Abstract

A common perception is that, as investors in hedge funds are afforded a lesser level of legal and regulatory protections than investors in regulated products, there is a deficiency in the degree of transparency and disclosure afforded to them. This paper examines from a largely UK perspective whether that is, in practice, the case.
