The short version

Steve Paddon is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between May 2010 and May 2011: Ninety One Global Dynamic Equity Fund LLC (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2010–2011; $275.4M reported sold to 8 investors) and Investec Institutional Pan Africa Fund LLC (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2010–2011; $147.1M reported sold to 4 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director. Across those companies the filings report $422.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside Investec Asset Management US Ltd. (3 shared filings, management entity) and Invested Asset Management US Ltd. (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 Steve. Each name links to their own page.

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Investec (2 issuers, $532.9M reported sold, 2010–2014) and Ninety One (19 issuers, $9.15B reported sold, 2010–2026).

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, 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) — 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 4 public filings for Steve Paddon and found 8 differences, 6 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count went down 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

8 differences found between the filings for Steve Paddon — 6 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 20, 2010 – May 19, 2011

Amount sold went down between filings — Ninety One Global Dynamic Equity Fund LLC

The May 20, 2010 filing says $67,500,000 sold; the May 19, 2011 Form D/A says $55,100,626 sold — $12,399,374 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.

Investor count went down between filings — Investec Institutional Pan Africa Fund LLC

The May 20, 2010 filing reports 3 investors; the May 19, 2011 Form D/A reports 2 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Form D filed 357 days after the first sale — Investec Institutional Pan Africa Fund LLC

The filing says the first sale was May 28, 2009. The Form D was filed May 20, 2010 — 357 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 342 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.

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.

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); 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 2 issuers this person is listed on matches a Form ADV adviser (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026): Ninety One Global Dynamic Equity Fund LLC.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Steve Paddon by design.
