Investment Partners XK Opportunities Fund-A, L.P. (Greenwich, CT — pooled investment fund — 2025; $881.2M reported sold to 50 investors), Sterling Investment Partners XK Opportunities Fund, L.P. (Greenwich, CT — pooled investment fund — 2025; $881.2M reported sold to 50 investors), Sterling Investment Partners V-A, L.P. (Greenwich, CT — pooled investment fund — 2025) and Sterling Investment Partners V, L.P. (Greenwich, CT — pooled investment fund — 2025).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer. Across those companies the filings report $1.76B sold in total.

Listed alongside Charles W. Santoro (4 shared filings), James Soldano (4 shared filings), Joseph Gault (4 shared filings), M. William Macey, Jr. (4 shared filings), Michael A. Barr (4 shared filings) and 5 others.

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

All 4 issuers belong to the sponsor group Sterling (11 issuers, $3.56B reported sold, 2013–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Sterling has 11 companies on file and $3.56B 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) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 4 public filings for Dan Yu and found 4 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: GenCap Global Advisors DMCC; 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.

Note · Nov 16, 2021 – Oct 1, 2026

Same name, different state: "Dan Yu" (FL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CT. A separate record, "Dan Yu" with address state FL, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Y & Q Investment Fund, L.P. (Oct 1, 2026). Both records have filings in the same period (May 21, 2025 to Oct 31, 2025).

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.

Note · Dec 10, 2010 – Mar 5, 2018

Same name, different state: "Dan Yu" (VA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CT. A separate record, "Dan Yu" with address state VA, is listed on 5 filings — most recently by Y & Q Investment Fund, L.P. (Mar 5, 2018). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs May 21, 2025 to Oct 31, 2025; the other runs Dec 10, 2010 to Mar 5, 2018.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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).
