Since the LTCM crisis; hedge fund industry has grown impressively, attracted many investors due to the high rate of returns and has begun to act as financial market leaders which also in return increased the concerns. The problems that hedge funds are able to cause, were seen during this crisis and proved that the benefits of hedge funds can easily be reversed and cause a financial disaster. This ability of hedge funds took the attention of regulatory authorities.
