The short version

David Cole is listed as a director on 8 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Mar 2017 and Jul 2026: Vontobel Holding Ltd. (Zurich, Switzerland (as filed: V8) — investment banking — 2017–2026; $15M reported sold to 24 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 Bjorn Wettergren (8 shared filings), Georg Schubiger (8 shared filings), Maja Baumann (8 shared filings), Stefan Loacker (6 shared filings), Zeno Staub (6 shared filings) and 27 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 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 8 public filings for David Cole and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 8 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale; 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.

6 differences found between the filings for David Cole — 1 worth asking about (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 6, 2016 – Jul 10, 2026

8 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale

Form D filed 127 days after the first sale — Vontobel Holding Ltd. · Form D filed 310 days after the first sale — Vontobel Holding Ltd. · Form D filed 671 days after the first sale — Vontobel Holding Ltd. · Form D filed 238 days after the first sale — Vontobel Holding Ltd. · Form D filed 249 days after the first sale — Vontobel Holding Ltd. · and 3 more

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.
