Overview: The term "Hedge Fund" is derived from the practice of investment managers who would take long positions in various securities and then "Hedge" against the risk of a general market decline by taking short positions in other securities. Today, the term usually refers to private investment vehicles that may utilize a wide range of investment strategies and instruments. These funds may use short positions and derivatives, utilize leverage and charge incentive based fees. Normally, they are structured as limited partnerships, LLCs or offshore investment companies.
