From West Palm Beach, a Hedgeco.Net story I was working on;

Bharat Book Bureau has released a report called "Hedge Funds and Prime Brokers", the report explores the ever-changing and dynamic hedge fund-prime broker relationship through the use of a panel comprising of some of the world's experts in investment, law and regulation.

According to the Bharat announcement, "Hedge Funds and Prime Brokers" examines how "unregulated hedge funds" are actually regulated already and why more "regulation" may not be required, it also explains just how these prime brokers are regulated in their hedge fund activities, as well as the trading and economic factors that drive the relationship.

The report also looks at the changing relationship between prime brokers and hedge funds, the relationship they have with hedge fund service providers, such as administrators, risk managers, directors, investors and regulators. The legal, regulatory and jurisdictional issues that affect the prime broker-hedge fund relationship, emphasising relevant laws, listing and continuing obligation standards and agreements.
