Compliance teams at private funds should start analyzing the impact of new rules from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) now, experts said, even though compliance dates are a year to 18 months away.
“Don’t wait until 18 months are up,” said Ken Joseph, managing director at Kroll who formerly worked as a senior officer in the SEC’s Division of Examinations. “The process should begin now, now that we have clarity on what the rules say.”
On Wednesday, the SEC passed a series of rules and amendments to the Investment Advisers Act that are “the most significant changes to the regulation of advisers to private funds since the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010,” according to industry group the Investment Adviser Association.
