Impact of European hedge fund regulation in the US

In the article entitled, "Europe's Hedge Fund Regulation Efforts Have US Implications", Jason Scharfman, Corgentum Managing Partner, discusses the potential consequences of European hedge fund regulation in the US with the Wall Street Journal. Mr. Scharfman outlines that new regulations are actually "going to hurt a lot of pension funds and other large hedge fund investors because it will be giving them a false sense of security."


He further goes on to clarify that "hedge funds aren't trying to avoid tough regulation so they can commit fraud. Rather, they are trying to avoid the bureaucratic red tape that can cost managers lots of time and money, and ultimately dent investors' returns."
