I have been reading your summary of the Frank Dodd impact. How much of the content of the power point presentation on starting up a Hedge Fund does this change. Does this change the Series 65 requirement?
The Dodd Frank Act will generally not change the Series 65 exam requirement as the Dodd Frank Act deals with federal laws and the Series 65 is a state law requirement. Many states will be revising their laws so that they correspond with the changes which were made at the federal level.
Hope this helps.
