Hedge Fund
A fund which is managed 'aggressively' to get maximum rates of returns by using derivatives and swaps, selling short, and using arbitrage techniques. Because of the high risk, investors in hedge funds have traditionally been drawn from the ranks of institutional investors who have well diversified portfolios and can afford to take on the extra risk. The rewards of hedge fund managers are usually heavily geared towards the performance of their funds.
