INREV is urging European policymakers to relax ‘burdensome’ reporting rules for real estate managers contained in the European Market Infrastructure Regulation.

GPs should tailor their cybersecurity policies to the firm’s unique risk profile and not expect prescriptive SEC regulations on cybersecurity any time soon, a SEC official said at the 2015 PERE CFO Forum.

Real estate investors are digging deeper into GPs’ valuation policies and the accuracy of their performance projections.

A finalised version of the Volcker Rule expected Tuesday addresses some key industry concerns.

SEC inspectors, as well as the agency’s economic and risk analysis division, will make use of information submitted in Form PF filings.

The reform will allow private fund managers to advertise fundraising efforts under the condition they disclose more data to the commission.

A real estate fund manager allegedly making wild claims about the JOBS Act’s ability to help generate guaranteed investor returns has been charged with fraud by SEC officials.

The White House wants to exempt foreign investors from certain US tax when selling US real estate or infrastructure assets.

A proposal in the works would have US-based GPs report any suspicious trading to financial regulators – that is unless the industry could convince them the rule would be superfluous in the private equity and real estate spheres.

The European Commission has adopted long-awaited AIFM ‘level 2’ measures that GPs hoped would be scrapped during follow-up rulemaking.
