hedge fund managers
Alternative asset overseers
Hedge fund managers run private investment funds that use aggressive strategies—short selling, leverage, derivatives—to generate returns regardless of market direction.
They typically serve wealthy individuals and institutional investors, charging both management fees and a percentage of profits.
The term often carries connotations of extreme wealth and financial risk-taking.
Hedge fund managers made billions betting against subprime mortgages before the 2008 crash.
