What is a hedge fund?
The term hedge fund is one of the most talked about financial
terms in the world of investors.
Hedge Funds are a type of private investment fund accessible
only to a limited number of people, since the minimum capital to
invest is very high. The objective of hedge fund managers is to
obtain much higher benefits than traditional investment funds
and at the same time do not want to be dependent on a market.
While investors can make above average gains, Hedge Funds are
considered risky and, so, only a few investors choose to invest
money. A middle class person can lose all her savings from a
lifetime of work by investing in a hedge fund.
