There has been a lot of conjecture that the SEC may become friendlier to registrants because of the new administration. Given the SEC’s mandate to protect the investing public, however, we do not expect SEC examiners to become more lenient on private equity and hedge fund managers. Instead, we anticipate SEC staff becoming less focused on “rulemaking through enforcement” and (hopefully) imposing more moderate sanctions than those under Chair Gensler. SEC examiners now, more than ever, feel the pressure to show their value.
