Topic: Regulators' thirst for data on your private funds seems unquenchable. Count the latest example the new Form PF, which regulators say will provide "important information about the basic operations and strategies of private funds and help establish a baseline picture of potential systemic risk in the private fund industry."
The data are to be kept confidential by the SEC, the CFTC and the Financial Stability Oversight Council. The first reporting deadline is as early as June but, given the extent of data requested, you can’t get started early enough.
And keep in mind that the regulators readily admit your Form PF data will “complement information the SEC collects on Form ADV” and the CFTC obtains from registrants – making accurate, consistent reporting vital.
