Regulator to Cut Down Hedge Fund Secrecy Hedge funds will have to provide international regulators with detailed information about their trading positions in a move that will lift the lid on the workings of the opaque sector. By Louise Armitstead for Telegraph.co.uk, February 26, 2010 The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) published a template for supervisors listing 11 types of data that hedge funds will be required to provide from September.

Conjoncture : La guéguerre des agences de notation Standard & Poor's menace de revoir à la baisse la note de sa concurrente Moody's. Cette dernière peut difficilement répliquer à l'encontre du numéro un du secteur. Est-ce une déclaration de guerre? Une attaque sournoise à l'encontre d'un concurrent déjà critiqué de toutes parts? L'agence de notation Standard & Poor's a annoncé en milieu de semaine qu'elle plaçait la note de sa concurrente Moody's sous surveillance avec perspective négative. Standard & Poor's prédit un tremblement de terre dans la notation aux Etats-Unis. Moody's pourrait également faire face à une baisse de son chiffre d'affaires, avance sa concurrente.

Elle a publié pour la première fois les notes qu’elle attribue aux emprunts émis en monnaie locale ou en devises par cinquante pays représentant environ 90% de l’économie mondiale. La nouvelle a été reprise par toute la presse internationale dans les jours qui ont suivi et, depuis un mois, c’est de nouveau le silence. Un cercle jusque-là fermé «L’oligopole» des trois grandes agences en place, pour reprendre une expression de Jean-Claude Trichet, le président de la Banque centrale européenne, va-t-il être battu en brèche? publicité Quelles différences?
