Question: Investigate Clarium Capital: Search SEC EDGAR for "Investment Company Act Release OR Investment Advisers Act Release 2008..2009 temporary relief filing extension". Would provide direct evidence of SEC temporary relief orders during the financial crisis period. Report any findings as factual claims with dates and evidence.
Date: 2026-04-08
My investigation did not find direct evidence of SEC temporary relief orders specifically for Clarium Capital during the 2008-2009 financial crisis period. However, I documented several key regulatory filings from this timeframe. Clarium Capital Management LLC was registered with the SEC as an investment adviser (CRD number 138971) and filed a Joint Filing Agreement on February 13, 2009, involving Peter Thiel as managing member. The firm experienced significant financial stress during this period, with assets declining from $8 billion in 2008 to eventually $350 million by 2011, posting negative returns of 4.5% in 2008 and 25% in 2009. While the SEC did issue various temporary relief measures for investment companies during the 2008-2009 crisis (such as Form D filing transitions and other regulatory accommodations), I could not locate specific Investment Company Act Release or Investment Advisers Act Release documents granting temporary relief to Clarium Capital during this period. The absence of such findings in publicly accessible SEC EDGAR records suggests either that no such relief was granted to Clarium, or that any such orders may not be readily accessible through standard search methods.
