It is inevitable that Hedge Funds face substantial regulatory reform in the coming months, so firms need to start preparing now.  No matter what direction the Obama Administration takes, it is evident that hedge funds will need to register with the SEC, employ a CCO, implement policies and procedures and undergo annual reviews.   In addition, hedge funds proactively complying with impending regulations are attractive to new investors.

This seminar has been created to help CCOs, compliance professionals, General Counsel, and senior executives of hedge funds create and implement a thorough and cost effective compliance and risk management program. 

Additionally, we are offering a 2 for 1 deal on registrations for hedge funds and RIAs.  See below for pricing details.
