How to Invest in Hedge Funds: It is not difficult to invest in hedge funds but it does take a considerable investment of time or advice from a trained and licensed hedge fund consultant to make sure you avoid common pitfalls or over-concentration in one type or highly correlated investment portfolio. This article is not written as a piece of financial advice or an offering of services, but simply as a way to de-mystify how the process of investing in hedge funds actually works.
6 tips for those who want to know how to invest in hedge funds:
1. Make sure you are a accredited investor.
2. Learn everything you can about hedge funds, if you have the time. Read this hedge fund blog, read news articles, skim through white papers, download the free hedge fund blog book and review commentary written by hedge fund managers. Try to speak to friends who personally work with hedge funds or have invested in hedge funds in the past.
Only work with licensed hedge fund consultants and hedge fund brokers who also ensure that you are an accredited investor. Use what you have learned in your research to work with someone who is honest and not overly bias towards certain types of funds that might not be right for you.
3. Include your day-to-day financial advisor through the whole process of investing in Hedge Funds. In fact, they probably know a good person to contact regarding this process.
4. Consider using Fund of Hedge Funds.
5. Never bet the house on a single strategy. Consult your regular day-to-day financial advisors to help you construct a portfolio of investments that makes sense for your financial position and goals.
6. Keep informed. Ask to directly receive monthly or quarterly updates from the hedge fund manager and stay actively involved. Learn what types of market movements affect your hedge fund the most and keep tabs on them and trends that might affect them.
Note: This post on How to invest in hedge funds is not financial advice or a solicitation to sell hedge funds. None of what I write in the Richard Wilson Hedge Fund Blog is ever an offer of financial or investment advice. This is a forum for ideas, networking, tips, and leads. Please comment with any ways I could improve this posting. Thanks in advance.
