A hedge fund is an investment fund that is managed by professional investment managers. Hedge fund activities are often not regulated by government financial market regulators, but nevertheless, they are controlled by supervisors and regulators.

1 Czech asset management companies and the funds they have created, as well as hedge funds of other countries, are intended only for qualified investors. However, Czech management companies have a lower minimum investment amount for qualified investors.
For example,
