Hedge Fund Taxes

How do hedge funds avoid/lower their taxes? If someone could elaborate on carried interest or reinsurance companies in tax havens that all go to lower the effective tax rate that hedge funds would have to pay. Also setting up as an LLC avoids double taxation ergo I understand that, it’s mainly more regarding the capital gains rate that hedge funds pay that I need explained a bit better. Many thanks
