The short version

Jeffrey N. Given is listed as an executive officer on 10 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Dec 2013 and Mar 2023: Manulife Investment Management Total Return Bond Fund LP (Boston, MA — pooled investment fund — 2013–2023; $734.1M reported sold to 26 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 Peter M. Farley (10 shared filings), David Bees (7 shared filings), Declaration Management & Research LLC (4 shared filings, management entity), Bond Griffin (3 shared filings), Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC (3 shared filings, management entity) and 1 others.

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

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) — 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 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 10 public filings for Jeffrey N. Given and found 4 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Minimum investment changed between filings; 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

4 differences found between the filings for Jeffrey N. Given (compared 10 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Apr 2, 2012 – Mar 27, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Manulife Investment Management Total Return Bond Fund LP (latest filing Mar 27, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 27, 2023 (first sale Apr 2, 2012). It reports $734,067,884 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.

Sources
Note · Dec 18, 2012 – Dec 18, 2013

Minimum investment changed between filings — Manulife Investment Management Total Return Bond Fund LP

The Dec 18, 2012 filing lists a minimum of $10,000,000; the Dec 18, 2013 Form D/A lists $1,000,000.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

Sources
Note · Dec 18, 2013 – Oct 26, 2016

Jeffrey N. Given is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Jeffrey Given" on 4 filings (from Dec 18, 2013), and "Jeffrey N. Given" on 6 filings (from Oct 26, 2016).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · Mar 15, 2012 – Dec 18, 2012

Address moved from Mclean, VA to Boston, MA — Manulife Investment Management Total Return Bond Fund LP

The people listed on the Mar 15, 2012 filing give Mclean, VA; on the Dec 18, 2012 filing they give Boston, MA. The address now on file (Manulife Investment Management (Us) Llc, 197 Clarendon Street, Boston, MA) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 28 issuers.

What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.

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).
