Statement On The Amendments To Form PF, SEC Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda, April 20, 2026

Date 20/04/2026

I am pleased to support the proposal to amend Form PF, which represents a thoughtful recalibration of our regulatory approach to private fund reporting. Congress made a deliberate choice to exempt private funds from the Investment Company Act. However, over the past several years, the Commission has sought to impose regulatory obligations on private funds that exceed the obligations imposed on mutual funds through the financial stability authority in the Investment Advisers Act. Fortunately, the judicial system has served as a check on this unbounded reading of authority under the federal securities laws.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) jointly proposed amendments to reduce private fund reporting burdens while enabling the continued collection of necessary and appropriate information.
