Deutsche Bank’s Hedge Fund Consulting group (Deutsche Bank) recently conducted a survey of 44 U.S. and European hedge fund managers with approximately $325 billion in aggregate assets under management.  Deutsche Bank asked the managers questions relating to whether and how their costs and infrastructure changed as a result of new regulatory requirements, as well as questions relating to their plans to market their funds into the European Union (EU) in light of the recent rollout of the EU Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD).  See “Application of the AIFMD to Non-EU Alternative Investment Fund Managers (Part Two of Two),” Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 6, No. 24 (Jun. 13, 2013).  This article summarizes key takeaways from the survey.
