Hedge Fund Compliance Professionals

Compliance professionals work in modern, well-lit offices and use the latest computers and office equipment to do their jobs. At large firms, a chief compliance officer (CCO) will be assisted by a staff of five to 10 or more people. At small firms, the CCO may be the only compliance professional. This job can be extremely stressful—especially as a result of growing federal scrutiny of the hedge fund industry. Despite the increased scrutiny, many compliance professionals love their jobs and enjoy the fast-paced world of hedge funds and the challenges of keeping their firms compliant with federal law.
