Ken Griffin Urges SEC to Prioritize Banks Over Hedge Funds in Basis Trade Risk

Ken Griffin, the CEO of Citadel, has warned against implementing stricter regulations on hedge funds to curb basis trade risk. Griffin argues that hedge funds play a crucial role in providing liquidity and stability to the financial markets, and excessive regulation could hinder their ability to perform these functions effectively. He suggests that instead of imposing clampdowns, regulators should focus on enhancing transparency and risk management practices within the industry.
