Abstract:
Form PF will be filed by registered investment advisers that have at least $150 million in private fund assets under management. These advisers must report information regarding their private funds for use by the Financial Stability Oversight Council in monitoring systemic risk. Form PF divides respondents into two broad groups, Large Private Fund Advisers and smaller private fund advisers. "Large Private Fund Advisers" are advisers with at least $1.5 billion in assets under management attributable to hedge funds ("large hedge fund advisers"), advisers that manage "liquidity funds" and have at least $1 billion in combined assets under management attributable to liquidity funds and registered money market funds ("large liquidity fund advisers"), and advisers with at least $2 billion in assets under management attributable to private equity funds ("large private equity advisers"). All other respondents are considered smaller private fund advisers. Smaller private fund advisers must report annually and provide only basic information regarding their operations and the private funds they advise. Large private equity advisers also must report on an annual basis but are required to provide additional information with respect to the private equity funds they manage. Finally, large hedge fund advisers and large liquidity fund advisers must report on a quarterly basis and provide more information than other private fund advisers. A private fund adviser would also be required to file very limited information on Form PF if it is no longer required to report on the form, if it is transitioning from quarterly to annual filing or if it is requesting a hardship exemption. This collection of information would implement the requirements of Sections 404 and 406 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
