We are a hedge fund of funds and we get detailed portfolio information, including position level transparency from some, at least monthly from all of our underlying funds. That information should not be available to the general public, only to investors and, generally, to qualified investors. Regulators also already have access to this data as while many funds are not regulated, all of their market activities are. If a fund will not freely provide enough information to investors to understand and feel comfortable about what they are invested in, DON'T INVEST.

Keep hedge funds available only to sophistcated investors who have the resources to make investment decisions - based on increased transparency from the managers. Now that everyone is more aware of both sides of the balance sheet both parties can discuss liquidity matching. Notice that private equity funds aren't struggling as much.

Transparency, Strict regulations are some of the things which we should act on to see the hedge fund industry cross this hurdle.
