It seems to affect merely a subset of the hedge fund industry. Wulf A. Kaal, Barbara Luppi, Sandra Paterlini, Did the Dodd-Frank Act Impact Hedge Fund Performance (2014).

SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=2447306 - [2447306-040](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2447306-040) [empirical/argued] -- On the cost evidence collected here for both smaller and larger advisers, the industry's long standing objection that mandatory registration and disclosure would inappropriately burden investment advisers is mostly unfounded. > the industry's concerns that mandatory private fund adviser registration and disclosure requirements could inappropriately burden investment advisers59 seem to be mostly unfounded.
