		<title>SEC and CFTC Proposed Amendments to Form PF: Implications for Private Fund Advisers</title>
		<link>https://www.chapman.com/publication-10165.html</link>
		<description><![CDATA[ The Securities Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission have jointly proposed amendments to Form PF, the confidential reporting form for certain SEC-registered investment advisers to private funds, including those also registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator or a commodity trading advisor. According to the Proposing Release, the Proposal would eliminate certain filing and reporting obligations, streamline certain requirements, and make corrections and other revisions, and is designed to eliminate certain burdens while ensuring Form PF continues to collect information necessary and appropriate in the public interest and for the protection of investors, or for the assessment of systemic risk in the US financial system by the Financial Stability Oversight Council. ]]></description>

		<title>Credit Risk Transfer, Simplified</title>
		<link>https://www.chapman.com/publication-10090.html</link>
		<description><![CDATA[ A well-trodden path for banks to achieve regulatory capital reductions by mitigating credit risk is through a synthetic securitization, either by issuing credit-linked notes (CLNs) or engaging in bespoke bilateral credit derivative transactions. These transactions&mdash;while complex to execute&mdash;offer the significant advantage of transferring risk on a large, diversified portfolio of obligors, allowing investors to evaluate credit risk on a statistical basis. This lessens the need for investor diligence at the level of individual obligations, which facilitates risk transfer on obligors for whom information might be limited or costly to digest. ]]></description>

		<title>CFTC Updates Regulation 4.7 Without Adopting the Proposed Disclosure Requirements</title>
		<link>https://www.chapman.com/publication-10085.html</link>
		<description><![CDATA[ On September 12, 2024, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) adopted amendments to CFTC Regulation 4.7 (Reg. 4.7), a rule that provides exemptions from the broader compliance requirements under Part 4 of the CFTC regulations (Part 4) for registered commodity pool operators (CPOs) with respect to pools (4.7 pools) offered solely to &ldquo;Qualified Eligible Persons&rdquo; (QEPs) and registered commodity trading advisors (CTAs) that advise or manage commodity trading accounts of QEPs. The amendments (i) increase the financial thresholds in the &ldquo;Portfolio Requirement&rdquo; of the QEP definition and (ii) permit CPOs of fund of fund pools offered solely to QEPs to provide monthly account statements within 45 days of the month-end, rather than providing quarterly account statements within 30 days of the quarter-end. The CFTC chose not to adopt, at this time, the proposed minimum QEP disclosures. ]]></description>
