In a HedgeCo story today, SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins recommended that European and US regulators should learn from each other's approach to regulating hedge funds, particularly as the hedge fund industry became more international. Atkins said he also expects hedge funds to help solve the market turmoil surrounding sub-prime US mortgage loans.

The Comissioner resisted the agency's efforts to become involved with hedge funds since he joined the SEC as a commissioner in 2002, the Republican has also questioned the agency's practice of not allowing hedge funds to market themselves to the general public.
