Two weeks ago, we reminded private fund managers that the extended Form PF compliance deadline (June 12, 2025) was fast approaching. Many have spent the past year preparing for XML schema updates, expanded data fields, and new reporting requirements.
Yet with only two weeks left prior to the implementation deadline, the industry is pushing back. The Managed Funds Association (MFA) has formally requested a further twelve-month extension for Form PF compliance, to delay the deadline to June 2026. As detailed in their letter to the SEC and CFTC, this request stems from the sheer complexity of new data collections, continuous changes to the form (with the final schema only being published May 2nd), and recent executive orders impacting rulemaking. This implies that even at this late stage, firms are grappling with the intricacies of implementation.
These latest developments underscore the persistent difficulties facing the industry. The regulatory landscape for asset managers continues to evolve rapidly, presenting significant operational challenges in implementing new reporting requirements.
