Generated from EDGAR primary sources

GCA Credit Opportunities Offshore Fund, Ltd. is a Cayman Islands-domiciled pooled investment vehicle managed by Global Credit Advisers, LLC, operating under Rule 506(b) and 3(c) exemptions. This amended filing reports $216.1M raised from 60 investors with a $100K minimum investment. The fund focuses on private credit strategies and is structured as an offshore vehicle for cross-border capital deployment.

This private credit fund employs a typical institutional structure with 506(b) and 3(c)(1) exemptions, positioning it for accredited and qualified purchaser capital. The $100K minimum investment threshold is accessible relative to many offshore credit funds, while the 60-investor base suggests a retail-accredited or lower-middle-market institutional composition rather than purely institutional anchor capital.

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.

AltStreet links the issuer to GCA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES OFFSHORE FUND, LTD..

Is GCA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES OFFSHORE FUND, LTD. legit?

GCA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES OFFSHORE FUND, LTD. filed a Form D with the SEC on January 13, 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 $216,061,999 sold to 60 investors. AltStreet's enforcement record (SEC, FINRA and state actions) shows no action naming the issuer as of today. The issuer is linked to GCA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES OFFSHORE FUND, LTD., which AltStreet has reviewed.

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.
