IMF calls for closer scrutiny of hedge funds' growing market footprint
Original: IMF says hedge funds' market footprint growing, merits closer scrutiny
The International Monetary Fund says hedge funds now play a larger role in financial markets and that their growing footprint warrants closer monitoring by regulators. The warning highlights concerns that leveraged hedge fund positions could amplify risks in government bond and derivatives markets, especially during periods of stress, and adds to calls for greater transparency in the sector.
Why now: Regulators and investors are increasingly worried about hidden leverage and systemic risk from hedge funds' expanding role in markets.
