Investors embrace voluntary hedge fund standards

Push will be to encourage more signatories and improve fund governance

The Hedge Fund Standards Board, a global body representing hedge fund best practices, has unveiled a new plan to strengthen the role and influence of investors in its process of setting guidelines and standards.

The new investor members, which together invest about $180bn in hedge funds, will provide input into the standards and help widen the adoption of the standards among managers internationally.
