Abstract: Due to the expansive growth of the hedge fund industry and the accompanying political discussions about creating a legal framework for this practically nonregulated asset class, the Banking Supervision Committee of the European System of Central Banks decided to conduct an EU-wide survey on banks’ hedge fund exposure. This paper presents the survey results for Austria and takes a critical look at possible measures for regulating the hedge fund industry.
