Meet the evolving regulatory challenges for the alternative investments market

In recent years, the hedge fund and alternative investment market has grown exponentially, representing over 20,000 funds in the U.S. and over 22,000 in the EU. With increased regulatory pressures, such as the Private Fund Advisers rule, traditional spreadsheets and Word documents simply can’t meet today’s complex compliance regulations. ArcReporting® streamlines the reporting process to drive efficiency and reduce risk.

Understanding the SEC’s Private Fund Advisers Rule

The SEC recently passed the Private Fund Advisers rule, requiring investment advisers registered under the ’40 Act to create a quarterly report for any private fund that they advise directly or indirectly and which has at least two full fiscal quarters of operating results. In addition, private fund advisers are now subject to new audit requirements on the annual report. On each fiscal-year-end report, the financial statements must be audited by an independent public accountant.
