hedge fund
Wealthy investor pool
A hedge fund is a private investment fund that pools money from wealthy individuals and institutions, using aggressive strategies—short selling, leverage, derivatives—to generate returns regardless of market direction.
Unlike mutual funds, hedge funds face fewer regulations and require high minimum investments.
Fund managers typically charge both management fees and a percentage of profits.
