Definition: Private funds (PF) in the US must be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and report data regularly through Form PF. This form requires funds to report data about positions, transactions, performance, counterparties, risk, investors, and securities. There are five sections in Form PF. Section 1 is mandatory, section 2 is for large hedge funds, section 3 is for liquidity funds, section 4 is for private equity funds, and section 5 is for exemptions. Large private funds must report quarterly while small private funds must report annually.
Example: An example of Form PF is fund structure, in which advisers report on master-feeder arrangements.
