State Issues

In addition to working on federal and international issues, MFA is involved in a number of state-specific initiatives. Although the hedge fund industry is primarily regulated at the federal level, states retain limited authority with respect to the industry. From time to time state legislatures, attorneys general and regulatory agencies propose legislation or regulation, respectively. MFA actively and strategically represents the industry in responding to state initiatives that would adversely affect the ability of alternative investment advisers to conduct business in, or sell alternative investments to sophisticated investors located in, a state. MFA expects that state legislative and regulatory activity is likely to increase in the coming years, and the Association will continue to actively represent the industry at the state level.
