If you’ve ever wondered what
are hedge funds all about, and why so many sophisticated investors
invest in them, you might want to read on. Here are a few things that
will help you understand what hedge funds are all about.
What is a Hedge Fund?
A
hedge fund is the same as a mutual fund. It is a pooled investment
vehicle that deals with publicly traded securities. So in reality, a
hedge fund and a mutual fund could have the same fundamental
investments. Both, mutual funds and hedge funds also have a portfolio
management team that works to outperform the market on a risk-adjusted
basis for the principal investors.
However, the big difference
between a mutual fund and a hedge fund is that hedge funds are not
registered with the Securities Exchange Commission and are loosely
regulated. Hedge funds are also sold on a private placement basis, which
is why they are not advertised in the print media and television
advertisements. However, hedge funds are subject to the same anti-fraud
measures as mutual funds and other investment vehicles, and their
managers have a fiduciary duty to the various funds they manage.
