hedge funder
Alternative investment manager
A hedge funder is someone who manages or works for a hedge fund—a private investment fund that uses aggressive strategies to generate high returns for wealthy investors.
The term often carries connotations of extreme wealth and Wall Street excess: Hedge funders in Greenwich drive Maseratis.
In political discourse, hedge funder sometimes serves as shorthand for financial elites detached from ordinary economic concerns.
