IOSCO Hedge Fund Oversight Consultation Report
The Exchange has responded to IOSCO's consultation report examining regulatory approaches to hedge funds. In our response, we acknowledge the need to examine vulnerabilities in the global financial system, but stress the need to avoid inappropriate or excessive regulation where there is little evidence of market failure. We suggest that in line with the G20 requirements, any analysis should focus on issues of systemic importance as the priority. Finally, we note that London is the second largest global centre for hedge fund managers and as such the development of industry best practices should take particular note of the views of the major trade bodies located here as well as the Financial Services Authority.
