Risk coverage is partial. SEC SALI queries covered 14 of 14 current roster members. The screen identified two SEC federal actions with judgments associated with Chris Faulkner, while CAF employment attribution is not established by the SALI pages; this requires diligence and is not conclusive CAF attribution. Foreclosure coverage remains 0 of 3 jurisdictions checked and 0 of 504 units checked, with a press-reported, primary-unverified Travis County flag. Unreached populations are not treated as clear. SEC Action Lookup · Travis County index.
Clear, partial enforcement The unfiltered SEC full-text query returned 37 filing-text hits, but the results were unrelated issuers and did not identify the CAF entities. EFTS indexes filings only and does not establish absence of SEC litigation releases or administrative proceedings. This is a filing-screen result, not a claim that no enforcement action exists.
Finding enforcement 14 of 14 roster people were queried through SEC SALI. Chris Faulkner returned two SEC federal actions: SEC v. Christopher A. Faulkner et al., 3:16-cv-01735 (N.D. Tex.), filed 2016-06-24, judgment dated 2018-10-23; and SEC v. Christopher A. Faulkner et al., 3:17-cv-02405 (N.D. Tex.), filed 2017-09-11, judgment dated 2018-09-26. The official CAF roster identifies Chris Faulkner as CEO, but the SALI pages do not provide CAF employment; this is an identity-match finding requiring diligence, not conclusive CAF attribution. The remaining 13 named roster searches returned no SALI results. SALI covers individuals with judgments/orders in actions filed 1995-10-01 through 2025-01-31, excludes pending cases, and is not current for the post-2025-01-31 window.
Clear, partial enforcement The IAPD firm query returned two unrelated firms whose names or other names contain CAF or Capital Partners terms, not a verified CAF Capital Partners match. No CAF adviser record was established. An IAPD absence is not treated as Item 11 clean; registered/ERA controls and ADV PDF DRP counting were not completed.
Clear, partial litigation No verified federal docket disposition screen was completed across the entity set and all 14 executives. The Chris Faulkner SALI matters are official SEC federal actions with judgments, but CAF-company attribution was not established from the available identifiers; same-name/identity safeguards prevent treating them as CAF findings without additional hard identifiers.
Clear, partial bankruptcy CourtListener bankruptcy screening for the sponsor and vehicle population was not completed.
Clear, partial foreclosure Foreclosure status partial: 0 of 504 units and 0 of 3 jurisdictions checked. Travis County, Texas is a finding based on a press-reported posted-trustee-sale flag with primary verification false; Dallas County, Texas is partial with official index identified but searches not completed; other CAF property jurisdictions are blocked pending property-to-county reconciliation after the portfolio search surface returned network failure. The unreached units and jurisdictions are not treated as clean.
Clear, partial code violation The properties finding establishes 74 published CAF Management communities across Texas, Arizona, and Oklahoma, but no address-level code-enforcement screen was completed; ownership by CAF Capital is not established for those managed communities.
Clear, partial adverse media Targeted searches did not establish a verified adverse-media matter matching CAF Capital Partners LLC, CAF Companies, CAF Management, or CAF Funds. Search results alone are not treated as proof of a clean screen; broader source and docket coverage remains open.
Clear, partial enforcement The 74-community management roster was identified, but ownership and operator attribution for CAF Capital's investment portfolio were not established, so no operator-by-operator RealPage/MDL 3071 docket screen was completed.
Finding foreclosure: Travis County, Texas Official index requires proceeding past the accuracy disclaimer and running document-type/name searches; press evidence supplies a live lead but not primary verification.
Queued foreclosure: Dallas County, Texas Queued/unsearched. Named primary-source blocker: Dallas County FC search and notice-PDF review were not completed; this jurisdiction must not be read as clear or partial.
Queued foreclosure: Other CAF Capital property jurisdictions not discoverable from the spine Primary-source blocker: property-to-county reconciliation is incomplete after the portfolio search surface returned network failure; each resulting recording jurisdiction still requires its official foreclosure-index search.
The press-reported foreclosure lead concerns The Morgan Apartments, 1801 Wells Branch Parkway, Austin, TX 78728, 504 units: borrower SPE 1801 Wells Branch LLC, lender Rialto Capital Management, $60.1M note amount, notice date August 3, 2026, and outcome date August 4, 2026. Servicer and instrument number were not stated or retrieved; status is posted-trustee-sale-flagged-press-reported-primary-unverified, and primary verification is false. Source.

This is a partial review screen covering 2 of 74 managed communities. Google Maps displayed 3.8 for Spring Parc and 3.7 for The Residence at North Dallas, without review counts.

The verified platform claim describes an in-house management and asset-operations model, including asset-management and construction leadership, and a Residence at North Dallas strategy with on-site programs and property upgrades. The documented tradeoff is a regional footprint centered on Texas markets rather than broad geographic diversification. Social-impact case · Investment philosophy.

How CAF Capital Partners compares
CAF’s published management directory is Texas-anchored across three states, with a documented in-house operating platform and sponsor-reported realization history. Allocators should distinguish the 74-community managed footprint from ownership, treat sponsor-reported returns as such, and complete the partial risk, foreclosure, and reputation work before reaching a broad comparative conclusion.
