What is a Hedge Fund?
Hedge Funds, like mutual funds, are pools of investments. They can invest in anything, private corporations, public corporations, real estate, currencies, the list goes on. Only Accredited Investors [those who have at least $200,000 of annual income ($300,000 for a married couple) for the last three years or have an investable net worth (outside any equity in your primary residence) over $1 million] and institutional investors are able to invest in them. They often use leverage which increases the risk level.
