Why you should invest in S&P 500
I've this argument countless times from retarded niggers before. Why should I invest in S & P 500 when I can cherry pick the most profitable companies and earn larger profits? No S&P 500 are already weighted by market capitalization so you automatically invest more in those profitable companies...
Why should you invest in hedge funds?
Main reason is higher profits and more diversification. In my previous thread I explained about index funds while they are good for long term growth if you want to beat the Market with higher returns and are willing to take more risk, hedge fund is your answer. Since many retards in my previous thread wanted proof calling everything jewish I will be talking about examples to justify my points wherever I can remember something relevant.
Why bother with hedge funds when index funds exist?
Because hedge funds are actively managed. In other words professional fund managers analyze market conditions, adjust portfolio to mmaximize your returns.
Hedge funds also use advanced algorithmic trading to make investment decisions. Hedge fund managers (atleast the good ones) take concentrated positions in a few key investments unlike index funds which spread risk across 500+ stocks this results in hedge fund beating market returns. Their goal isn't just to match the market's returns (like index funds) but to ggenerate xcess returns over the market average.
Example-Renaissance Technologies Medallion Fund one of the most successful hedge funds, delivered returns of over 30% by using quant trading strategies
Hedge funds also address one big flaw of index funds that is they rise and fall with the market. If the S&P 500 crashes so does your portfolio. Hedge funds one the other hand use various methods like Short Selling,Hedging with Derivatives to minimize this. I won't go into detail talking about what these things are since these can made into seperate threads itself but all you need to know is if the market goes down you can be assured that your portfolio will still somewhat be safe
Example: During the 2008 financial crisis, many hedge funds used short selling and hedging techniques to minimize losses while the S&P 500 fell to almost 50% iirc
Hedge funds also don't follow a single investment strategy. They are more complex and more diversified event driven and dynamic. The investments spread across different domains.
Hedge funds are also only available to accredited investors due to which they have exclusive access to certain investments like
Private Equity & Venture Capital - Investing in startups and private companies before they go public.
Distressed Debt - Buying discounted corporate bonds from companies in financial trouble and profiting if they recover.
Examples-Hedge funds invested heavily in early stage tech like Uber and Airbnb before they went public and secured massive profits
All this sounds good but are you ever going to invest in hedge funds? Probably no chance unless you are very rich. The initial investment itself for reputable hedge funds is probably like multiple times your net worth
Who Should Invest in Hedge Funds?
-I am a rich nigga and want to beat market-beating returns.
-I am an investor and want downside protection during bear markets.
Who Should Stick to Index Funds?
-I am a low IQ cel and don't understand any of this and want a hands free approach
-I am broke nigga and happy with market average returns
