AltStreet Analysis
·Generated from EDGAR primary sources
Delaware limited partnership formed in 2026 with a New Jersey address, filing as a pooled investment fund of the private equity type. Its first Form D, filed October 9, 2026 (accession 0002147309-26-000003), reports a total offering amount and a total amount sold of $1,256,650,000 with nothing remaining, 48 investors and a $250,000 minimum investment, and states in its Item 13 clarification that the total includes interests sold by its parallel fund, Princeton Equity Partners III, LP (CIK 2147316), whose own first Form D the same day repeats the figure and reports 47 investors at a $50,000 minimum. The $1,256,650,000 is therefore one fund total reported twice, not two amounts to be added, and Form D counts capital commitments as amounts sold. Both notices report sales commissions of $4,883,287 to the recipient listed in Item 12, payable in installments with respect to certain investors in both vehicles, and a management fee payable quarterly in advance to an affiliate of the general partner. The notices were signed by James Waskovich, Managing Member of the UGP, on October 8, 2026. Princeton Equity Group, founded in 2006 and based in Princeton, New Jersey, announced on September 29, 2026 the first and final close of Princeton Equity Partners III, L.P. with $1.3 billion in commitments at its hard cap, with Lazard as placement agent; the Form D figure is about $43 million below that rounded announcement, an unexplained difference between two reported figures.
Institutional private equity fund: the parallel vehicle of Princeton Equity Group's third flagship fund, which invests in franchisor and multi-location businesses, limited to qualified purchasers. Not a retail platform vehicle.

Grouped from Form D issuer names (generation, sleeve, jurisdiction and legal-form tokens removed); a name-only match, so abbreviated or renamed vehicles can be missed. Sold and investor figures are each vehicle's latest Form D; sleeves that report the same figure share one family-wide total and are counted once. Performance lines are what a public pension plan reports for its own interest in that fund, net, on the plan's cash flows and valuation date; they are not the general partner's figures.

Questions About Princeton Equity Partners III-A, LP
Each answer is built from the values on the SEC filing and the AltStreet ledger, not from the issuer's marketing.
What is Princeton Equity Partners III-A, LP?
Princeton Equity Partners III-A, LP is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 2026 that filed a Form D with the SEC on October 9, 2026 as a private equity fund. The filing claims Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(7) for an offering of pooled investment fund interests.
Is Princeton Equity Partners III-A, LP legit?
AltStreet does not rate legitimacy; it reports the public record. Princeton Equity Partners III-A, LP filed a Form D with the SEC on October 9, 2026 claiming Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(7). A Form D is a notice of an exempt offering, not a review or approval of it. The newest notice reports $1,256,650,000 sold to 48 investors. AltStreet's enforcement record (SEC, FINRA and state actions) shows no action naming the issuer as of today. Before investing, confirm the filing on EDGAR, check the seller's registration on FINRA BrokerCheck, and read the offering documents, which a Form D does not include.
Is Princeton Equity Partners III-A, LP registered with or approved by the SEC?
No. A Form D is a notice that an issuer is selling securities under an exemption from registration, and the SEC does not review, approve, or pass on the merits of the offering.
