A hedge fund is an investment fund that pools capital from a limited number of accredited individual or institutional investors and invests in a variety of assets often with complex portfolio construction and risk management techniques.

It is an alternative investment vehicle available only to sophisticated investors such as institutes and individuals with significant assets. Like mutual funds, hedge funds are pools of underlying securities.
