1. What is a hedge fund?
Hedge fund refers to an investment model that makes full use of the leverage of various financial derivatives, undertakes high risks, pursues high returns, and uses various trading means to hedge, transpose, hedge and hedge, so as to earn huge returns. * * * A mutual fund refers to a fund company established according to law to raise funds by issuing stocks. Investors appear as shareholders of fund companies, entrust assets to fund management companies for management and operation, and entrust their patient financial institutions to keep fund assets on their behalf. At present, the concept of hedge fund is still relatively broad, and many financial products are essentially operated by hedge funds. Generally, the handling fee is relatively high, including management fee and contribution fee. Hedge funds are not guaranteed. Hedge funds are mostly private investment companies with high leverage. Therefore, at present, hedge funds are mainly suitable for institutions and individual customers with large funds.
Second, how do hedge funds make money?
First, we need to understand the profit model of hedge funds. Generally speaking, the income is divided into two parts, one is the cost of managing assets, which is generally 1-2%. For example, if Dayu buys a fund of 100 yuan, he has to pay the management fee of 1-2 yuan; The second part is the commission of investment income, which is generally 10-20%. For example, if the eldest brother gets 100 yuan and gets 10% income, that is, 10 yuan, then the hedge fund can get 1-2 yuan. This income model has a strong incentive effect on fund managers. The higher the investment income, the richer the share.
At present, hedge funds are not accessible to the general public, so we still have to rely on companies to contact hedge funds. At present, the main problems are poor performance and high fees. The whole industry is also facing some reshuffle, and more research is needed.
