Yesterday, the SEC finally approved the proposed changes to the Private Funds regulations.\u00a0<\/span>Below you will find the official news release and an attachment with the Key Changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Most of the changes\/updates will become effective in 12 to 18 months; however, the SEC is providing “legacy status” for existing funds solely for the prohibitions aspect of the Preferential Treatment Rule and the aspects of the Restricted Activities Rule that require\u00a0<\/span>investor consent.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
We will be providing updates and guidance on how to comply with the new rule shortly.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Thanks, JC<\/span><\/div>\n

Risk Alert: Shortening the Securities Transaction Settlement Cycle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Today the Division of Examinations published a Risk Alert regarding the shortening of the securities transaction settlement cycle.\u00a0 On May 28, 2024, the standard settlement cycle for most broker-dealer transactions in the U.S. will shorten from two business days after the trade date to one business day after the trade date (\u201cT+1\u201d).\u00a0 \u00a0This is also the compliance date for new rules related to the processing of institutional trades by broker-dealers and certain clearing agencies, as well as certain recordkeeping amendments applicable to registered investment advisers.<\/p>\n

It is critical that registrants and other market participants prepare for the shortened settlement cycle and understand the impacts of T+1 and the final rules to identify necessary changes and critical dependencies in order to successfully manage this transition.<\/p>\n

To assess registrant preparedness, EXAMS intends to continue engaging with registrants through examinations and outreach.\u00a0 The Risk Alert provides registrants with additional information about the scope and content of the examinations and outreach.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the SEC finally approved the proposed changes to the Private Funds regulations.\u00a0<\/span>Below you will find the official news release and an attachment with the Key Changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Most of the changes\/updates will become effective in 12 to 18 months; however, the SEC is providing \"legacy status\" for existing funds solely for the prohibitions aspect of the Preferential Treatment Rule and the aspects of the Restricted Activities Rule that require\u00a0<\/span>investor consent.<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>
We will be providing updates and guidance on how to comply with the new rule shortly.<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>
Thanks, JC<\/span><\/div>

SEC and CFTC Adopt Substantial Amendments to Form PF<\/strong><\/h3>

March 7, 2024<\/p>

AUTHORS<\/strong>
Gabriel Acri | Benjamin B. Allensworth | Anne C. Choe | John F. Rupp<\/p>

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the \u201cSEC\u201d) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the \u201cCFTC,\u201d and
together with the SEC, the \u201cCommissions\u201d) recently voted to jointly adopt amendments to Form PF (the \u201cAmendments\u201d).
The Amendments significantly increase the amount of information required to be included on Form PF and limit the flexibility
in responding to a number of questions on the form. The Amendments represent the latest increase in the regulatory
burdens placed on private fund advisers. In particular, many Form PF filers just recently implemented, on December 11,
2023, compliance with the SEC\u2019s amendments to Form PF for large hedge fund advisers and advisers to private equity
funds to promptly report certain events.<\/p>

Notably, the Amendments will (i) enhance reporting requirements of large hedge fund advisers and qualifying hedge funds,
(ii) enhance reporting on basic information about advisers and the private funds they advise, (iii) require more detailed
information about the investment strategies, counterparty exposures, and trading and clearing mechanisms employed by hedge funds, and (iv) generally require large hedge fund advisers to report information on a disaggregated basis for master-
feeder funds and parallel funds. Certain of the changes in the Amendments overlap with disclosures currently included in CFTC Form CPO-PQR, such as information regarding withdrawals and redemptions, identifying sub-asset classes and portfolio exposures, counterparty exposures, and providing monthly performance information. The Amendments also will make certain timing changes that more closely align Form PF with Form CPO-PQR. While these changes may be thematically consistent with the information already provided in Form CPO-PQR, the presentation between the forms would still differ.<\/p>

The Commissions proposed the Amendments in August 2022 (the \u201cProposed Amendments\u201d) to address \u201cinformation gaps
and situations where revised information would improve\u201d their understanding of the private fund industry and potential
systemic risk within it. The Amendments represent a joint proposal of the Commissions, and they also reflect input from
other members of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (\u201cFSOC\u201d), including the Department of the Treasury and the
Federal Reserve Board.<\/p>

The Commissions note in the Proposing Release that since Form PF was initially adopted, the private fund industry has
grown in size and evolved in terms of business practices, complexity of fund structures, and investment strategies and
exposures. The value of private fund net assets reported on Form PF has more than doubled, growing from $5 trillion in
2013 to $14 trillion in through the first quarter of 2023, while the number of private funds reported on the form has increased
by nearly 130 percent.5 Citing the increasing complexity and evolution of the private funds space, the Commissions
indicated that the Amendments are designed to enhance the information private fund advisers file on Form PF and improve
data quality.<\/p>

In light of these developments, the Amendments are part of a broader regulatory effort to increase transparency of private
funds. On August 23, 2023, the SEC adopted new rules and amendments under the Advisers Act that substantially modify
existing regulatory requirements and create new compliance obligations for private fund advisers (the \u201cPrivate Fund Adviser
Rule\u201d). In addition, the May Amendments, which amend the SEC-only sections of Form PF (sections 3, 4, 5, and newly
adopted section 6), will, among other things, create new reporting requirements and require large hedge fund advisers and
advisers to private equity funds to report certain events within 72 hours of the event. While the Amendments and the May
Amendments do not directly overlap in the sections of Form PF they address, together they provide for a comprehensive
overhaul in Form PF\u2019s structure.<\/p>
