Reducing Insider Trading Risk at Hedge Fund Advisers

By Harvard Law School Program on Corporate Governance

Editor?s Note: This post come to us from Andrew Vollmer, a partner in the Securities Litigation and Enforcement Group of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP. Mr. Vollmer was Deputy General Counsel of the Securities and Exchange Commission from 2006 until early 2009.

My recent article on ?How hedge fund advisers can reduce insider trading risk,? in the Journal of Securities Law, Regulation & Compliance, Vol. 3, No. 2 (2010), discusses some of the approaches that hedge fund managers use to prevent insider trading violations. They include avoiding agreements to keep information confidential and giving heightened attention to business communications between hedge fund personnel and close family members or personal friends. The article also describes the many legitimate reasons that analysts at money managers have to communicate in private with senior management of public companies and ways hedge fund advisers can police the insider trading risks associated with those communications.
