Abstract

Interest in hedge fund regulation ebbed and flowed prior to the Canary Capital Partners hedge fund scandal. Regulators had concerns about the potential for fraud, conflicts of interest, and the marketing of hedge funds to unsuitable investors, but specific issues were not identified because of limited hedge fund oversight and tight U.S. SEC resources.
