Hedging for the high rollers

Article Abstract:

Hedge funds can allow investors to make money during a bear market, and many analysts are concerned that a market downturn could occur. There are around 4,000 funds world wide and they tend to be based offshore. This means that they are freer to operate than are investment trusts and unit trusts and can deal in assets that they do not possess. Regulators cannot ascertain whether problems are brewing so there are more risks for investors, and charges may be high. Hedge funds tend to be suitable for wealthier investors.

Spread a little investment caviar on your portfolio

Article Abstract:

United Kingdom investors can invest in hedge funds using individual savings accounts (Isas). Hedge funds have been seen as the preserve of the rich, and Isas as the preserve of the less well off, but Finsbury offers an International hedge as part of its range of Isa products. The number of hedge funds has increased three-fold over 10 years to some 5,500, with specialist advisers as the main source of information on this type of investment vehicle.
