It appears the Securities and Exchange Commission has started its initial examination program for newly registered investment advisers, including private equity fund managers. This is a recent document request list sent by Boston’s regional office:
August Boston document request (.pdf).
The request list is shorter than the typical request letter. This seems to be in line with the earlier announcement that the SEC intended to make brief visits to lots of newly registered advisers.
Let me know if you have been visited by the SEC under this new program.
