KTC Capital Anticipates Approval of EU Hedge Fund Rules

May 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Spearheaded by the finance ministers of the continental member states, this legislation has been challenged by the larger hedge fund players, mostly located in the UK.  As a long-time industry member located in London, KTC Capital has and will continue to lobby for concessions allowing European investors continued access to investment options around the globe.  

“Without these concessions, European Investors will have less choice and thus less opportunity to find the best fit for their portfolio strategy.” Said William Greenberg, Senior Account Executive for KTC.  “We specialize in scouring the world for the best risk/return ratios for our clients.  Restricting choice on a wholesale level would clearly put the European investor at a disadvantage versus their North American and Asian counterparts.”

Although the approval is expected Tuesday, it will be followed by many months of debate before the legal language will be finalized.
