Regulatory Clarity is the first in a series of applications designed to support fund allocators such as endowments, foundations, public and private pensions, family offices, sovereign wealth funds, OCIOs and consultants that are seeking ongoing monitoring of fund investments. We recognize the unique needs of fund allocators and the challenges they face when investing in traditional and alternative funds across the U.S. and around the world. Our application is designed to provide you with the meaningful updates that your fund managers have made to their regulatory filings, which may require further inquiry or action. Regulatory Clarity enhances your monitoring process and may inform you of matters for consideration between due diligence visits.
Kroll supports fund allocators with our process for monitoring critical information provided through the SEC’s Form ADV system. Our unique system monitors your fund investments, flags the changes for update importance and provides our clients with clear, easily understood information about why the change was flagged.
Managers are required to update their Form ADV filings annually, and more frequently if certain important changes are made. The filing changes may be mundane, important or critical:
Our proprietary flagging tool will sort the changes for you and provide you with our comments about what the changes mean and which changes you need to react to immediately.
Every morning, Regulatory Clarity will review all the updates to Form ADV on the SEC’s website. Our system reviews the entire Form ADV filing including every answer to every question in every section, all the schedules to the filing, as well as the Disclosure Reporting Pages (DRPs) and the signature page. In our daily email we will identify the managers that make changes, flag the changes and then sort the changes into one of three categories:
In addition to flagging the changes, we will explain why the issue is important, or perhaps critical. The Form ADV filing can be confusing and opaque to allocators that do not understand every change or why the change is signaling inconsistencies in the manager’s filing. Regulatory Clarity flags the changes and then it explains why the issues may be important to your firm. Regulatory Clarity will provide allocators with actionable information and not bury them with confusing data.
