Starting a Crypto Hedge Fund from Scratch

Here we will tell you what a hedge fund is in the simplest of terms. A hedge fund is a separate, distinct type of private investment fund that:

• is not restricted by regulation;
• is not available to the general public;
• is managed by a professional manager;
• is characterized by a particular remuneration structure;
• is focused on maximizing returns while minimizing risks.

What is a hedge fund, and how does it work?

A hedge fund is a pool of assets of several investors managed by traders. Requirements for starting a hedge fund differ depending on the country of registration. To carry out investment activities in the European Union, you first need to obtain a license. Use the services of professionals who will help you save time and increase your chances of success in obtaining a license and registering a hedge fund in Europe.

What are hedge fund strategies? The most common hedge fund strategy is the long/short equity strategy. It involves taking different positions in stocks (on the expected rise and fall of prices) to generate income, regardless of the general direction of the market.

Global macro strategy - making investment decisions based on macroeconomic trends (analyzing interest rates, economic indicators) and geopolitical events. 

An event-driven strategy capitalizes on specific corporate events (mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies) that could affect a company's share price. 

Relative Value Strategy - identifying and capitalizing on price discrepancies between related securities. 

Distressed Debt Strategy - investing in the debt of companies facing financial problems or bankruptcy to profit from the potential recovery and improvement of the company's financial position.
