As a reminder, smaller private fund advisers registered with the SEC and “large private equity fund advisers” with a fiscal year-end of December 31 must file their Form PF with the SEC by April 30, 2013.
Smaller private fund advisers include all SEC-registered advisers with at least $150 million in private fund assets under management that do not exceed the “large private fund adviser” thresholds. Large private fund advisers are:
-
advisers with at least $1.5 billion in assets under management attributable to hedge funds;
-
liquidity fund advisers with at least $1 billion in combined assets under management attributable to liquidity funds and registered money market funds; and
-
large private equity fund advisers, which are advisers with at least $2 billion in assets under management attributable to private equity funds.
Smaller private fund advisers and large private equity fund advisers are required to file Form PF annually, while other large advisers must file on a quarterly basis.
