Simpson Thacher Attorneys Author Article on SEC’s Recently Proposed Rules for Private Funds

03.02.22

Partners David Blass, Michael Osnato, Michael Wolitzer, Marc Berger, Nicholas Goldin and Meaghan Kelly authored an article titled, “SEC Continues March Towards More Intrusive Regulation of Private Funds,” which was published by the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance. The article explores the SEC’s recently proposed rules targeted at private equity and other private funds that, if adopted, would change commercially negotiated terms by substantive regulation, significantly expand the disclosure of standardized fee and expense information and broadly prohibit certain practices in the private funds industry. The article further anticipates significant industry pushback on the breadth and scope of the proposed rules during the comment period and intense interest in the SEC’s economic analysis for its proposals.
