Key Hedge Funds Strategies
Hedge fund strategies vary on several counts. Most investors hedge against market downturns. The primary aim of most hedge funds is to reduce volatility and risk while attempting to preserve capital and deliver positive returns under all market conditions. The popular misconception is that all hedge funds are volatile and they use global macro strategies and place large directional bets on stocks, currencies, bonds, commodities or gold.
