The Hedge Fund industry has grown at a ferocious pace in the last decade, from as few as 300 funds in 1990 to more than 7000 today. The funds have become highly visible in markets and press, and are today estimated to manage up to $650 billion in capital.
Hedge Funds, like other alternative investments such as real estate and private equity, are thought to provide returns that are uncorrelated with traditional investments. This has attracted an increasing number of individual and institutional investors who have realized that investing in Hedge Funds can further diversify their portfolios and produce higher returns at lower risk.
