Cybersecurity
As with all companies, funds face the risk of cyberattacks and other threats. Fund boards oversee the adviser’s and other service providers’ management of this risk. Regulators are increasing their attention to cybersecurity, examining practices and issuing guidance. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff recommends that registrants, such as funds, take into account cybersecurity considerations when identifying their compliance obligations under the federal securities laws.
