Abstract:
The world of “ESG” for private fund advisers is complex and dynamic with shifting investor preferences, evolving state laws, and proposed SEC rulemaking. This can make strategic decision-making and effective compliance efforts seem daunting. This article posits that the same tried and true principles that apply in many other areas of Advisers Act compliance — transparency and alignment between disclosures and practices—will serve private fund advisers well in navigating the complex landscape and offers practical suggestions for doing so.Keywords: Proposed Amendments to Form ADV; SEC Examination and Enforcement Tools
