Speaking of hedge funds...

Do you think it's possible for a person with liquid net worth of $1.5 mil to benefit from hedge fund investing?

I got interested in this question recently, and went to www.hedgefund.net to check it out. I filled out their "temporary membership" questionnaire, and discovered that the questionnaire is just a come-on for the real test (a phone interview).

Got into the phone interview, and was told really quickly that they were not interested in talking to anybody with net worth under $5m.

Does that strike you as a reasonable lower limit? I can imagine that if minimum investments are $1m, then you'd need at least $5m so that the $1m would be possible in a diversified portfolio.
