Private
investments, open to large customers and wealthy individuals, that use borrowed
funds to invest in the stock, bond, and foreign exchange markets. Hedge funds
are exempt from regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
under federal securities laws. Thus, hedge funds are not required to limit the
types of financial instruments included in their fund and dont have to
disclose information about their holdings beyond what they voluntarily want to
disclose. Hedge funds often take 20 percent of the annual return for their
profit, with an annual fee of about 2 percent.
