    Hedge fund

    Legally, hedge funds are most often setup as private investment partnershipsthat are open to a limited number of

    investors and require a verylarge initial minimuminvestment. Investments in hedge fundsare illiquid as they often require

    investors keep their money in the fundfor at least one year.

    Hedge fund

    For the most part, hedge funds (unlike mutualfunds) are unregulated because they cater tosophisticated investors.

    In the U.S., laws require that the majority of

    investors in the fund be accredited. That is, they must earn a minimum amount of

    money annually and have a net worth of morethan $1 million, along with a significantamount of investment knowledge. You canthink of hedge funds as mutual funds for thesuper rich. They are similar to mutual funds inthat investments are pooled and professionallymanaged, but differ in that the fund has far

    more flexibility in its investment strategies.

    Hedge fund

    It is important to note that hedging isactually the practice of attempting toreduce risk, but the goal of most hedgefunds is to maximize return on investment.

    The name is mostly historical, as the firsthedge funds tried to hedge against thedownside risk of a bear market by shortingthe market (mutual funds generally can'tenter into short positions as one of their

    primary goals). Nowadays, hedge funds use dozens ofdifferent strategies, so it isn't accurate tosay that hedge funds just "hedge risk". Infact, because hedge fund managers make

    speculative investments, these funds cancarr more risk than the overall market.

    Performance of many hedge fund strategies,particularly relative value strategies, is notdependent on the direction of the bond or equitymarkets -- unlike conventional equity or mutual funds(unit trusts), which are generally 100% exposed tomarket risk.

    Hedge fund managers are generally highlyprofessional, disciplined and diligent.

    Their returns over a sustained period of time haveoutperformed standard equity and bond indexes withless volatility and less risk of loss than equities.

    Investing in hedge funds tends to be favored by moresophisticated investors, including many Swiss andother private banks, who have lived through, andunderstand the consequences of, major stock marketcorrections. Many endowments and pension fundsallocate assets to hedge funds.
