SEC Sets Sights On CRE Private Equity

WASHINGTON, DC—Chair Mary Jo White says the SEC is concerned about disclosure issues around business relationships at these funds.

WASHINGTON, DC—On Friday, Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Mary Jo White told an industry audience that the regulator is not comfortable with what it feels is lack of disclosure between private equity funds that specialize in real estate and the deals they may or may not be closing with their business partners that have an impact on investors in these funds.  Therefore, extra scrutiny will be paid.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

White’s comments come on the heels of what is turning into a fraught year for private equity funds and their relationships with regulators.
