Hedge funds are similar to mutual funds in structure. Investor money is pooled together and invested in an effort to make a positive return. However, hedge funds have more flexible investment strategies than mutual funds. Hedge funds seek to profit in all kinds of markets by utilizing strategies involving leverage, short-selling, and other speculative investment practices that are not typically used by mutual funds. Another factor that distinguishes hedge funds from mutual funds is that hedge funds are not subject to the same regulations designed to protect investors. Depending on the amount of assets in the hedge funds advised by a manager, some hedge funds may not be required to file reports with the SEC. Fortunately, hedge funds are subject to the same prohibitions against fraud as are other market participants. In addition, managers owe a fiduciary duty to the funds under management.
