Court Finds Fund a “Beneficial Owner” Subject to Section 16 Despite Delegation to Investment Adviser

December 17, 2019
A federal district court found a private fund to be a “beneficial owner” subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, even though the fund had delegated voting and investment power to its investment adviser.1 Delegation has been relied upon by private funds in taking the position that the fund is a not a “beneficial owner” subject to Section 16. This ruling is likely to attract the interest of the Section 16(b) plaintiff’s bar, which reviews SEC filings for potential theories of private litigation.
