TY - UNPD A1 - Steck, Kai-Uwe T1 - Legal aspects of german hedge fund structures T2 - Working paper series / Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität, Institute for Law and Finance ; 12 N2 - Increasingly, alternative investments via hedge funds are gaining importance in Germany. Just recently, this subject was taken up in the legal literature, too; this resulted in a higher product transparency. However, German investment law and, particularly, the special division "hedge funds" is still a field dominated by practitioners. First, the present situation shall be outlined. In addition, a description of the current development is given, in which the practical knowledge of the author is included. Finally, the hedge fund regulation intended by the legislator at the beginning of the year 2004 is legally evaluated against this background.
