I am opposed to the proposed rule requiring hedge fund managers to register with the SEC. I believe that it would be more productive for the SEC to focus its efforts on the oversight of mutual funds, which affect the savings of a much broader segment of our society than the privileged few who are wealthy enough to invest with hedge funds.
