The short version

Ed E. Peters is listed as an executive officer on 17 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Dec 2009 and Jul 2013: First Quadrant Essential Beta Fund Ltd. (Pasadena, CA — pooled investment fund — 2010–2013; $1.86B reported sold to 6 investors), FQ GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND LTD (Pasadena, CA — pooled investment fund — 2010–2012; $339.6M reported sold to 1 investors) and FQ A-Squared Fund Ltd. (Pasadena, CA — pooled investment fund — 2009–2012; $155.4M reported sold to 3 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 4 years. Across those companies the filings report $2.35B sold in total.

Listed alongside Affiliated Managers Group (17 shared filings), Curtis J Ketterer (17 shared filings), Dori Levanoni (17 shared filings), R. Max Darnell (17 shared filings), Jia Ye (16 shared filings) and 13 others.

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

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Fq Global Diversified (5 issuers, $427.2M reported sold, 2009–2012) and First (3 issuers, $1B reported sold, 2010–2020).

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), 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 17 public filings for Ed E. Peters and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 offerings reported less sold on a later filing than an earlier one; Ed E. Peters is no longer listed on the Jun 30, 2014 amendment; 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

8 differences found between the filings for Ed E. Peters — 2 worth asking about (compared 17 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jan 3, 2011 – Jun 30, 2014

4 offerings reported less sold on a later filing than an earlier one

Amount sold went down between filings — First Quadrant Essential Beta Fund Ltd. · Amount sold went down between filings — FQ A-Squared Fund Ltd. · Amount sold went down between filings — FQ GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND LTD · Amount sold went down between filings — FQ A-Squared Fund Ltd.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up. Ask the sponsor what happened on each.

Sources
Worth asking · Jul 22, 2013 – Jun 30, 2014

Ed E. Peters is no longer listed on the Jun 30, 2014 amendment — First Quadrant Essential Beta Fund Ltd.

Ed E. Peters appears on the Jul 22, 2013 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Jun 30, 2014 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Sources
Note · Jan 14, 2010 – Jun 30, 2014

4 offerings changed their target amount between filings

Offering amount changed between filings — First Quadrant Essential Beta Fund Ltd. · Offering amount lowered between filings — First Quadrant Essential Beta Fund Ltd. · Offering amount changed between filings — FQ GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND LTD · Offering amount lowered between filings — First Quadrant Essential Beta Fund Ltd.

What this means Targets change as deals grow or shrink. Ask whether later money has the same terms.

Sources
Note · Dec 1, 2009 – Aug 16, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — FQ A-Squared Fund Ltd. (latest filing Aug 16, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 16, 2012 (first sale Dec 1, 2009). It reports $46,616,883 sold of $1,000,000,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

Note · May 11, 2006 – Aug 16, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — FQ GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND LTD (latest filing Aug 16, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 16, 2012 (first sale May 11, 2006). It reports $272,589,287 sold of $2,277,840,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

Note · Jul 18, 2016 – Feb 2, 2017

Address moved from George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) to Pasadena, CA — First Quadrant Essential Beta Fund Ltd.

The people listed on the Jul 18, 2016 filing give George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9); on the Feb 2, 2017 filing they give Pasadena, CA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Note · Dec 14, 2009 – Apr 4, 2011

Reported net asset value range changed between filings — FQ A-Squared Fund Ltd.

"$50,000,001 - $100,000,000" (Dec 14, 2009); then "Over $100,000,000" (Jan 3, 2011); then "$50,000,001 - $100,000,000" (Apr 4, 2011).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Sources
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.

5. Money to insiders

"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).
