AIMA reports that they consulted with a broad range of hedge fund managers and institutional investors during the drafting of the new DDQ and their input was integral to the new revisions.<\/p>\n<p>AIMA\u2019s suite of due diligence questionnaires, launched in 1997, covers the selection of hedge fund managers, CTAs, fund of hedge funds managers, clearing members, prime brokers and administrators. They are available for AIMA members only and may not be transferred to any other party.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Editing by Alex Akesson<\/span><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"color: #743399;\" title=\"hedge funds\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\/\">HedgeCo.net<\/a><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><a style=\"color: #743399;\" href=\"mailto:alex@hedgeco.net\">alex@hedgeco.net<\/a><br style=\"color: #000000;\" \/><a style=\"color: #743399;\" title=\"hedge fund\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\/\">HedgeCo.Net<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0is a premier\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"color: #743399;\" title=\"hedge fund database\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\/\">hedge fund database<\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
