AIMA praises SEC and CFTC for taking positive step on Form PF

AIMA, the alternative investment trade body, has submitted a response welcoming proposed amendments by the US SEC and CFTC to Form PF, the regulatory filing used to monitor systemic risk across the hedge fund and private fund industry.

AIMA praised the proposal as a meaningful step toward proportionate regulation, highlighting in particular the raising of filing thresholds - which would exempt many smaller managers - and the removal of several burdensome reporting requirements introduced in 2024.

The response also put forward practical recommendations to improve the form's usefulness while reducing industry compliance costs. These include aligning Form PF with existing US GAAP and other regulatory reporting conventions to improve data quality and cut duplication, removing low-value monthly data points, and providing realistic implementation timelines.

AIMA CEO Jack Inglis welcomed the regulators' willingness to revisit the framework and offered the organisation's continued cooperation in developing a reporting regime that serves both regulatory and industry needs effectively. Source
