Just as the rest of Washington is intent on opening private funds to retail investors, regulators at OCIE issued a risk alert warning investment advisers and CFOs that there are ongoing problems in the industry.

For private fund compliance officers and CFOs, the risk alert is a challenge to nearly every corner of their business. For retail fund compliance officers, it’s a warning to be extra diligent when and if they consider private investments.
