Hedge fund compliance is a growing topic these days and we've stumbled upon an interesting informational podcast for those interested. Kelly Moll, a partner at Schulte, Roth and Zabel, specializes in advising on registration and compliance issues. She has teamed up with IntraLinks to create a podcast series on the subject. Their first installment just became available and we've embedded the transcript below. The first episode is entitled, "What you need to know about U.S. and EU proposed legislation: New regulation requirements and assessing systemic risk."

The podcast below helps to breakdown the proposed regulations and how a hedge fund firm can prepare for these possible new requirements.
