Joint final rule; further extension of compliance date.
Summary
The rule updates the reporting deadline for Form PF, the confidential questionnaire that investment advisers use to disclose information about the private funds they manage. The change pushes back the date by which advisers must begin filing the revised version of the form, giving firms additional time to adjust their data‑collection and reporting systems. The extension is intended to reduce administrative burden and ensure that the information submitted to regulators remains accurate and complete. The rule was issued jointly by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It applies to all SEC‑registered investment advisers that manage private funds and are also registered with the CFTC as commodity pool operators or commodity trading advisers. In practice, this includes many hedge fund advisers that fall under the “large adviser” reporting thresholds. The amendment, originally set to take effect on October 1, 2026, is now effective immediately on September 3, 2026, with the new compliance deadline moved to July 1, 2027. No public comment period is required for this extension, as the agencies are simply postponing an already‑adopted rule. After July 1, 2027, the affected advisers must begin submitting the updated Form PF according to the revised schedule.

Official abstract
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") (collectively, "we" or the "Commissions") are further extending the compliance date for the amendments to Form PF that were adopted on February 8, 2024, from October 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027. Form PF 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 (a "CPO") or a commodity trading adviser (a "CTA").
