Hedge funds are specialized investment funds designed to manage relatively liquid assets using diverse and often complex strategies aimed at generating high returns.
These strategies can include long-short equity, where managers simultaneously buy undervalued stocks and short overvalued stocks; market neutral, which seeks to avoid market risks; volatility arbitrage, which capitalizes on price discrepancies; and quantitative strategies, which rely on mathematical models.
Due to their sophisticated nature and the high risks involved, hedge funds are typically accessible only to institutional investors like pension funds, endowments, and mutual funds, as well as to individuals with significant wealth. This exclusivity is partly due to the higher minimum investment requirements and the advanced investment knowledge necessary to understand hedge fund operations.
