Abstract: Hedge fund regulation in the U.K. may be viewed as three distinct issues: (1) Systemic risk issues, following the near-collapse of LTCM; (2) The regulation of hedge fund managers – many managers are established in the U.K.; and (3) Retail marketing. The position is complicated by the fact that the term 'hedge fund' is undefined and the funds themselves are not established in the U.K.
