Hedge Fund Definition
Hedge funds typically borrow money and reinvest the capital in short term and sometimes risky securities. Hedge funds are normally a limited partnership structure, such an LP, and they can be onshore, such as in the United States or China, or offshore in places like the Cayman Islands and Bermuda and many other jurisdictions. Investors are often diverse and strategies employed by such funds, such as âhedgingâ an investment is commonplace. Often the positioning of hedge funds is short or long and depending on the scenario, the dollar or Euro amount invested, profit margins can be high (and of course one can lose their entire investment).
Hedge Fund Structure
Often, hedge funds are most often set up as a limited partnership (usually referred to as a âprivate investment partnershipâ or LP or LLP). As a private investment partnership, hedge funds are not permitted to have an unlimited amount of investors and therefore the offering (typically conducted via a PPM for a private placement or a private placement memorandum or offering memorandum for the hedge fund) will limit the number of investors. In order to offset the negative implications of having âfewâ investors, the hedge fund, in the hedge fund PPM, will state that it is only allowed to have investors buy in for a âlargeâ investment. Example: if a hedge fund in its offering memorandum is seeking $100 million in capital, they may have a million dollar minimum buy in or higher. Additionally, investing in a hedge fund also implies that the investment is illiquid. This means that oneâs investment will remain in the company for a âlongâ period of time, such as one year, without having the ability to take oneâs money out.
Sophisticated Investors for a Hedge Fund Private Placement
In general, hedge funds are basically unregulated. This unregulated industry is mostly because hedge funds seek out to what is known as a âsophisticated investorsâ.  For American investors in hedge funds, it is required the any investor be âaccreditedâ while in Europe it may be called âexperienced investorsâ. Accredited investors must have a certain net worth (this net worth standard was updated in July 2010 by the financial overhaul bill that went through and was approved by the US Congress) while sophisticated investors must have experience and knowledge of investing. In additional from an accredited investor having a certain amount of net worth, they must also possess investment knowledge. Hedge funds âhedgeâ, which basically means they attempted to maximize profit while reducing risk and doing this faster than, say, a mutual fund, which has a longer term view for investment. Therefore, investors must have knowledge of the general industry.
