Hedge Fund Question?

In the USA, I read on the Securities Exchange Commission Website ( SEC) that Hedge Funds do not have to register with the SEC.
Are there any companies that offer a list of hedge funds for free? The reason I'm asking, is that I broker Commercial Loans. Typically, when I approach a hedge fund for financing on commercial real estate financing, I wind-up having to call other Loan brokers to get the names of the Hedge funds that they have gone to, and of course, I wind-up having to pay those brokers and sign non-disclosures just to get the name of the hedge fund that they used. I sick of dealing with other loan brokers, How can I get a list of Hedge Funds that I can apply to without having to go through other loan brokers?

SEC doesnt manage hedge funds or their employees. You are looking for the NFA. They have to be licensed through them. You are looking up the wrong license. Its a 3 not a 6 or 7. Thats normally where hedge funds trade. You can look them up here.
