Introduction
This report provides a summary of recent private fund industry statistics and trends, reflecting
data collected through Form PF and Form ADV filings.1 Form PF information provided in this
report is aggregated, rounded, and/or masked to avoid potential disclosure of proprietary
information of individual Form PF filers.
This report reflects data from Second Calendar Quarter 2020 through First Calendar Quarter
2022 as reported by Form PF filers.2 Please see the Appendix for information on the categories of
Form PF filers, the definitions of capitalized terms, a description of the boxplots used in several
figures, as well as other technical descriptions.
The Staff continues to work with data reported on Form PF and with filers to identify
and correct filing errors. Staff updates reported statistics based on amended filings and
also may make certain adjustments to the statistics presented to correct what appear to
be clear filing errors. Further, the Staff has employed certain assumptions in aggregating
the data. Future adjustments to these methodologies and amended filings that change
the underlying data could lead to changes in previously reported statistics.
If you have any questions or comments about First Calendar Quarter 2022 Private
Funds Statistics, please contact:
Tim Dulaney, PhD, FRM, Tim Husson, PhD, FRM, or Trevor Tatum at FormPF@sec.gov with subject
line “First Calendar Quarter 2022-Private Funds Statistics”.
1
Only SEC-registered advisers with at least $150 million in private fund assets under management must report to the
Commission on Form PF. SEC-registered investment advisers with less than $150 million in private fund assets under
management, SEC exempt reporting advisers, and state-registered investment advisers are not required to file Form PF,
but report general information about the private funds they manage on Form ADV.
2
The Commission began receiving Form PF filings from Large Hedge Fund Advisers in July 2012. A full data set was
not received until March 2013.

Form PF Filer Categories
The amount of information an adviser must report and the frequency with which it must report
on Form PF depends on the amount of the adviser’s private fund assets and the types of private
funds managed. Reporting advisers must identify the types of private funds they manage on Form
PF.
1
All Private Fund Advisers
SEC-registered investment advisers with at least $150 million in private fund assets under
management are required to file Form PF. Registered investment advisers with less than $150 million
in private funds assets under management, exempt reporting advisers, and state-registered advisers
report general private fund data on Form ADV, but do not file Form PF.6 Not all Form PF filers
report on a quarterly basis. Smaller private fund advisers and all private equity fund advisers file
Form PF on an annual basis, while larger hedge fund advisers and larger liquidity fund advisers file
the form quarterly.7 As a result of the difference in reporting frequency, information in this report
related to funds that are reported annually may be dated by several months.8
2
Large Hedge Fund Advisers
Large Hedge Fund Advisers have at least $1.5 billion in hedge fund assets under management.
A Large Hedge Fund Adviser is required to file Form PF quarterly and provide data about each
hedge fund it managed during the reporting period (irrespective of the size of the fund).
Large Hedge Fund Advisers must report more information on Form PF about Qualifying Hedge
Funds than other hedge funds they manage during the reporting period. A Qualifying Hedge Fund is
any hedge fund advised by a Large Hedge Fund Adviser that had a NAV (individually or in
combination with any feeder funds, parallel funds, and/or dependent parallel managed accounts) of
at least $500 million as of the last day of any month in the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the
adviser’s most recently completed fiscal quarter. This report provides information about all hedge
funds reported by Large Hedge Fund Advisers, including Qualifying Hedge Funds and smaller hedge
funds. This report also provides an overview of certain data reported solely for Qualifying Hedge
Funds.
6
Note that these thresholds are on a gross basis. Exempt reporting advisers are advisers that rely on the exemptions
from SEC registration in Advisers Act section 203(l) for venture capital fund advisers and section 203(m) for advisers
managing less than $150 million in private fund assets in the U.S.
7
An adviser may be a large hedge fund adviser that must file quarterly to report data about the hedge funds it manages
as well as a private equity fund adviser that must file only annually to report data about the private equity funds it
manages.
8
In addition, because some Form PF filers have fiscal year ends that are not December 31, not all Form PF data is filed
as of a single date.
61

Analytics Office
Large Liquidity Fund Advisers
Large Liquidity Fund Advisers have at least $1 billion in combined liquidity fund and money
market fund assets under management. On a quarterly basis, such advisers report on Form PF data
about the liquidity funds they managed during the reporting period (irrespective of the size of the
fund). This report contains information about all liquidity funds reported by Large Liquidity Fund
Advisers (referred to in this report as “Section 3 Liquidity Funds”).
4
Large Private Equity Fund Advisers
Large Private Equity Fund Advisers have at least a $2 billion in private equity fund assets
under management. These advisers are required to file Form PF annually in connection with the
private equity funds they managed during the reporting period. Smaller Private Equity Fund
Advisers must file annually as well, but provide less detail regarding the private equity funds they
manage. This report provides information about private equity funds managed by Large Private
Equity Fund Advisers (referred to in this report as “Section 4 Private Equity Funds”).
5
Other Private Fund Advisers
All advisers required to file Form PF that are not Large Hedge Fund Advisers or Large
Liquidity Fund Advisers must file Form PF annually to report data about each private fund
managed by the adviser.9 These “annual filing advisers” include smaller fund advisers, Large Private
Equity Fund advisers, and venture capital fund advisers. Annual filers must provide specific
information about each of the private funds they manage on an annual basis.
9
This includes “other private funds,” which are private funds that do not meet the Form PF definition of hedge fund,
liquidity fund, private equity fund, real estate fund, securitized asset fund, or venture capital fund.

