IOSCO publishes regulatory standards respecting funds of hedge funds

Posted on September 17, 2009

On September 14, the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) released a report outlining proposed standards "aimed at addressing regulatory issues of investor protection which have arisen due to the increased involvement of retail investors in hedge funds through funds of hedge funds." The report's proposals focus on the two particular areas of concern identified in an earlier report of June 2008, being: (i) liquidity risk; and (ii) the due diligence process. As stated by the release, the standards "form part of a larger body of work that IOSCO has been engaged in with regards to addressing the regulatory issues presented by hedge funds."
