Hedge funds pool the capital of a small number of high net worth individuals or institutions under the direction of a single manager or small team. One of the reasons to domicile offshore is to be free to use trading strategies which traditional, domestically regulated retail fund are not allowed to do. A key technique is to use short as well as long positions. This can provide protection against a falling market...

OBS

As the name suggests, these funds hedge their risks by offsetting potential losses by hedging their investments using different approaches, the most popular one being short selling.

OBS

Nowadays, the term "hedge fund" also designates funds that do not hedge their risks.

DEF

Fonds commun de placement ou société d'investissement à capital variable qui a recours à des stratégies de nature spéculative dans le but d'atténuer les risques de marché qu'il assume, notamment en tentant de maintenir simultanément une position longue sur les titres dont la valeur est susceptible d'augmenter et une position courte sur les titres dont la valeur est susceptible de diminuer, le seul objectif étant l'appréciation du capital.

OBS

Il faut prendre garde de ne pas confondre les fonds de couverture (en principe peu risqués) et les fonds spéculatifs (très risqués), d'autant plus que la langue anglaise ne possède qu'un seul terme pour désigner ces deux types d'outils de placement. À proprement parler, les fonds de couverture représentent une catégorie de fonds spéculatifs compte tenu de la nature spéculative de leurs stratégies.

The ability of one side to obtain essential and key elements of truth while denying these same elements of truth to the other side.

CONT

Arming for the data wars. The news and data streaming endlessly through computers is a big business in its own right. Last year, the four main companies-Bloomberg, Bridge, Dow Jones and Reuters-together collected $4. 4 billion of sales for providing the information that lubricates the workings of the financial markets. What makes each service unique is the historical data it offers and the number-crunching software it provides for customers to analyse the data. If, say, a fund manager has a peculiar hunch that price swings in French shares might affect the way American municipal bonds fluctuate, he needs decades of prices and a sophisticated way to process them. A vendor that can provide him only two years of stock prices will not meet his needs. Although Reuters’ breadth of information remains unmatched, it has yet to master the art of supplying historical data packaged up with analytical software. For now, that market belongs to Bloomberg.
