The Commodity Futures Trading Commission eliminated a widely used exemption from commodity pool operator ('CPO') registration on February 9th 2012. Since 2003, in connection with offerings to sophisticated investors, many hedge fund managers have relied on CFTC Rule 4.13(a)(4) to avoid CPO registration. The practical effect of the change is that sponsors of many hedge funds will have to register with the CTFC as CPOs and become subject to some, but not all, of the CTFC's disclosure, reporting and record keeping requirments. As part of the registration process, the principals and certain employees of the CPO will need to submit fingerprint cards
