The short version

RPBERT E. PHAY, JR. is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Jul 2013: Commonfund EM Quantitative Focus Fund, LLC (Norwalk, CT — pooled investment fund — 2013; $781M reported sold to 28 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jul 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 ALEC RAPAPORT (1 shared filing), Carolyn N. Blanch (1 shared filing), FREDRIC NELSON (1 shared filing), JEFFREY T. LONG (1 shared filing), JOHN W. AUCHINCLOSS (1 shared filing) and 4 others.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Commonfund (139 issuers, $54.38B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Commonfund has 139 companies on file and $54.38B 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, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 6 court cases matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 7 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.

We compared 1 public filing for RPBERT E. PHAY, JR. and found 3 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: 5 court cases name RPBERT E. PHAY, JR; RPBERT E. PHAY, JR. is no longer listed on the Jul 9, 2014 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.

RPBERT E. PHAY, JR. is no longer listed on the Jul 9, 2014 amendment — Commonfund EM Quantitative Focus Fund, LLC

RPBERT E. PHAY, JR. appears on the Jul 11, 2013 Form D (executive officer) but not on the Jul 9, 2014 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.

Address moved from Wilton, CT to Norwalk, CT — Commonfund EM Quantitative Focus Fund, LLC

The people listed on the Jul 15, 2025 filing give Wilton, CT; on the Dec 18, 2025 filing they give Norwalk, CT.

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.

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); KY (Kentucky Secretary of State — Business Entity Search (sosbes.sos.ky.gov), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

A person is never an adviser firm. 1 of the 1 issuer this person is listed on matches a Form ADV adviser (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026): Commonfund EM Quantitative Focus Fund, LLC.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to RPBERT E. PHAY, JR. by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 1 issuer this person is listed on — nothing matched.
