SEC Chicago Letter - A precursor for private funds

The SEC seems to be initiating a trend and "pre-screening" managers.  An April document request letter to a number of Chicago based advisers offers some insight into this trend. This scaled-down document request shows that the SEC is trying to cover more ground in less time.  This trend should be of interest to unregistered private fund managers regarding what they can expect once registered - ensure your ADV Part II, offering documents and promotional materials are consistent and compliant.
