What is a hedge fund?

Definition of a hedge fund:
A hedge fund is a type of investment vehicle in which investor assets are pooled together and invested in a variety of asset classes. Hedge funds are typically organized as Limited Partnerships. Though the term hedge fund implies that hedge funds “hedge” risk, many funds engage in trading that may result in more volatility than a typical portfolio.
