Dodd-Frank: More New Rules for Investment Advisers and Hedge Funds

The Securities and Exchange Commission now has new rules implementing  core provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act regarding investment advisers, including those that advise hedge funds.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that now require advisers to hedge funds and other private funds to register with the SEC, establish new exemptions from SEC registration and reporting requirements for certain advisers, and reallocate regulatory responsibility for advisers between the SEC and states.
