Abstract

Most hedge funds, even those domiciled offshore, operate in developed financial markets and utilize the infrastructure of large financial centers to implement their investment strategies. This section describes in greater detail the regulation of hedge funds in the United States and the United Kingdom. The frameworks in these two countries should be seen as examples of rules and surveillance procedures, which are evolving to be sure, but which to date have allowed the operation of hedge funds and other collective investment vehicles while maintaining the integrity of markets.
