Rethinking Hedge Fund Regulation

Based on observations of the hedge fund regimes in the U.S. the U.K. and Korea this book concludes that the current regimes have succumbed to the pressure to overregulate: It would be prudent for future regulatory efforts to focus on making the hedge fund market accessible to only accredited investors and the role of a visible regulatory hand in this market should be refrained from to the extent necessary to promote market competition and financial innovation while mitigating potential systemic risk from hedge fund failures.
