Regulatory Reporting Recap: N-PORT vs. N-CEN

Form N-PORT is an SEC filing that requires registered investment companies (RICs) to submit details of their portfolio holdings on a quarterly basis, along with monthly breakdowns. Form N-CEN, however is an annual SEC filing that requires RICs to report census-type information about their related counterparties such as brokers, transfer agents, pricing agents and directors. These two filings combine to make up the mandatory SEC reporting requirements of US-based RICs.

IVP’s global team of experts have deconstructed the regulatory requirements for all RICs and developed a fully functional, end-to-end solution to support clients with their SEC filings. Backed by over 11 years working with hedge funds, private equity firms and RICs on their regulatory reporting requirements, IVP’s Regulatory Reporting Solution has a user-friendly interface with a streamlined process to easily generate final outputs that are ready to be submitted to the SEC. The process starts by loading data from the warehouse/admin and, from there, the solution automatically generates a populated PDF and XML. This perfect combination of automation and transparency provides clients with multiple opportunities to review, verify and amend data wherever needed while helping them save a considerable amount of time and effort.
