Hedge funds are private investment funds that employ highly speculative techniques aimed at earning maximum capital gains. These funds ‘hedge' the risk by diversifying the portfolio of investments. In simple terms, hedge funds are pooled investment vehicles whose investment in publicly traded securities is huge as compared to average investors.
Unregistered investment pools, such as venture capital funds, private equity funds and commodity pools, are also sometimes referred to as hedge funds. Hedge funds are available in forms like hedge fund ETF and hedge funds real estate. Prominent hedge funds with over USD 10 billion capital include Bridgewater, GSAM, Citadel, SAC Capital, Renaissance, DE Shaw, Vega and Tudor.
There are about 10,000 hedge funds worldwide. Together they account for about 1 percent of the combined global equity and bond market. Financial experts assert that India has tremendous potential for investments. Global hedge funds have generated handsome returns by investing in the country. Variety in investment options and excellent growth prospects for hedge funds are the key attractions of the Indian market. Despite being a relatively new investment opportunity, the total hedge fund assets flowing into the Indian market was a whopping USD 2 billion during the 2003 session. The prospective Indian hedge fund market has attracted big names such as Renaissance Technologies, which is world’s largest hedge fund firm handling asset worth USD 35.4 billion. Additionally, some other well known names such as Old Lane, DE Shaw and Och-Ziff Capital Management have also entered the Indian hedge fund market.
The unprecedented Bull Run in the US equity markets during the 1990s swelled investment portfolios. As a result, both fund managers and investors felt the need for diversification. Global hedge funds volume surged from USD 50 billion in 1988 to USD 750 billion in 2003 at a CAGR of 24 percent. Increase in hedge funds across the world has induced more outsourcing to India.
As hedge funds inundate the Indian market, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has felt the need to regulate them. SEBI intends to provide a broad-based, registered and regulated platform to these entities, depending on their individual track records.
