# Transparency of institutional investors

European Parliament procedure 2007/2239(INI) (INI - Own-initiative procedure, 6th term, committee ECON / JURI). Stage: Procedure completed. 107 committee amendments tabled by 9 Members between 2008-04-15 and 2008-05-08.

## What the amendments focus on

This own-initiative report concerns the transparency of institutional investors. The amendments rework recitals on hedge funds and private equity funds — their diversification benefits and innovative strategies, the risk of regulatory fragmentation and arbitrage from divergent national rules in the internal market, and the need for greater transparency towards prime brokers, institutional and retail investors — while debating whether directives or industry self-regulation are the appropriate instrument.
