Alternative asset managers, including hedge fund managers, as vital market participants, are often misunderstood by the press, the government, and the public-at-large. In light of the DC Court of Appeals decision overturning the SEC’s rule requiring registration of most hedge fund managers, the recent pension reform legislation, and the tremendous growth and increased visibility of the industry, hedge fund managers are under heightened scrutiny in the United States and abroad. This scrutiny necessitates focused advocacy, consistent messages, and shared experiences for the industry.
