FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The National Association of Private Fund Managers (“NAPFM”) today issued the following statement regarding its participation in the litigation brought against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to the recently approved Private Fund Adviser rules:

“NAPFM believes it is important to join this litigation challenging the SEC’s newly-adopted Private Fund Adviser rules.  These rules will lead to higher costs and fewer choices for fund investors, ultimately limiting the ability of pension funds, endowments, and other institutions to obtain investment returns for their beneficiaries. We believe the rules are a blatant overreach of the SEC’s statutory authority and violate the Administrative Procedure Act, and we are committed to pursuing this case to prevent these unnecessary and damaging rules from taking effect.”
