·

Every sentence is a value as filed on SEC Form D

Argonaut Private Equity Fund III, LP is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 2016 that filed a Form D with the SEC on July 8, 2016, describing itself as a private equity fund. The offering claims Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(7) and covers equity and pooled investment fund interests. Argonaut Private Equity Fund III, LP reported that the first sale had not yet occurred as of the Form D filed July 8, 2016, so no amount sold or investor count is on file. The total offering amount is listed as indefinite. The offering relies on Rule 506(b), which permits sales to accredited investors and to no more than 35 non-accredited investors who meet a sophistication standard, and prohibits general solicitation. Because the fund also relies on Section 3(c)(7), each investor must be a qualified purchaser, generally an individual with at least $5 million in investments. The filing reports no non-accredited investors. The filing lists the minimum investment as $0, meaning no minimum was stated. The Form D names no recipient of sales compensation, which usually means the issuer or its affiliates are placing the securities directly. Sales commissions are reported as $0 and finders' fees as $0. Form D allows these to be estimates. The issuer's address of record is 6733 South Yale Avenue, Tulsa, OK 74136.

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 Argonaut Private Equity Fund III, LP

Is Argonaut Private Equity Fund III, LP legit?

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 Argonaut Private Equity Fund III, 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.

It does not verify the issuer's claims or its business.
