The term hedge fund, as generally defined, means a pooled investment vehicle that is privately organized, administered by a professional investment manager, and available to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals. Hedge funds do not, however, constitute an asset class in the way that stocks, bonds, commodities, or real estate do. Hedge funds conduct various investment activities, such as selling securities short and buying securities on leverage. They utilize derivatives and assume high-risk strategies. Hedge funds are also exempt from SEC reporting requirements and regulatory restrictions concerning trading strategies.
