About Hedge Fund
A hedge fund is a pooled investment fund that trades in relatively liquid assets and is able to make extensive use of more complex trading, portfolio construction, and risk management techniques in an attempt to improve performance, such as short selling, leverage, and derivatives. Financial regulators generally restrict hedge fund marketing except to institutional investors, high net worth individuals, and others who are considered sufficiently sophisticated.

Why is Hedge Fund important?
Hedge funds are important because they perform the role of linking capital with capital needs, which is a vital market function.

Hedge funds create demand for different types of assets and help set and regulate asset prices, which is important in financial markets to determine the appropriate relationship between asset risk and asset price.
