The hedge fund industry has launched the Hedge Fund Matrix - a project which brings together some of the world’s leading hedge fund and financial markets bodies - to launch a user-friendly website that offers the first step towards harmonisation between existing sound practice guidelines.
The Alternative Investment Management Association, the Hedge Fund Standards Board, the International Organization of Securities Commissions, the Managed Funds Association and the Asset Managers’ Committee of the US President’s Working Group on Financial Markets have brought together their respective works on hedge fund sound practices for the benefit of the industry and other users.
Many of the core principles in existing sound practice guidelines are similar
and now, using the Hedge Fund Matrix, users will be able to compare the various
guidelines, side-by-side.
The Matrix includes information on: creating and managing a hedge fund management
business; the investment process and portfolio risk management; portfolio administration
and operational controls; raising capital and investor relations; and hedge
fund structure and organisation.
Freely available to all, the Hedge Fund Matrix provides relevant and insightful information for hedge fund practitioners, investors and the regulatory community, and to all those servicing and providing professional advice to the hedge fund industry.
The Hedge Fund Matrix is located at www.hedgefundmatrix.com.
As the representative global hedge fund association, AIMA, the Alternative Investment Management Association, has 1,280 corporate members worldwide, based in 47 countries.
The Hedge Fund Standards Board has been set up to establish and maintain a set of voluntary best practice standards for hedge fund managers.
The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) is the international policy forum for securities markets regulators. It is made up of securities regulators from over 100 jurisdictions, representing over 90% of the world's securities markets, and a large number of associate and affiliate members with an interest in the regulation and operation of global securities markets such as self-regulatory organizations, exchanges and trade associations.
The Managed Funds Association (MFA) is the voice of the global alternative
investment industry. Its members are professionals in hedge funds, funds of
funds and managed futures funds, as well as industry service providers. Established
in 1991, MFA is the primary source of information for policy makers and the
media and the leading advocate for sound business practices and industry growth.
The President's Working Group on Financial Markets' Asset Managers’ Committee
is comprised of representatives from a broad array of asset managers. Its purpose
is to facilitate an exchange of information between the alternative asset management
community and the agencies comprising the President’s Working Group on
Financial Markets.
The hedge fund industry is global in scope, but most hedge funds are registered or administered in offshore or low-tax locations, including particularly the Cayman Islands, Luxembourg and Ireland.
