77. The SEC still thinks hedge funds are dealers. What happens next?
The biggest event of the year so far for hedge funds was the US SEC's recent finalisation of its new definition of a securities dealer. After a year of waiting, the final text is now available, confirming that private funds would be in scope, throwing our industry into uncharted territory by undermining the century-old understanding that hedge funds were customers of dealers, not dealers themselves. So, what exactly does this mean for the industry? Where do we go next? Joining us to answer these questions and unpack this seismic shift in the definition of a dealer is AIMA's Head of US Markets Policy and Regulation, Daniel Austin. Daniel joins us from AIMA's Washington office to break down the US SEC's final rule text, its implications for hedge funds, and what comes next. Hosted on Acast.
