IOSCO Publish Updated Systemic Risk Data Requirements for Hedge Funds

The Technical Committee of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) has published an updated list of categories of data for the global collection of hedge fund information which it believes will assist in assessing possible systemic risks arising from the sector. The revised list reflects the minimum that the Task Force on Unregulated Financial Entities (Task Force) will collect for the next IOSCO hedge fund survey. The list is not a comprehensive list and regulators are not restricted from requesting additional information at a domestic level, based on their legislative and/or regulatory requirements.
