CFTC and SEC Approve Confidential Private Fund Risk Reporting (Final Rule)

76 FR XXXX

The CFTC approved a final rule requiring certain advisors to private funds that are dually registered with the CFTC and the SEC to report information to the SEC for use by the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) in monitoring risks to the U.S. financial system. The SEC had previously approved the joint rule on October 26, 2011.

The Commissions' final rules, which implement Sections 404 and 406 of the Dodd-Frank Act, require SEC-registered investment advisers and dually registered CFTC registrants with at least $150 million in private fund assets under management to periodically file a new reporting form (Form PF).
