The Hedge Funds Standard Board has changed its name, distancing itself from the ‘hedge funds’ moniker, just three months after Financial News revealed it was debating the move.

The body, which works to boost standards of responsibility among members of the global hedge funds industry, will now be known as the Standards Board for Alternative Investments.
