2. As you can see. In the URL bar. The website is a .gov website

3. To obtain this site I used the search term. “Hedge
fund” and “SEC”. These two things automatically
brought me to a relevant site I can use for my paper
as evidence of the discrepencies potential users of
private equity firms may find.

4. I used to no limiters or options applied to searches. I knew that the
SEC commonly publishes news and updates about the current
happenings of all things finance. Coupling their title with something
related to my paper was bound to bring up something relevant.
My understanding and concept of the information provided by this
website is good. I understand the role of the is government
entity, which is “…to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and
efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation.”
For my paper I will be discussing the potential problems
relating to this field of finance. And the SEC publishes quarterly, many
situations where this field is having trouble and keeps the public
updated on what to look out for with the pitfalls of private equity.
