A high risk mutual fund. Here's the catch. By law only open to under 100 investors. Usually have a min opening balance of $1 Million. The manager will invest in things like 'Latin America Textiles' or 'Russian Futures'. Most investments are bizarre things a normal investor wouldn't consider. The purpose is to 'Hedge' risk by going against the grain. Most funds don't release a prospectus so to speak because the investors just hand off their money and expect a high return. It doesn't always work that way though. The fees are exorbitant. Most of the money made is by the manager selling short. |

According to the definition I found, a hedge fund is a lightly regulated private investment fund often characterized by unconventional investment strategies and often making use of legal structures (sometimes offshore) to mitigate the effects of local regulation and tax regimes.
It is not a short definition because there seems to be a lot of details involved. See link for further clarification:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedge_fund

You may want to contact a investment broker to ask any additional questions you may have.
Hope this helps.
God Bless.... |

A hedge fund is like a mutual fund. But this particular mutual fund is not restricted to buying certain categories of investments (large cap, small cap, domestic, growth....). Hedge funds specialize in arbitrage. This means they are buying something at one price knowing they can sell it at another price, thus giving a guaranteed profit. |

Generally, a hedge fund is a lightly regulated private investment fund often characterized by unconventional investment strategies and often making use of legal structures (sometimes offshore) to mitigate the effects of local regulation and tax regimes. In contrast to regular investment funds, which are usually limited to only being able to "go long" (buy) instruments such as bonds, equities or money markets, hedge funds also have the ability to "short" (sell) instruments which they believe will fall in price. In this way, hedge funds are able to create more complex investment structures which can, for example, profit in times of market volatility, or even in a falling market. They are primarily organized as limited partnerships, and previously were often simply called "limited partnerships" and were grouped with other similar partnerships such as those that invested in oil development. Hedge funds are normally open to institutional or otherwise accredited investors. |
