The short version

Kenneth Settles is listed as an executive officer on 12 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jan 2015 and Jun 2026: SailingStone Global Natural Resources Fund, L.P. (Houston, TX — pooled investment fund — 2015–2026; $597M reported sold to 95 investors) and PEP SailingStone Ludlow LP (Houston, TX — pooled investment fund — 2024; $10M reported sold to 17 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 11 years. Across those companies the filings report $607M sold in total.

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Sailingstone (2 issuers, $607M reported sold, 2015–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Sailingstone has 2 companies on file and $607M 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 20 court cases matching the name, 1 SEC release, 23 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 44 records came back, including 5 court cases 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.

We compared 12 public filings for Kenneth Settles and found 6 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Form D filed 304 days after the first sale; 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 Kenneth Settles — 2 worth asking about (compared 12 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jan 17, 2020 – Jan 15, 2021

Amount sold went down between filings — SailingStone Global Natural Resources Fund, L.P.

The Jan 17, 2020 filing says $516,683,325 sold; the Jan 15, 2021 Form D/A says $462,328,773 sold — $54,354,552 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Worth asking · Jul 24, 2023 – May 23, 2024

Form D filed 304 days after the first sale — PEP SailingStone Ludlow LP

The filing says the first sale was Jul 24, 2023. The Form D was filed May 23, 2024 — 304 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 289 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Jan 2, 2015 – Jan 20, 2015

Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — SailingStone Global Natural Resources Fund, L.P.

The filing says the first sale was Jan 2, 2015. The Form D was filed Jan 20, 2015 — 18 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Jan 15, 2021 – Jun 6, 2023

Address moved from Larkspur, CA to Houston, TX — SailingStone Global Natural Resources Fund, L.P.

The people listed on the Jan 15, 2021 filing give Larkspur, CA; on the Jun 6, 2023 filing they give Houston, TX.

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.

Sources
Note · Jan 18, 2019 – Jan 17, 2020

Address moved from San Francisco, CA to Larkspur, CA — SailingStone Global Natural Resources Fund, L.P.

The people listed on the Jan 18, 2019 filing give San Francisco, CA; on the Jan 17, 2020 filing they give Larkspur, 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.

Sources
Note · Jan 20, 2015 – Jun 8, 2026

Kenneth Settles is listed with 2 different address states: CA, TX

CA on 7 filings (Jan 20, 2015 to Jan 15, 2021); TX on 5 filings (Jun 6, 2023 to Jun 8, 2026).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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

0 of 2 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 0 report proceeds to related persons. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
