Current rules suitable for private equity says OECD

05 Jun 2007

The OECD has rejected calls for it to draw up a separate governance framework for private equity firms and hedge funds, arguing that the current rules are appropriate to both groups.

The international body had set up a steering group to examine the governance of private equity and hedge funds following widespread concerns that these industries lacked transparency, created conflicts of interest and placed the the efficiency of public markets at risk.

'We will compare all the voluntary standards that are already out there and look for ways to develop a dialogue with representatives from the industry about key corporate governance issues,' said Marcello Bianchi, chairman of the steering group.
