Julie M. Riewe, a partner at Debevoise & Plimpton and the former Co-Chief of the Asset Management Unit of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, spoke with the Hedge Fund Law Report about the SEC’s recent enforcement efforts. The discussion centered on the SEC’s focus on conflicts of interest, including its targeting of horizontal allocations between funds and use of analytics to identify the improper cherry-picking of trade allocations. Riewe also explained the SEC’s decision to increase its personnel dedicated to uncovering violations of private fund managers. Riewe will be speaking at the Tenth Annual Hedge Fund General Counsel and Compliance Officer Summit, hosted by Corporate Counsel and ALM, in New York City on September 28-29.
