Private fund managers use the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (EDGAR) for filing beneficial ownership and insider reports required by Sections 13 and 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On September 27, 2024, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments overhauling the way filers use EDGAR. The changes are primarily codified in revisions to Rules 10 and 11 of Regulation S‑T, Form ID and Volume 1 of the EDGAR Filer Manual. The revised system – EDGAR Next – is intended to enhance security, improve filers’ ability to manage their EDGAR accounts and modernize connections to the system. The SEC is also providing several optional application programming interfaces that will enable filers to automate certain functions on EDGAR Next, which went live on March 24, 2025. This article discusses the new filing requirements. See “Shorter Filing Deadlines for Schedules 13D and 13G and Other Beneficial Ownership Rule Changes” (Jan. 4, 2024).
