[U.S. SEC and CFTC Delay Hedge Fund Disclosure Requirements for the Fourth Time] Odaily Planet Daily News – The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have once again postponed the implementation of new hedge fund information disclosure rules, extending the deadline for submitting the Private Fund Reporting Form (Form PF) to July 1. The rule is designed to help regulators monitor private funds' holdings, leverage, and risk exposure during periods of market volatility, in order to identify counterparty risks, margin pressures, and potential systemic risks. This marks the fourth time regulators have delayed the related requirements. Previously, the new disclosure rules faced opposition from the private equity fund industry, with fund companies expressing concerns about the potential leakage of sensitive information such as investment strategies. In April of this year, the SEC and CFTC proposed adjustments to the plan, aiming to raise the reporting threshold for Form PF by increasing the private fund asset management scale threshold from $150 million to $1 billion. However, this proposal has yet to be finalized.
