AIMA's CEO and Deputy CEO have written directly to acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda to acknowledge his accession to the head of the SEC and outline several short-term objectives that would immediately benefit the alternative investment industry and market confidence.

In the letter, AIMA recommends the following actions be taken: 

1 - Extend compliance timelines for the short sales rule

2 - Withdraw the Dealer Rule appeal

3 - Champion the establishment of a Crypto Task Force

4 - Provide additional time for Form PF compliance

AIMA has a positive and productive relationship with Mark Uyeda during his tenure as an SEC Commissioner, including hosting him at our APAC forum in October 2024, and we look forward to continuing a constructive dialogue.
