ACA Compliance Group (ACA) recently completed its 2016 Alternative Fund Manager Compliance Survey, covering a number of top-of-mind issues facing the managers of hedge funds and more illiquid private funds. The survey’s findings were described in a recent webinar by ACA’s Danielle Joseph, a senior principal consultant, and Brian Lattanzio, a senior compliance analyst and private equity associate.

The second article will summarize the survey’s findings and speakers’ insights concerning custody; fees; safeguarding assets; and personal trading.
