Hedgeco.net – The Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA), the leading global hedge fund and alternative investment industry association has welcomed the Financial Services Authority\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s (FSA) proposal to allow authorised onshore Funds of Alternative Investment Funds (FAIF\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s).<\/p>\n

AIMA strongly believes that retail investors should be in a position to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by alternative investments – provided investor protection provisions are adequate.<\/p>\n

AIMA also believes that the FSA\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s high-level approach – concentrating on appropriate due diligence by the FAIF manager as the most effective form of consumer protection – is the correct and sensible one.<\/p>\n

Matthew Jones, Manager in AIMA\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s Regulation Department, said: \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cIt is important to remember that the FAIF concept will not take off unless and until the underlying tax regime is resolved appropriately.<\/p>\n

We feel that the FSA understands this and is working with HMT on this issue. AIMA supports the FSA\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s work and will continue to do so as the post-consultation process proceeds.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d<\/p>\n
