SEC and CFTC Adopt Amendments to Form PF

February 29, 2024

On February 8, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC and, together with the SEC, the Commissions) voted to adopt amendments to Form PF that will impact the required reporting for SEC-registered investment advisers that file on Form PF (Form PF Amendments). The Form PF Amendments will affect (1) all filers of Form PF, (2) advisers to hedge funds, and (3) large hedge fund advisers to qualifying hedge funds. The compliance date will be 365 days after publication of the Adopting Release in the Federal Register. The Form PF Amendments largely adopt the substance of the proposal issued by the Commissions on August 10, 2022, which sought to enhance the information advisers file on Form PF and improve data quality.
