Hedge fund. A pooled investment vehicle that is privately organised and is administered by professional investment managers. It is different from another pooled investment fund, the mutual fund, in that access is available only to wealthy individuals and institutional managers. Moreover, hedge funds are able to sell securities short and buy securities on leverage, which is consistent with their typically short-term and high risk oriented investment strategy, based primarily on the active use of derivatives and short positions. US [United States] hedge funds are exempt from Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements, as well as from regulatory restrictions concerning leverage or trading strategies. 2, record 2, English, - hedge%20fund

Today, the term "hedge fund" refers not so much to hedging techniques, which hedge funds may or may not employ, as it does to their status as private and unregistered investment pools. 3, record 2, English, - hedge%20fund

Fonds spéculatif. Structure de placement collectif organisée de façon privée et administrée par des professionnels de la gestion de placements. Elle diffère d’une autre forme de fonds collectif, le fonds commun de placement, au sens où son accès est réservé à des particuliers fortunés et à des gestionnaires de portefeuilles institutionnels. De plus, les fonds spéculatifs sont en mesure d’acheter et de vendre des valeurs mobilières sur fonds empruntés, ce qui est conforme à leur stratégie d’investissement normalement axée sur le court terme et la prise de risques importants, principalement en utilisant des instruments dérivés et des positions à découvert. Les fonds spéculatifs aux États-Unis sont exemptés des obligations de déclaration auprès de la Securities and Exchange Commission, ainsi que des restrictions prévues par la réglementation en ce qui concerne le levier financier ou les stratégies de négociation. 7, record 2, French, - fonds%20sp%C3%A9culatif

fonds de couverture : à l'origine, les gestionnaires de fonds de couverture utilisaient la stratégie longue-courte pour couvrir les risques de marché, d'où l'appellation «fonds de couverture», calque du terme anglais «hedge fund». Cette appellation constitue maintenant une impropriété lorsqu'elle sert à désigner un fonds qui comprend peu ou pas d'éléments de couverture. 8, record 2, French, - fonds%20sp%C3%A9culatif
