Capital raised is allocated to financial markets based on the manager's investment judgment. Managers decide, according to their investment strategy, which financial instruments to trade, in which markets, and what positions to build. Hedge funds have evolved from an original form centered on equity investing into vehicles that now use a wide range of financial instruments and investment strategies.[1]

<定義> ヘッジファンドとは、専門の運用者が複数の投資家から集めた資金をまとめて運用し、金融市場で投資を行う私募型の投資ファンドである。一般にショートセールやレバレッジなどを用いることがある一方、「ヘッジファンド」には統一的な法定・規制上の定義はなく、投資戦略や運用手法は多様である。

集められた資本は、運用者の投資判断に基づいて金融市場へ配分される。運用者は投資戦略に基づき、どの金融商品を売買するか、どの市場で取引するか、どのようなポジションを形成するかを判断する。ヘッジファンドは、当初の株式投資を中心とした形態から発展し、現在では多様な金融商品や投資戦略を利用するようになっている。[1]
