Investing Hedge Funds
How do hedge funds operate? Do they invest long or short? What kind of returns do they generate?
What type of investors do hedge funds usually appeal to?
Do they invest in high-risk type of investments?
Is there a tax provision that allows them or enables them to operate differently than other types of investment vehicles?
Hedge funds are very risky they are entirely unregulated. This means they can invest in anything, anywhere. This risk is why you must make $200,000 a year or have 2 million in the bank. Often to reduce the risk the hedge-fund will hedge their investment, meaning they will buy a stock and short it at the same time. Shorting is betting the stock will go down. The small difference that they earn in this transaction can only be profitable with large amounts of money. This is why hedge funds are in major debt (leveraged). Management also takes a commission on average of 20%. If you want learn about hedge funds and risk, I suggest When Genius Failed. This book is about LTCM which just about went under in 1998 and took the whole banking industry with it.
And LTCM was managed by winners of the Nobel prize in economics. Very, Very risky.
