What do the hedge funds represent?

Question

Answer 2

Hedge funds are like other investment funds, except that they are not open to the general public. This means that they are not subject to the same regulation that applies to mutual funds, brokerage firms or investment advisers. In practice this means that they can invest in more complex and riskier investments than a public fund might.
