What's a hedge fund? | Marketplace Whiteboard

There's a lot of confusion about what a hedge fund actually is these days. Here's a short and basic explainer from your mate Paddy Hirsch.

Also worth noting that its not entirely correct to say that hedge funds are completely unregulated. They are subject to some rules, but they are much less regulated than most other investment types. #HedgeFunds #Whiteboard #GameStop

I’ve been diving into hedge funds lately—trying to balance my approach as both a beginner and a seasoned professional. With all the buzz about market volatility and the intricate strategies involved, I’m a bit worried about whether I’m getting in over my head.

I was reading about hegde funds for the past 45 minutes and I was still scratching my head. Then I simply gave up and clicked on this video and from start to finish everything simply just made sense. If education was like this, I would have got to Oxford by now. Thanx for the video 😊

Biker gang is a brilliant analogy. I tried watching many YouTube videos to understand hedge funds but none of them made sense to me. This one did!
