The rule requires SEC-registered investment advisers with at least $150 million in private fund assets under management to periodically file a new reporting form (Form PF).
SEC has divided private fund advisers into two broad groups – large advisers and smaller advisers. According to SEC, the amount of information reported and the frequency of reporting depends on the group to which the adviser belongs.

The SEC anticipates that most private fund advisers will be regarded as smaller private fund advisers, but that the relatively limited number of large advisers providing more detailed information will represent a substantial portion of industry assets under management. As a result, these thresholds will allow FSOC to monitor a significant portion of private fund assets while reducing the reporting burden for private fund advisers.
"The data collection form that we have adopted will address the dramatic lack of private fund information available to regulators today while easing the burden on private fund managers producing the data," said SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro.
There will be a two-stage phase-in period for compliance with Form PF filing requirements. Most private fund advisers will be required to begin filing Form PF following the end of their first fiscal year or fiscal quarter, as applicable, to end on or after 15 December 2012. Those with US$5 billion or more in private fund assets must begin filing Form PF following the end of their first fiscal year or fiscal quarter, as applicable, to end on or after 15 June 2012.
