Every claim under this term

• 2150377-012 2012 empirical: This Article reports the first survey study of hedge fund advisers conducted after the SEC's registration effective date, drawing on a population of 1267 private fund advisers who registered before Ma
• 2150377-013 2012 failure: The hedge fund industry's concern with confidentiality and privacy is itself an obstacle to empirical research: it made obtaining a substantial effective sample size for this study difficult, independ
• 2150377-014 2012 empirical: Persistent multi-channel follow-up, by fax, e-mail, and telephone, yielded ninety-four completed surveys, a 7.42% response rate from a population of 1267, which is substantially higher than response r
• 2150377-015 2012 failure: Mandated disclosure does not automatically produce usable public data: although Form ADV requires advisers to disclose chief compliance officer contact information, the SEC dataset omitted it and cont
• 2150377-016 2012 failure: The standard remedies for selection bias are not reliably corrective: simulation studies show that many techniques used to prevent selection bias problems have mixed success rates, can worsen rather t
• 2150377-017 2012 design: A treatment and control design is unavailable for studying registration effects, because managers who did not have to register have no exposure to the treatment and therefore cannot generate informati
• 2150377-019 2012 empirical: Comparison of the responding sample against the full registered population on Form ADV parameters shows the sample is not biased toward any particular subgroup of hedge fund advisers, and gives no ind
• 2150377-035 2012 failure: Prior surveys of hedge fund manager expectations left the central questions unanswered because they were fielded before the registration effective date and used substantially smaller samples, so they
• 2150377-041 2012 condition: The study's findings are bounded in time: because the data was collected within three months of the registration effective date, the study shows trends and perceptions but does not provide insights on
• 2389423-022 2014 failure: Selection bias is a valid concern in this study because of the lower sample sizes available for Models 1 through 5.
• 2447306-006 2014 mechanism: High quality private fund data is scarce because the industry's entrenched interest in confidentiality combined with decades of regulatory exemption from registration and transparency requirements lef
• 2447306-007 2014 failure: Enlarging the sample does not cure selection bias in non-statistical sampling: a bigger sample neither compensates for the bias of non-statistical techniques nor guarantees that the sample is represen
• 2447306-010 2014 empirical: Despite contacting the entire population of 3669 SEC-registered private fund advisers by fax and e-mail over more than five months, the study obtained only 52 respondents, a response rate of 0.014 per
• 2732915-005 2016 empirical: The survey achieved a response rate of 5.44 percent from a population of 1267 registered private fund advisers.
• 2732915-006 2016 mechanism: Because private fund advisers prefer confidentiality and generally oppose publicity, most do not respond to survey questions, which makes obtaining a substantial effective sample size for survey studi
• 2732915-007 2016 condition: Guaranteeing complete anonymity is essential to obtaining a sufficient response rate from private fund advisers, but that guarantee prevents a broader descriptive statistical analysis of the sample.
• 2739479-017 2016 failure: Survey research on private fund advisers is structurally constrained because these advisers traditionally oppose publicity and hold a strong preference for confidentiality and privacy, which makes a s
• 2739479-018 2016 condition: Neither the 2012 nor the 2015 sample is biased, and the comparison across the two populations is consistent because respondents in both surveys were equally subject to Title IV compliance obligations.
• 2739479-019 2016 mechanism: The decline in survey response rate between 2012 and 2015 is itself evidence of the private fund industry's relatively rapid adaptation to the new statutory and regulatory regime.
