I'm sure brewer can provide some great imput here. The reason I bring it up is hedge funds are the fastest growing area of investing. Today, there's over $1 trillion in them, and that number continues to increase.
They're not for folks who like low ER..........right brewer? But a lot of waelthy folks are putting a decent chunk of their net worth in them. You have to be a "qualified investor", which usually means make $150,000 a year on a 3-year average, or have $1million in investable assets.
Managers take 20% of the gains as compensation. The main advantage is the manager or managers can load up on out-of-favor stocks, boullion, real estate, whatever.........
