Hedge Funds

Hedge Funds Second edition provides a user-friendly, concise yet comprehensive guide to the core law of hedge funds. Armed with a strong practical focus, the book covers both domestic and international aspects in one handy volume. With regulators now increasingly minutely scrutinising hedge funds, the law and practice of hedge funds is evolving very differently post-credit crunch. Topics covered include how to set up a hedge fund, the core law (FSA, FSMA, CIS regime), jurisdiction and choice of vehicle, a comparative assessment of different offshore jurisdictions, commentary on the US position (from a UK practitioner's perspective), tax aspects, trading strategies, market abuse and the investor perspective.
