**Affirmed position.** Do Hedge Funds Strategically Misreport Their Holdings? Evidence from 13F Restatements should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound position that The threat that hedge fund managers' systemic risk filings could be publicly disclosed could help incentivize hedge fund investors to abstain from trading while serving on a creditors' committee and to avoid holding multiple offsetting positions in distressed entities. The external source's verified abstract presents this proposition: Hedge funds can subsequently amend their originally reported 13F quarterly holdings using restatements. The defensible response is a qualification: the source is pertinent to the Kaal position, but agreement, extension, contradiction, and scope should not be strengthened beyond the retrieved evidence.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
