SEC and CFTC Extend Form PF Compliance Date to Oct. 1, 2026

The Securities and Exchange Commission and U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission have voted to extend the compliance date for investment advisers to report under amended Form PF.

What's Changed?

The initial deadline was set to expire on Oct. 1, 2025, but has now been pushed back an additional year. This extension applies to certain private fund advisers who must file confidential reports with the SEC and CFTC using Form PF.

  • Private fund advisers will have more time to comply with new reporting requirements
  • The extended deadline may allow for a smoother transition, but also increases regulatory uncertainty

Risk Assessment

We assess the risk level as high, given the significant changes and increased complexity of Form PF amendments.

  • Warning: Investment advisers with private funds may need to revisit their reporting obligations due to the extended compliance date

Staying Ready

Investors may want to review and update their financial management tools, such as software for monitoring investments or managing regulatory requirements.
