Licenses Required for Portfolio/Hedge Fund Manager

I have been hearing that a series 7 is not required to be a PM or HF Manager. It just brings unnecessary regulation. A series 65 is all that is required. If this true?

If I wanted to manage money from clients of my own. I would legally need only a series 65 correct?

Thanks,

Nick
