U.S. Financial Services Committee approves private adviser registration bill
The U.S. House Committee on Financial Services announced yesterday that it had passed draft legislation (available here in its initial form as introduced in the House of Representatives) that would require the registration of advisers to private pools of capital. The draft legislation would also introduce new recordkeeping and disclosure requirements for private advisers and increase the regulation of advisers to hedge funds, private equity firms and other private pools of capital.
