The short version

J. Matthew Philo is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Mar 2013: MacKay Shields Core Fixed Income Fund LP (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2013; $297.2M reported sold to 14 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 2013. 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 Dan C. Roberts (1 shared filing), Edward Silverstein (1 shared filing), Jeffrey Phlegar (1 shared filing), John Akkerman (1 shared filing), John M. Loffredo (1 shared filing) and 3 others.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Mackay Municipal (47 issuers, $25.34B reported sold, 2010–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Mackay Municipal has 47 companies on file and $25.34B reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 8 court cases matching the name, 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 18 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

State courts: not yet searched. No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search.

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).
