WSJ Article- PE+HF Brace for Coming SEC Overhaul

I want to hear the WSO community's opinion on the recent WSJ article on the SEC's increased regulation in the industry. I would recommend reading the entire article, but it mentions that "The SEC's proposed overhaul would require private funds to provide investors with quarterly statements and annual audits, increase their liability for mismanagement or negligence..."

PMs and other members of the community who are high up in alts, how much will the industry change (if it does at all)? Will private real estate funds be affected by this regulation more than private credit or PE funds? Do you guys even think that this regulation will even happen?
