Hedge Fund Executives Want Changes in Rules

For years, the US securities regulations have restricted the hedge fund industry from defending itself adequately against a bad public image. Now Hedge fund managers have started talking against the legislations and demanded changes to the existing standard and rules. According to them, the rule prevents them from educating the public about the benefits of hedge funds in the financial market. The benefits include increased market liquidity, better pricing of liquid securities and general market efficiency. Reuters has published an article on the Same Topic.
