Federal watchdogs seeking to increase regulations of hedge funds suffered a recent setback when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia called the Securities and Exchange Commission's advisor registration rule "arbitrary," sending it back to the SEC for further review.

certain recordkeeping practices.
