Definition: Hedge funds are privately-owned companies that pool investors' dollars and reinvest them into all kinds of complicated financial instruments. Their goal is to outperform the market -- by a lot. They are expected to be smart enough to create high returns regardless of how the market does.
The popular misconception is that all hedge funds are volatile -- that they all use global macro strategies and place large directional bets on stocks, currencies, bonds, commodities or gold, while using lots of leverage. In reality, less than 5% of hedge funds are global macro funds. Most hedge funds use derivatives only for hedging or don't use derivatives at all, and many use no leverage. Benefits of Hedge Funds. Many hedge fund strategies have the ability to generate positive returns in both rising and falling equity and bond markets.
