REGULATORY & COMPLIANCE

Form PF reporting supported by traceable data.

Build a repeatable workflow across fund, exposure, financing, counterparty and other required data for advisers that are in scope.

Overview

Form PF is a U.S. regulatory report for certain SEC-registered investment advisers to private funds. Scope, sections, thresholds and frequency depend on current rules and adviser/fund characteristics.

Operating priorities

Form PF is data-intensive and rule changes require careful mapping/version management across administrator, risk, financing and internal records.

Common operating challenges

  • Applicability/section logic not operationalised.
  • Multiple fund/exposure sources.
  • Definitions differ from internal risk reports.
  • Large prior-period movements unexplained.
  • Rule amendments require mapping changes.
