The short version

James Dean is listed as a director on 12 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jul 2020 and Nov 2025: Alpstone Global Macro Fund (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2020–2025; $680.8M reported sold to 25 investors) and Alpstone Global Macro Fund LP (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2020–2025; $650.8M reported sold to 15 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $1.33B sold in total.

Listed alongside Alpstone Capital (Cayman) Limited (12 shared filings, management entity), Alpstone Capital (Jersey) Limited, as GP of Alpstone Capital (Jersey) LP (12 shared filings, management entity), Charles Woolnough (12 shared filings), Alpstone Capital (GP) Limited (6 shared filings, management entity), Alpstone Capital (Suisse) S.A. (6 shared filings, management entity) and 2 others.

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Alpstone (2 issuers, $1.33B reported sold, 2016–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Alpstone has 2 companies on file and $1.33B 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) — 3 SEC releases listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 records came back. 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.

We compared 12 public filings for James Dean and found 6 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "James S. Dean" (FL) is a separate record; 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

6 differences found between the filings for James Dean (compared 12 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 1, 2017 – Jul 18, 2025

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Alpstone Global Macro Fund (latest filing Jul 18, 2025)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 18, 2025 (first sale Jul 1, 2017). It reports $680,830,000 sold of an indefinite amount 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.

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).
