About the Hedge Fund State Regulation Guide

Regulation of investment companies and hedge funds are not handled by state securities laws, however states may indirectly regulate the funds through regulating the sale of interests in hedge funds.

If a hedge fund chooses not to register with the SEC they may be exempt from state regulatory requirements.
