Description

U.S. Regulation of Hedge Funds 2nd Edition ISBN 9781616328115

Significant changes have reshaped banking and financial regulation in recent years. In July 2010, Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Act, introducing sweeping reforms aimed at increasing transparency and regulatory oversight of the financial markets. Hedge fund managers were not exempt from this heightened scrutiny. As mandated by Dodd-Frank, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules in 2011 that once again eliminated the private adviser exemption, expanded registration requirements for hedge fund managers at the federal or state level, and imposed more detailed and frequent reporting obligations. In parallel, the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued thousands of pages of proposed regulations—many of which have since been adopted—directly or indirectly affecting investment advisers and hedge funds.

Attorneys at SHARTSIS FRIESE LLP, one of the nation’s leading law firms representing hedge fund managers, have combined their expertise in this second edition of U.S. Regulation of Hedge Funds to address these regulatory developments and the evolving compliance landscape. This comprehensive volume offers a top-to-bottom analysis of hedge fund regulation, consolidating discussion of the securities, tax, ERISA, and commodities laws that govern hedge funds and their investment advisers into a single, accessible resource.

The book surveys the federal securities laws and regulations applicable to the formation, capitalization, and operation of private U.S. investment partnerships that primarily invest and trade in public securities markets. It is an indispensable reference for hedge fund managers and for lawyers who advise them.
