The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has implemented significant changes to Form PF, aiming to gather additional data on private equity funds and hedge funds. Large hedge fund advisers, those managing $1.5 billion or more in assets, must now file Form PF within 72 hours of specific trigger events. Private equity fund advisers, regardless of size, must also report certain trigger events within 60 days after a fiscal quarter. Furthermore, large private equity advisers (managing at least $2 billion in assets) face additional reporting requirements on clawbacks and fund details.
