“In the current climate it is essential that the hedge fund industry demonstrates to regulators and policymakers that it is adhering to the highest standards by ensuring there are safeguards in place that would make a Madoff-type scandal very unlikely.

“The HFSB standards provide comfort to investors and we are grateful for the encouragement we have had from the Financial Stability Forum and the Financial Services Authority for the HFSB approach.”
