Understanding Form PF Amendments: Implications for Large Hedge Fund Advisers
On May 3, 2023, the SEC adopted a final rule amending Form PF. The final rule amendments apply to large hedge fund advisers, having at least $1.5 billion in relevant AUM; private equity fund advisers, having at least $150 million in relevant AUM; and large private equity fund advisers, having at least $2 billion in relevant AUM.
According to the amendments, large hedge fund advisers must file a report, as soon as practicable, but no later than 72 hours from the occurrence of a triggering event. Triggering events include certain extraordinary investment losses such as 20% or more of a fund’s “reporting fund aggregate calculated value (“RFACV”); significant margin or default events; terminations of prime broker relationships; and events associated with withdrawals and redemptions.
