HFA and Intelysis join hands to educate Hedhe Fund Investors

The Hedge Fund Association (HFA) recently tied up with Intelysis Corp in order to provide customized in-depth background checks on hedge fund managers to it members. HFA, which is a not-for-profit association of hedge fund managers, service providers, and investors aims to increase the overall awareness about hedge funds which is lacking currently. The tie-up with Intelysis will provide the members of HFA with the much needed information about the hedge funds and their managers. Intelysis is a well known international fraud investigation firm. It specializes in corporate investigations, computer forensics and providing de-masking fraud auditing services. The firm’s services are employed by a variety of commercial businesses, governmental bodies, hedge fund of funds, venture capitalists and law firms. The tie up will further the cause of increased transparency of hedge funds and help the investors to become more informed. This education will enable the investors to differentiate between the right and competent hedge funds from the others and thereby help to reduce incidences of frauds. Investorsoffshore.com reports:

“The Hedge Fund Association is an international not-for-profit association of hedge fund managers, service providers, and investors which was formed, in part, to raise the awareness of the advantages and opportunities in hedge funds.”