Analytics Office
Handling Annual and Quarterly Data
Only a subset of filers (Large Hedge Fund Advisers and Large Liquidity Fund Advisers) are
required to file Form PF quarterly; all other filings are made annually. Annual filings are typically,
but not always, made at the end of the calendar year, as Form PF allows filings to be made at the
end of an adviser’s fiscal year. In order to present the most complete and recent data possible, while
accounting for differences in filing dates, we use the following procedure for determining which data
to consider in any given quarter:
First, filings are grouped by their report date within their reported year:
(Q1): February 15 to May 14
(Q2): May 15 to August 14
(Q3): August 15 to November 14
(Q4): November 15 to February 14
Then, responses for funds that have no information are ‘filled forward’ — essentially, copied
from last reported values — up to a maximum of three quarters. Any fund that has no data four
quarters after its most recent date is no longer counted or included in any calculations.10
C
How to Read a Boxplot
In these figures, the boxes extend from the twenty-fifth percentile to the seventy-fifth percentile,
while the levels (the dashed vertical lines) extend from the tenth to the twenty-fifth percentile as well
as the seventy-fifth to the ninetieth percentile. Also shown as a red line within the box is the median
(the fiftieth percentile) and the horizontal dashed line is mean of the distribution. See Figure 25 for
an explanation of each feature.
Figure 25: How to Read a Boxplot
10
Form PF has no requirement to inform the SEC if a fund liquidates or otherwise terminates operations. Therefore,
liquidations or terminations may not be reflected on this report for up to one year after ceasing operations.

Analytics Office
Mitigating the Effects of Outliers
Form PF data occasionally contains spurious outliers. While Analytics Office staff actively
engages in outreach to identify and correct such values, not all aberrant values have been corrected
as of this writing. To reduce the effect of these outliers on the aggregate measures reported here, we
have chosen to winsorize or trim some data sets.
Winsorization is a technique for reducing the effect of outliers by reducing the size of the largest
and smallest values in a distribution.11 For example, to calculate a 95%/5% winsorized data set, all
the values above the ninety-fifth percentile are set to the value of the ninety-fifth percentile, and all
the values below the fifth percentile are set to the value of the fifth percentile. Effectively, this
procedure makes the very largest values smaller (but still large), and all the smallest values larger
(but still small). This approach can be more effective than trimming (simply removing the largest
and/or smallest values) because it does not change the number of data points and does not change
the median or other percentile values within the 95%/5% range. All instances of winsorization or
trimming have been noted and include the affected percentiles.
11
Such techniques are known as ‘robust statistics’, reviewed for example in Wilcox (2012), Introduction to Robust
Estimation & Hypothesis Testing, 3rd Edition.

Definitions
Included by reference are all definitions included in the glossary of Form PF.
Aggregate Exposure
A dollar value for long and short positions as of the last day in each
month of the reporting period, by sub-asset class, including all exposure
whether held physically, synthetically or through derivatives. Includes
closed out and OTC forward positions that have not expired, as well as
positions in side-pockets.
Borrowing
In Form PF, borrowings include secured borrowings, unsecured borrowings, as well as synthetic borrowings (e.g., total return swaps that meet
the failed sale accounting requirements).
CPC
Controlled portfolio company, as defined in Form PF.
Gross Notional Exposure (GNE)
The gross nominal or notional value of all transactions that have been
entered into but not yet settled as of the data reporting date. For
contracts with variable nominal or notional principal amounts, the basis
for reporting is the nominal or notional principal amounts as of the data
reporting date.
Hedge Fund
Any private fund (other than a securitized asset fund): (a) with respect
to which one or more investment advisers (or related persons of investment advisers) may be paid a performance fee or allocation calculated
by taking into account unrealized gains (other than a fee or allocation
the calculation of which may take into account unrealized gains solely
for the purpose of reducing such fee or allocation to reflect net unrealized losses); (b) that may borrow an amount in excess of one-half of
its net asset value (including any committed capital) or may have gross
notional exposure in excess of twice its net asset value (including any
committed capital); or (c) that may sell securities or other assets short
or enter into similar transactions (other than for the purpose of hedging currency exposure or managing duration). The definition of a hedge
fund for Form PF purposes also includes any commodity pool an adviser
reports on Form PF.
IRDs
Interest rate derivatives, including foreign exchange derivatives used for
either investment or hedging.
Large Hedge Fund Adviser
An adviser that has at least $1.5 billion in hedge fund assets under
management.
65

preceding the adviser’s most recently completed fiscal quarter.
Section 3 Liquidity Fund
A liquidity fund advised by a Large Liquidity Fund Adviser.
Section 4 Private Equity Fund
A private equity fund advised by a Large Private Equity Fund Adviser.
Value
For derivatives (other than options), “value” means gross notional value;
for options, “value” means delta adjusted notional value; for all other
investments and for all borrowings where the reporting fund is the creditor, “value” means market value or, where there is not a readily available
market value, fair value; for borrowings where the reporting fund is the
debtor, “value” means the value you report internally and to current
and prospective investors.
