The short version

John Duff Saxe is listed as an executive officer on 3 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Sep 2023 and Dec 2024: Ascent Private Real Assets Lending Fund, L.P. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2023; $148.7M reported sold to 217 investors), Ascent Private Investment Fund IV, L.P. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2024; $114.4M reported sold to 44 investors) and Ascent Private Co-Investment Fund III, L.P. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2023; $15.6M reported sold to 105 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer. Across those companies the filings report $278.7M sold in total.

Listed alongside Ascent Private Investment Fund IV GP, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity) and Summit Trail Advisors, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity).

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

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Ascent (2 issuers, $130M reported sold, 2023–2024) and Ascent (9 issuers, $2.37B reported sold, 2015–2026).

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

What this means 2 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 3 public filings for John Duff Saxe and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: John Duff Saxe is no longer listed on the Jun 26, 2026 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

4 differences found between the filings for John Duff Saxe — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Dec 19, 2024 – Dec 30, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Ascent Private Investment Fund IV, L.P. (latest filing Dec 30, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 30, 2024 (first sale Dec 19, 2024). It reports $114,390,000 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.

Note · Sep 29, 2023 – Oct 13, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Ascent Private Co-Investment Fund III, L.P. (latest filing Oct 13, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 13, 2023 (first sale Sep 29, 2023). It reports $15,635,000 sold of an indefinite amount offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

Worth asking · Sep 19, 2023 – Jun 26, 2026

John Duff Saxe is no longer listed on the Jun 26, 2026 amendment — Ascent Private Real Assets Lending Fund, L.P.

John Duff Saxe appears on the Sep 19, 2023 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Jun 26, 2026 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.

Note · Jan 29, 2021

Same name, different state: "John Saxe" (AZ) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY. A separate record, "John Saxe" with address state AZ, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Cancer Prevention Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Jan 29, 2021). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Sep 19, 2023 to Dec 30, 2024; the other has one filing dated Jan 29, 2021.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.
