Hedge Funds Advice Please

[Ariyahn2011]

Hey guys,
I was lying in bed after doing some research throughout the night into hedge funds and quant funds. I could not help myself getting out of bed and making this post to seek some advise from the more experienced.

After much thought, I thought to myself that investing in Hedge Funds and REITs would probably presented less risk than stock picking (for me anyway). I had made some bad calls throughout my life and I have come to a realisation that I should allocate majority of my investment capital towards funds. Although, I will still pick stocks but perhaps only allocate a small % to play with to gather experience and minimise risk.

I am 27 years old now. My question is, is it worth getting into Hedge Funds with amounts such as 10K spread across perhaps 3 different funds (and sectors) and allowing the amounts to compound over 10-15 years? I like the idea of hedge funds providing consistent returns even during bear trends. I realise some funds have min investments of up to 500K, although there are some good ones that I found that require 10K and 25K respectfully.

Any advise on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Kash

If he /she/it is still around, something to keep in mind about hedge funds and where their real interests lie.

In essence, nothing wrong with sharing gain as long as losses are shared too, and these gains are exceptional.
The real question imho should be gain/losses vs indexed etf of S&P..i assume above is for US.
If someone is working to produce outstanding results, i am ready to orovide the capital and share.

yep , that is the way i see active managers

BUT i do NOT have large amounts ( say half my investment capital in one or several combined )

the salesmanship can seem so attractive that you can be lured into investing uncomfortably ( for YOU ) large amounts into them
