Madrid, 15 April 2020
The Board of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) today published its Report on the Fifth IOSCO Hedge Fund Survey, which provides regulators new insights into the global hedge fund industry and the potential systemic risks this industry may pose to the international financial system.
IOSCO´s biennial survey has become an important resource for regulators to help address gaps with regard to public and global data on hedge fund activities. The survey facilitates the systematic collection and analysis of hedge fund data, enabling regulators to share information and observe trends regarding trading activities, leverage, liquidity management and funding in the global hedge fund sector.
The report explains the results of the fifth IOSCO survey and provides an overview of the hedge fund industry based on data as of 30th September 2018. Since the first survey was conducted in 2010, data collection has expanded due to enhanced regulatory reporting regimes in some jurisdictions.
