The Hedge Fund Fraud Casebook provides readers with complete knowledge on hedge fund regulation and 100 of the top fraud cases. Hedge fund investors do notreceive all of the federal and state law protections that commonly apply to most registered investments. Hedge funds typically issue securities in private offerings that are not registered with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, hedge funds are not required to make periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. But hedge funds are subject to the same prohibitions against fraud as are other market participants. Fraud cases are moreprevalent due to an increased ease in misrepresenting investors. The book compiles concrete data on cases of hedge fund fraud. Understanding the environment that leads to these cases provides readers with a factual foundation for assessing this difficult area of risk.
