    Posted By Richard Heller, May 23rd, 2008 : Permalink

    Overview of “A Summary of Sound Practices for Hedge Fund Managers” which appeared in the Winter 2007-2008 issue of Financial Bridges magazine. View the entire article via the PDF.

    Overview
    The Managed Funds Association – a leading trade group for the hedge fund industry – recently released the fourth version of its highly regarded Sound Practices for Hedge Fund Managers (“Sound Practices”) manual. Since its first publication in 1999, this manual has been considered a cookbook or roadmap for prudent business and investment practices for hedge fund managers. The Managed Funds Association (“MFA”) publishes this manual, in part, to help fulfill its on-going self-described mission: to protect, assist and educate members, policy makers and the investing public.

    The manual provides guidance to hedge fund managers by highlighting key components of sound practice in various areas, providing detailed practice suggestions in a series of appendices and by providing further reference to expert sources or additional highly detailed practice resources.

    SEC Proposes Revisions to Regulation S-P and Expansion of Customer Privacy Requirements

    Posted By Richard Heller, May 23rd, 2008 : Permalink

    On March 4, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced proposed changes to Regulation S-P (“Reg S-P”), the regulation governing the privacy and protection of customer information. A copy of the proposing release is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov/rules/proposed.shtml.

    If adopted as proposed, the changes, designed to enhance the protection of customers’ nonpublic personal information, will undoubtedly cause firms in the securities industry to add additional infrastructure to comply with the new regulations . Additionally, the proposed changes to Reg S-P permit employees of securities firms to maintain certain limited customer information when switching between securities firms. The comment period on the proposed regulations runs through May 12, 2008.

    Full overview and summary of proposed changes availabled via http://www.thompsonhine.com/publications/publication1402.html.
