Directed Inquiry
Question: Investigate Clarium Capital: Search other for "Federal Register 2008-2009 SEC temporary relief investment adviser reporting requirements". Federal Register would contain official SEC rulemaking or emergency orders providing filing relief. Report any findings as factual claims with dates and evidence.
Date: 2026-04-09
Research Findings
Despite extensive research of Federal Register entries from 2008-2009 and SEC documentation, no evidence was found of specific temporary relief provisions for investment adviser reporting requirements that would have applied to Clarium Capital during this period. The search revealed the standard regulatory framework that existed before the Dodd-Frank Act created the Exempt Reporting Adviser (ERA) system in 2010. Clarium Capital Management LLC, founded by Peter Thiel in 2002, operated as a global macro hedge fund that peaked at $8 billion in assets under management in 2008 but subsequently declined dramatically due to investment losses and investor withdrawals during the financial crisis. The fund operated under standard SEC investment adviser regulations during 2008-2009, with no documented emergency relief measures found in the Federal Register archives. The requested search parameters yielded information about the regulatory environment and Clarium's operations, but no evidence of the specific SEC emergency orders or temporary relief provisions that were the subject of the investigation.
