Compliance Corner Q2-2018: Regulatory Filings and Other Considerations That Hedge Fund Managers Should Note in the Coming Quarter

The SEC continues to increase its touchpoints with registered investment advisers. In its most recently published Agency Financial Report, the Commission reported that it examined 15 percent of SEC-registered investment advisers during its 2017 fiscal year, up from 11 percent in 2016 and 8 percent five years ago. Given the SEC’s heightened examination coverage, private fund investment advisers should continue to ensure that they are making timely and accurate filings and meeting required compliance deadlines and obligations in order to reduce potential regulatory scrutiny from SEC staff during examinations. This fourth installment of the Hedge Fund Law Report’s quarterly compliance update, authored by Danielle Joseph and Anthony Frattone, director and consultant, respectively, at ACA Compliance Group, highlights regulatory filings and code of ethics reports that must be completed during the second quarter of 2018. In addition, this article discusses compliance deadlines relating to Rule 22e‑4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Risk Management Program Rule) and the E.U. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For more on GDPR, see “A Fund Manager’s Roadmap to Big Data: Privacy Concerns, Third Parties and Drones (Part Three of Three)” (Jan. 25, 2018).
