Hi Community,
Let's break down hedgefunds for a minute. I am aware, for the most part, the role they serve for society. However, I would like to ask a few questions to some experienced people who are in the industry.
1) what is the main role of a hedge fund firm. Day to day activities? 2) what are the most popular investments instruments they participate in?
I understand hedge funds invest in stocks, real estate and derivatives etc. But since HF have not been performing well lately. Why not put my money in an ETF, Index fund etc. instead to achieve a higher return? Without being biased, what edge to HF have? I can invest my money in the stock market and achieve a higher return like Warren Buffet's argument. Am I missing something that HF do? Thanks.
Hey... http://bfy.tw/EFzA</a">I hope this helps!
Instead of wasting your time by sending that frivolous link, you could've answered my question... Anyways, for future reference, don't be that immature guy in this helpful community. Contribute something instead.
Actually I thought it was a perfectly good use of my time. There was a point to it though - no where in your post did it say that you tried to actually search for that information on this very problem. Instead of actually doing some research, you want others to answer for it. Because here's the thing, USE THE DAMN SEARCH FUNCTION BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION! Odds are, someone has asked that question in the past and you're not the first one to do it.
You're clearly an incompetent person. Read my actual question first instead of the title. Obviously I researched dude - don't have to state that in the question I'm asking because that's obvious. I want to hear people's opinions in the industry - I don't need other people "researching for me." Instead I want to have a general conversation on the current state of HFs. Are you really that ignorant? Shame to have you in this community. Please be mature kid. This isn't a forum for 10 year olds.
Again, I reiterate. Did you do a fucking search? The same questions have been asked in the past.
