Form PF is a new reporting requirement applicable to investment advisers to hedge funds, private equity funds and other private funds that meet certain asset thresholds. Investment Advisers subject to these rules will be required to report information on a quarterly or annual basis for use by the Financial Stability Oversight Council ("FSOC") in monitoring systemic risk to the US economy.
