A hedge fund is a private investment fund that charges a performance
fee and is typically open to only a limited range of qualified
investors. Hedge fund activity in the public securities markets has
grown substantially as it constitutes approximately 30% of all U.S.
fixed-income security transactions, 55% of U.S. activity in derivatives
with investment-grade ratings, 55% of the trading volume for
emerging-market bonds, as well as 30% of equity trades. Hedge Funds
dominate certain specialty markets such as trading in derivatives with
high-yield ratings, and distressed debt.
