Formation of Hedge Funds Attorney San Diego CA
Private Fund Offerings, Including Hedge Funds and Private Equity Funds
In recent years, hedge funds and private equity funds have garnered a significant amount of attention from investors. One result of this has been an increase in the formation and availability of hedge funds and private equity funds. A second result has been increased scrutiny from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other regulatory agencies, as well as an increase in the number of enforcement actions instigated against funds and fund managers.
