CFTC Further Extends Compliance Date for Amendments to Form PF

WASHINGTON — The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today published a Joint Final Rule with the Securities and Exchange Commission further extending the compliance date for the amendments to Form PF that were adopted on February 8, 2024 (“Form PF Amendments”), from October 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027.  Form PF is the confidential reporting form for certain SEC-registered investment advisers to private funds, including those that also are registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator (a “CPO”) or a commodity trading adviser (a “CTA”).

Extending the compliance date for the Form PF Amendments allows Form PF filers to avoid certain potentially significant costs associated with implementing the Form PF Amendments that the Commissions have subsequently proposed to amend and/or eliminate in a new rule proposal issued on April 20, 2026.  The extension of the compliance date of the Form PF Amendments will provide the Commissions time to fully consider comments received on the April 2026 rule proposal.
