The advantage of a hedge fund is that they are able to take aggressive positions regardless what the market conditions are. Most of my past investments have been in mutual funds and performed well. What I do not like about mutual funds is that they must be 90-95% invested in the market. A mutual fund manager is in a tough spot with the market volatility for two reasons 1. Must be invested 2. Cannot be short stocks Hedge Funds have an ability to take a 70-30%bull position and change it to a 70-30%bear position within one day. This gives the flexibility for fund manager to look long and short term depending on the investment. I do not know many with smaller investment requirements, one that I got from a fellow SI member some months ago is Titan Capital Partners, (602)606-9111. I put the minimum $25,000 into the fund and receive monthly statements. Put your money where your mouth is. Fund managers are generally required to have at least 2% ownership in the fund. I think hedge funds of the future will be the mutual funds of the past.
