**Affirmed position.** The Role of Hedge Funds in fostering Regulatory Innovations-A Systematic Literature Review should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The finding that Dodd-Frank Act registration does not depress hedge fund returns is consistent with prior evidence that higher administrative costs are only a second-order effect of the regulation. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through hedge fund regulation, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.
