Description:
The 2010 Dodd-Frank Act generally required advisers to private equity and hedge funds to register with the SEC, but exempted advisers to venture capital funds from similar regulation regardless of the firm’s size and assets. Recently, many venture capital firms have chosen to voluntarily register with the SEC as an investment adviser, thereby voluntarily subjecting themselves to significant regulation and oversight. Our expert panel will explore this trend as well as the current regulatory environment, including:
- Why VC firms are voluntarily registering
- Details on the VC exemption and potential changes to the exemption by the SEC
- Investor perspectives
- The regulatory environment and likelihood of additional scrutiny being placed on VC advisers
- The registration process, and steps venture capital firms and other investment advisers can take to stay ahead of potential regulatory changes
- Specific issues unique to VC firms when becoming a registered adviser
