SEC Regulation SHO (Reg SHO) is a set of rules implemented by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to regulate short selling and prevent abusive practices in the stock market. Hedge funds , like other market participants, are subject to Regulation SHO when engaging in short selling activities.

Hedge funds may become culpable under Regulation SHO if they engage in illegal or manipulative short selling practices, such as naked short selling (selling shares short without borrowing them or ensuring they can be borrowed) or engaging in fraudulent activities to manipulate stock prices.

Regulation SHO applies to all market participants involved in short selling, including hedge funds, broker-dealers, and institutional investors. Violations of Regulation SHO can result in enforcement actions by the SEC, including fines, penalties, and restrictions on trading activities.

It's essential for hedge funds and other market participants to adhere to Regulation SHO guidelines to maintain market integrity and protect investors from abusive practices.
