BNY Mellon has developed a reporting solution, called Form PF reporting solution that enables its affected alternative investment clients to prepare and file Form PF, as required by recent rules introduced by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
Form PF reporting solution is a joint effort of the SEC and CFTC and complies with Section 404 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which is aimed at protecting investors and the US financial system from future systemic risk.

The solution offers its fund administration clients who are SEC Registered Investment Advisers to private funds the ability to meet Form PF’s complex data collection, records management, transparency reporting and filing requirements.
The company is offering two solutions: a premium service tailored to individual client needs where BNY Mellon collects and aggregates data from internal and external sources, and a standard service where BNY Mellon receives calculated data from the client. With either option, clients review and then file the completed Form PF with the SEC.
Alan Flanagan, global head of product management for alternative investment services at BNY Mellon, said: "Fund managers and advisers are challenged by growing regulatory demands. This important new service is part of our ongoing investment in technology to make reporting and compliance as seamless for clients as possible.
"Investment clients that need the infrastructure or added resources to identify, aggregate and manage Form PF requirements can turn to us for flexible, cost-efficient support, allowing them to better focus on their core expertise of investment management."
