UK regulatory change highlighted as concern in survey
UK-focused regulatory change is of more concern to the hedge fund industry than the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), according to a survey on regulation released today.
Compliance consultant the IMS Group polled 225 individuals, including hedge fund managers, prime brokers and other industry participants, with a third naming UK changes - including the reorganisation of UK watchdog the FSA - and 23% the AIFMD as their biggest concern.
Fatca, SEC registration and MiFID II each polled less than 10%.
However, the AIFMD was thought to be the most uncertain in outcome, with 31% placing it ahead of the alternatives.
The FSA published its discussion paper on the introduction of AIFMD today, with more formal guidance expected later in the year.
