On July 27, the Financial Services Authority produced its latest biannual report Assessing Possible Sources of Systemic Risk from Hedge Funds. This report sets out the results of the FSA’s two regular hedge fund surveys – the Hedge Funds As Counterparties Survey (HFACS) and the Hedge Funds Survey (HFS). These were conducted in March and April 2011. The FSA conducts these surveys every six months to assist it in understanding potential sources of systemic risk in the hedge fund sector. (See Corporate and Financial Weekly Digests of March 4, 2011, and August 13, 2010, for articles on previous HFS and HFACS.)
