- This bill broadens the scope of the type of private investments that are covered under the statutory protections of confidential and proprietary information from public disclosure. Maintains transparency by requiring that the name of investment vehicles, the amount invested, and the rate of return on the investment must be reported annually.
- The protections are required in order to provide greater transparency to FPPA fiduciaries regarding investments. With the protections in place, FPPA will be allowed by investment managers to participate in private alternative investments.
- This amendment is necessary as FPPA has broadened its asset allocation to include a wider range of private alternative investments.
