Abstract:
Form PF and rule 204(b)-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”) require certain investment advisers registered with the SEC to report confidential information about the private funds they advise. The rules implement provisions of Title IV of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”), which amended the Advisers Act to require the SEC to, among other things, establish reporting requirements for advisers to private funds. The information collected on Form PF is designed to facilitate the Financial Stability Oversight Council’s (“FSOC”) monitoring of systemic risk in the private fund industry and assist FSOC in determining whether and how to deploy its regulatory tools with respect to nonbank financial companies. The SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) also may use information collected on Form PF in their regulatory programs, including examinations, investigations, and investor protection efforts relating to private fund advisers. Form PF is a joint form between the SEC and the CFTC with respect to sections 1 and 2; the SEC solely adopted the other sections of the form.
