The short version

Stephen Edwards is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 3 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Oct 2015 and Aug 2021: Core Capital Partners II LP (London, United Kingdom (as filed: X0) — pooled investment fund — 2015; $1.31B reported sold to 20 investors), ESO Feeder Fund VII S.C.Sp. (Grandy Duchy of Luxembourg, Luxembourg (as filed: N4) — pooled investment fund — 2021; $48.9M reported sold to 3 investors) and ESO US Feeder Fund VII LP (Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Luxembourg (as filed: N4) — pooled investment fund — 2021).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and promoter, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $1.36B sold in total.

Listed alongside Walid Fakhry (3 shared filings), Alex Schmid (2 shared filings), Alter Domus Management Company SA (2 shared filings, management entity), ESO Capital Advisors LLP (2 shared filings, management entity), Arnold Dopo (1 shared filing) and 9 others.

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

All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group Eso (3 issuers, $1.36B reported sold, 2015–2021).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Eso has 3 companies on file and $1.36B 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) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 3 public filings for Stephen Edwards and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 73 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

5 differences found between the filings for Stephen Edwards — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Aug 17, 2015 – Oct 29, 2015

Form D filed 73 days after the first sale — Core Capital Partners II LP

The filing says the first sale was Aug 17, 2015. The Form D was filed Oct 29, 2015 — 73 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 58 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.

Note · Jun 25, 2019 – Aug 27, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ESO Feeder Fund VII S.C.Sp. (latest filing Aug 27, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 27, 2021 (first sale Jun 25, 2019). It reports $48,948,330 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).
