Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican, said on Wednesday he plans to hold a hearing May 16th on the role that    lightly regulated hedge funds play in the U.S. financial markets. Hagel is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s securities and investment subcommittee.  <\/p>\n<p>    \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cThat\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s an area we haven\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t paid enough attention to,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d he said in an interview with Reuters. He did not specify if he believed further regulation of hedge funds by the U.S. Securities and Exchange    Commission was necessary. Earlier this year, the <span class=\"caps\">SEC<\/span> began requiring hedge funds, which have typically released little information about their investment strategies, to    register basic information with the agency.  <\/p>\n<p>    The industry assets of the hedge fund market have doubled to more than $1 trillion in the past five years, and are expected to double again in the next two to four years, according to analysts.
