From Wikipedia:

A hedge fund is an investment fund that pools capital from a limited number of sophisticated individual or institutional investors and invests in a variety of assets, often with complex portfolio construction and risk management techniques. It is administered by a professional management firm, and often structured as a limited partnership, limited liability company, or similar vehicle.
