1. Historically hedge fund managers are entrepreneurs who invest a large portion of their own money in a particular investment strategy and gather additional money from a handful of private clients to help take advantage of the buying power of a larger magnitude of funding. Now, however, large mutual fund companies have entered the hedge fund business partly to stem the loss of top performing managers to the higher pay of top hedge funds, and partly to service and satisfy investor demand.
