Hedge Fund Fraud

The recent expansion of the hedge fund industry and their sometimes reckeless practices has landed many in hot water

In the past hedge funds were available only to the very wealthy. Now many have opened their doors to small investors. This presents the individual with many opportunities but also many risks. This website explains the concept behind these funds. We are not associated with any investment firm and do not make recommendations for or against any particular fund.

Start with our overview of hedge funds section, where you will learn what the funds are, how they differ from mutual funds, and how they started on Wall Street. The performance section talks about some of the spectacular failures of these risky funds.

The investment strategy section discusses the short selling techniques that hedge funds employ and how fund managers seek arbitrage opportunities. We also discuss the risky investments that hedge funds make in an attempt to generate superior returns.

You may be surprised to learn that the hedge fund industry is largely unregulated, which is partly why investing is a risky proposition for most people. If you have been cheated, consult a hedge fund attorney.
