SEC and CFTC Further Extend Compliance Date for Amendments to Form PF

The SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Corporation (CFTC) have announced a further extension of the compliance date for their February 2024 joint amendments to Form PF — that is, “the confidential reporting form for certain SEC-registered investment advisers to private funds, including those that also are registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator . . . or commodity trading adviser.” The compliance date, which was originally March 12, 2025, was previously extended to June 12, 2025, and October 1, 2025, and is now being extended by an additional year to October 1, 2026. The additional extension is intended to give the SEC “time to complete a substantive review of Form PF in accordance with a Presidential Memorandum and take any further appropriate actions, which may include proposing new amendments to Form PF.”
