HEDGE FUNDS

A hedge fund is a private investment fund that is exempt from government regulation and open only to accredited investors -- investors with the means and the appetite for greater risk. As a result, hedge funds make greater use of complex investment strategies such as short selling, futures contracts, swaps and other derivatives as well as good old fashioned leverage. HFs also employ hedging techniques to reduce some of the risk. Hedge funds often charge hefty performance and management fees.
