B bootize Jun 27, 2007 #1 Hi Folks, If a hedge fund is a US based fund (not an offshore based fund)... are they allowed to trade: 1.) Markets in foreign futures? 2.) Foreign stocks in foreign exchanges? I can't seem to find a definitive answer on my own. Thanks!

T trader42 Jun 27, 2007 #2 Certainly (assuming that their brokers make those markets available and SEC is not restricting trading at those markets for US entities). See the various markets offered by IB: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/products.php?ib_entity=llc Some markets are restricted by the SEC like Korean options (??) http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/cf-noaction/2007/koreaexchange111706-reg-s-incoming.pdf
