Hedge fundGeneral
A hedge fund is an investment fund that adopts a strategy purporting to create profit, whatever the market situation may be.
Legal structure
Most hedge funds are established as limited partnerships, where the fund manager is the general partner and the investors, the limited partners.
This legal structure has tax advantages as each investor in the fund (limited partner) has a different tax regime (foreign resident, Israeli resident, corporation, private client, etc.)

Macro-Global
This strategy is perhaps the most well known in the field of hedge funds. The strategy manager in macro-global funds attempts to take advantage of changes in policy and macro-economic developments and their impact on the various markets. This was done by many managers during the emerging period of the European Union, when interest rates of the currencies of the various countries of the Union converged to a single status. The fund managers that estimated that unification would go forward, bought Italian and Spanish denominated bonds bearing high yields, and against this sold short German and French bonds, on which the yields were relatively low. As the date of the unification approached, and on its completion, the managers reaped profits irrespective of the level at which the yield on the common European currency was fixed, namely the Euro.

Investment advantages of hedge fundsThe main advantage is lack of dependence on market behavior. The most popular investments are equity instruments and debt instruments. Equity instruments yield profit when the market rises, and lose when the market goes down. In equity instruments, profit depends mainly on changes in the yields: a drop in the yields will cause a rise in the bond rates and growth in profits, and a rise in yields may cause profit to go down below normal interest rates, and even lead to a loss.However, investing in hedge funds is not necessarily connected with the behavior of the markets. Regardless of whether the market is going up or down, or interest rates are rising or falling - the fund manager may earn a profit as well as a loss.
Simodan Hedge Funds (2009) LTD
In contrast to investing in funds and bonds where the investor wants to beat the market, the investment manager in the hedge fund will wish to meet a pre-determined profit target - that is generally higher than the benchmark. In those circumstances, investing in hedge funds produces results having a low correlation with those of the market or of ordinary investments. This is one of the important requirements of an investment portfolio: to invest in assets having a low or negative correlation, thereby reducing the risk. For those reasons, investing in hedge funds enables a profit to be made whatever the market situation may be, and also benefit from a drop in the asset prices, exploit changes in the market in both directions, diversify investments and vary the assets. Hedge strategies are very wide and invest in equity instruments, debt instruments, currencies, commodities, interest rates and the like - in Israel and throughout the world. Risk management, that is the basis of the hedge-fund industry, allows risks to be limited and profits to be maximized.
