Hedge Funds Could Be Regulated
A bill introduced by two senators today would subject hedge funds to regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, a requirement they said is necessary to protect investors and the U.S. financial system.
The Hedge Fund Transparency Act, sponsored by Senator Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.) and Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), would require hedge funds to register with the SEC, file an annual disclosure form, comply with SEC record-keeping standards and cooperate with SEC investigations.
