| | Hedge fund - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The fee structures of hedge funds vary, but the yearly management fee typically ranges from 1-2% of the assets under management and the incentive fee is usually 10-20% of the profits of the fund. | | | Offshore hedge funds are usually domiciled in a tax haven and, for U.S.-based fund managers, are designed to allow the manager to manage the assets of foreign investors and tax exempt U.S. investors. | | | Hedge funds are similar to private equity funds, such as venture capital funds, in many respects. |

| | Articles on hedge funds – information about hedge funds and hedge fund strategies |
| | Performance of many hedge fund strategies, particularly relative value strategies, is not dependent on the direction of the bond or equity markets -- unlike conventional equity or mutual funds (unit trusts), which are generally 100% exposed to market risk. | | | Hedge fund managers are generally highly professional, disciplined and diligent. | | | Hedge funds benefit by heavily weighting hedge fund managers’ remuneration towards performance incentives, thus attracting the best brains in the investment business. |

| | Well, if you ever needed confirmation, here it is. ABN Amro recently admitted that lending to hedge funds was not as risky as exposure to leveraged buyouts by private equity funds, which like corporate borrowing a few years ago poses a bigger risk to investment banks. | | | Then there is the distressed securities strategy wherein the hedge fund buys equity, debt, or trade claims at deep discounts of companies in or facing bankruptcy or reorganization. | | | Hedge funds mostly trade listed stocks, fixed income securities, currencies and commodities. |

| | A Hedge Fund is generally a Limited Partnership structure allowing the pooling of "private" assets, but is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the 1933 Securities Act (1934 amended) or under the Investment Companies Act of 1940 (like Mutual funds). | | | Most Hedge Funds report on an annual basis and use an independent accountant audit. | | | The Fund Manager's assets are less likely invested in the fund. |

| | A Brief History Of The Hedge Fund |
| | The development of the "fund of funds", which is simplistically defined as a mutual fund that invests in multiple hedge funds, provided greater diversification for investors' portfolios and reduced the minimum investment requirement to as low as $25,000. | | | With a high-flying hedge fund once again capturing the public's attention with its stellar performance, investors flocked to an industry that now offered thousands of funds and an ever-increasing array of exotic strategies, including currency trading and derivatives such as futures and options. | | | All hedge funds that fall under the new SEC rules must be registered by Feb 1, 2006. |

| | Hedge Fund |
| | Investments in hedge funds are illiquid as they often require investors keep their money in the fund for a minimum period of at least one year. | | | Legally, hedge funds are most often set up as private investment partnerships that are open to a limited number of investors and require a very large initial minimum investment. | | | They are similar to mutual funds in that investments are pooled and professionally managed, but differ in that the fund has far more flexibility in its investment strategies. |
