About
In the wake of the controversial December 2004 SEC rule mandating registration for the largely unregulated $800 billion hedge fund industry, it is critical that hedge fund executives get their firm up to an institutional standard of compliance. As you know, it is no small task designing and implementing operations and processes to meet the demands of such stringent requirements.
If you are at all involved with mitigating risk at your firm as an in-house counsel, compliance officer, operating officer, senior manager charged with the task of compliance at hedge funds and fund of funds, or a prime broker or outside attorney representing hedge funds and their managers you will not want to miss this publication.
