Side Pockets - From Minyanville

A story in the Wall Street Journal this morning takes a look at what are called "side pocket" accounts. Apparently, some hedge-fund firms are setting up separate accounts to hold certain harder-to-value investments and regulators and investors are becoming concerned about whether these accounts, known as "side pockets," are perhaps being used by some funds to overstate performance.

According to the Journal, some are placing as much as 25% of their investments in these side accounts.

The problem is that an accurate value for these investments sometimes can be derived only when they are disposed of, so hedge funds are sometimes slower to put up-to-date valuations on the accounts.
