| Title | Regulation of US Hedge funds before and after the Dodd-Frank Act |
| Summary | The purpose of this thesis is to made a comprehensive study of hedge funds regulation before and after the Dodd-Frank Act and to primarily focus on the issue of, whether the increase in hedge funds regulation was a necessary fact and whether the DFA would be a right way, if the increase would be needed. The thesis starts with a general overview of the hedge fund industry to provide the reader with necessary information for the further Chapters. It then summarizes the pre-DFA regulatory framework and it continues by elaborating on the role of hedge funds in the 2008 Credit crunch and the subsequent debate over the increase in their regulation. It concludes with a Chapter dedicated to the changes in hedge fund regulation after the DFA and their prospective impact on the hedge fund industry. The thesis argues that even if we would agree that some adjustments in the hedge funds regulatory framework were necessary, the DFA pushed it over the edge hitting the wrong targets and leaving the most problematic parts of the hedge funds industry untouched. |
