The short version

ECOP GP LLC is a management entity listed as an executive officer and promoter on 16 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Feb 2011 and Feb 2026: ELLINGTON CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES PARTNERS LP (Old Greenwich, CT — pooled investment fund — 2011–2026; $455.4M reported sold to 117 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.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Ellington (54 issuers, $6.37B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Ellington has 54 companies on file and $6.37B reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

No differences found between the public filings we have for ECOP GP LLC (compared 16 filings on Oct 24, 2026).

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 entity is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
