Abstract: This brief describes confidential data from the Securities and Exchange Commission's Form PF that give insights not previously available about the activities of private equity funds. The data allow regulators to monitor trends such as increased borrowing by the companies in which private equity funds invest or shifts in funds' investments. These trends may signal broader changes in the financial system.
