Hedge funds FAQs
What are hedge funds?
Hedge funds are sophisticated investment pools that use different strategies to take both short and long-term positions across equities, bonds, currencies, and other financial assets. Their goal is to generate returns at a reduced risk.
How do hedge funds differ from traditional investment funds?
Unlike traditional investment funds, which typically include stocks or bonds, hedge funds have the flexibility to invest in a broader range of assets, including property, pensions, derivatives, and currencies. This allows hedge fund managers to pursue unique strategies not available to traditional funds.
What are some investment strategies used by hedge funds?
Hedge funds use a variety of investment strategies compared to traditional asset classes. These can include event-driven approaches, global macro strategies, and various forms of arbitrage.
Are hedge funds regulated?
While not as heavily regulated as mutual funds, hedge funds do face regulatory oversight due to their different risk-reward profile.
