PWG - Best Practices for Hedge Funds


The President's Working Group final best practices for the asset managers call on hedge funds to adopt comprehensive best practices in all aspects of their business.

The President's Working Group private-sector committees released their finalized sets of best practices for asset managers and hedge fund investors in an effort to increase accountability for participants in this industry.

 

The final best practices for the asset managers call on hedge funds to adopt comprehensive best practices in all aspects of their business, including the critical areas of disclosure, valuation of assets, risk management, business operations, compliance and conflicts of interest.

 

The best practices include a Fiduciary's Guide, which provides recommendations to individuals charged with evaluating the appropriateness of hedge funds as a component of an investment portfolio, and an Investor's Guide, which provides recommendations to those charged with executing and administering a hedge fund program if one is added to the investment portfolio.
