Overview

Why you should attend

The government’s recent crackdown on insider trading has focused on hedge funds, their consultants and those who analyze and trade for them. Employees of expert networks that are used to provide a wide range of market participants with industry and company-specific information are being accused in these cases as well. The Dodd-Frank Act has significantly altered the regulatory framework for hedge fund advisers and private equity firms and many are in the process of preparing for the challenges that registration presents. Regulators and enforcement officials continue to probe valuations of illiquid investments, disclosures to investors, cross trades and preferential redemptions and gates. The SEC’s Market Abuse Unit is now in full swing and criminal prosecutors are taking a far more active role in investigating hedge fund activity than ever before. New CFTC rules under Dodd-Frank abound and the agency’s expanded regulatory role will likely bring more new enforcement investigations. With all this in mind, the role of compliance has never been more important and hedge funds are employing new strategies to meet those challenges and risks.

What you will learn
