The information contained with Form PF is designed to enable the Financial Stability Oversight Council to better monitor systemic risk in the United States financial system.

The timing, frequency and filing deadlines for Form PF are based on the type and size of private funds under management. Some key data requirements for Form PF include: 

• Periodic reporting on performance, risk, investor and portfolio information which has previously been outside the scope of regulatory reporting and SEC supervision.
• Identification and aggregation of funds deemed to have parallel strategies to determine whether a private fund is a qualifying hedge fund for regulatory purposes.
• Ongoing assessment of funds subject to reporting based on variable fund characteristics such as RAuM and trading strategies.
• Reporting on non standard metrics including portfolio liquidity, portfolio turnover, investor liquidity, financing liquidity, trading and clearing mechanisms. 

With increased regulatory requirements, investment advisers may not have the resources nor the ability to obtain the expertise to compile Form PF. As a result, it is not surprising that investment advisers are seeking independent advice and assistance in the preparation of the form.
