Me: How much risk is there involved?
Hedge funds: yes
????
Doesn't make sense.
So how much risk? Is there risk?
Are you saying there should be NO risk?
I am not getting it

@@AfzalHussein appreciate it! 😂 hope ur chanel does numbers you got a new subscriber 💯
Cheers! 🙌🏽
Totally agree, is not overwhelming yet is detailed enough to understand the basic concept
then I must have adhd
yes, i saw about 8 videos before this and understood nothing
I’m pretty stupid and this was explained perfectly in plain English ! Thanks man
Thank goodness you brought this up! Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life. Currently earn as much as 10 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life. Great piece!
Wow, congratulations on your impressive investment success! Your discipline and focus on delayed gratification is truly inspiring. I'm curious, what are some of the key factors that you consider when making investment decisions? Do you have any tips for those of us who are just starting to dip our toes into the world of investing? Thanks for sharing your story!
She's OLIVIA SULLIVAN FINANCIALS
she's a known advisor. I actually did look her up curiously and went through her credentials on her webbsite... Top-notch! I wrote her an email, hopefully she's accepting new intakes.
I'm definitely gonna check her out. Do yo have any idea if she manages family fund?
She's definitely going to help you. All you have to do is look up her full name and reach out to her on her webbsite...
I'm currently in my master's program and have always struggled with these terms as a book definition is completely different than someone like you explaining it in simpler terms. thank you so much! 👍
The editing for this video is better than the previous ones, idk who did it but hats off.
wow, that explanation tho. I'm a 4th year college student taking financial management major. I've never learned a lot like this in just 2-3 mins before. so simple, direct and understandable. thanks for this! you gained another subscriber✊🏼
Short, simple and informative video. This guy speaks and conveys real well.
Love this 2-minute series! They really teach you way more than a long 300-page book in an easier way! So basically the difference between a Hedge Fund and a Private Equity Fund is that Hedge Funds pool leveraged money and then invest it into their projects which could result in higher risk but also a higher ROI (if things go right of course...) compared to Private Equity because Private Equity Funds pool money from investors, making investors be a part of the project itself and making money off of the project itself meanwhile in a Hedge Fund the investors are just basically lending the money to the fund and making their return via the pay off of the money they borrowed to the Hedge Fund. Am I correct?
"in basic english" thanks for this, as a non-native, sometimes is hard to look for definitions (specially in a field that I'm not familiar with) without encountering hundreds of other words and concept I don't know about
Really straight forward communication. Clear explanation of hedge funds. Kudos!
I keep loosing in real trade but win in Demo.
Should I give up on Trade?
What should I do?
How may I do better?
What I'm I doing incorrectly?
I HAVE INCURRED SO MUCH LOSSES TO TRADE ON MY OWN,I TRADE WELL ON DEMO BUT I THINK THE REAL MARKET IS MANIPULATED.
I always advice new members to have an orientation on how it works before getting involved. Trade offers more benefits than just holding.

having a mentor is also very important when it comes to Trade, with out that, it can be very frustrating.
Because of the GameStop saga I've watched a lot of videos about hedge funds. But your explanation is the best of them all. Thanks!
Great video. Gets right to the point. BIG THUMBS UP
👍
These kinds of video that take us out of misery from not understanding the terms in our reading assignments. Thanks for the amazing video.
Great video - as I work myself in an investment bank I found this video to be short, clear and straight to the point!
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching!
Simply explained, easy to understand. Thank you!
Thanks bro.
I just cited your video in my article.
your video really help me in understanding about hedge funds. thank you so much!
This is the only video out of many where I actually understood what hedge fund means. Thank you!
Hello Afzal. Do you think it really matters the ranking of the university or cost when it comes to find a job in the Finance field after a master program?
thank you, i kinda get it.. I'm ready for the Advance English version now
Worth watching. and its easy to understand the logic rather than referring to book definition. Please share similar kind of video on various financial topics by giving such a good examples in simple terms which will e useful for common man.
got the idea now....thank you for that clear explanation
using this for exam prep honestly got more out of this then a ninety minute lecture
😄😄
Well explained. Thanks for keeping it simple 👍.
You’re a genius thank you for explaining this it’s a very important subject that is often missed
No BS..straight to the point with clarity
Hey Afzal can you do a video on how to lateral from S&T to investment banking? Specifically for someone in sales since that isn’t touched on too often? Enjoyed your vid as always!
Wowwww very simply explained, subscribed within the first few seconds due to being sold on simple delivery of the concept
Thanks!
thank you so much for explain these definitions in simple terms
This is a great video, explaining the subjects in straight forward terms. I've subscribed. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
omg ive been googling all night and this explained more than google in 2 mins lol
Thanks for this video, it made a lot more sense than the others I tried watching
I found this very interesting: cogent, informative, and devoid of jargon, in short, educational. Keep up the good work and wishing you continued success.
Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. A trader made over $350k in this recession influenced market
The best course of action is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance.
Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic.
Please who is the consultant that assist you with your investment and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with this person
*John Desmond Heppolette* is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..
Thanks for sharing, I just looked him up on the web and I would say he really has an impressive background in investing. I will write him an e-mail shortly.
For individual investors, it is important to exercise caution in investment decisions and fully understand the balance between risk and reward
Great video! Please consider doing one on Corporate Banking :)
Nicely explained, thanks
Thanks for the explanation. I’ve got a lot to learn. 💡
Cool video, love how you make it sound so simple even though I know that it isn’t
Thanks for watching!
You are great dude.. please could you also make videos how actually processes work in IM side or custodian side ? Like reconciliation, fund accounting, trade processing etc
great video
A very informative vlog. thanks.😀😀

The markets remain doubtful that the Federal Reserve will keep to its plan to raise interest rates until inflation is under control, even though bond yields are rising while stock prices are falling. What is the best method to profit from the current bear market while I'm still considering whether to sell my $401,000 worth of stocks?
I advise you to seek professional advice because building a strong financial portfolio is more challenging. Your long-term objectives and budgetary preferences can be catered to in the ideas you get after that.
Working with a reputable investing coach is currently the greatest market strategy. I've been in contact with a coach for a while, mostly because I don't have the breadth of knowledge or mental fortitude to handle current persistent market conditions. I made over $700k throughout this recession, demonstrating that the market is trickier than most people believe.
@@greenquake11931I need suggestions to assist me recover my portfolio and create more effective strategies because of the huge dips. How do I locate this coach?
@@stellamoore720 There are many financial coaches who excel in their profession, but for the time being, I employ 'BRIDGET MARY TUROW", because I adore her methods. You can make a research and find out more about her services.

Not all hedge funds take a on a huge amount of risk and leverage. It’s just all depends on the manager and his investment strategy
Perfectly explained ❤
Thank you, got it in simple English as you say... it was a burning topic to find out.. :)

One of the best explanations for the r/wallstreetbets folk. Hope your video blows up!

Cant entirely blame Joe for this, Donny played a part too

Thanks for video Mr afzal. I learn a lot from your channel. Could you please clarify who are the clients of hedge funds if asset management clients are the government, local authorities, pension fund and insurance companies? I hope your next Tuesday video explain wealth management, private banking and their clients.
I wanted to get to know Abt hedge funds and u explained clearly ❤ thank u may God bless u
Could you explain exactly how the wallstreetbets thing affected the hedge funds?
All you really need to know is that high-end Wall Street investors were trying to short-sell failing companies like Game stop and AMC, or in other words, profit from their failure, like a gamble, a very risky one indeed. Hedge funds are notorious for this; they control nearly half of the NYSE and LSE.
But little did they know that r/wallstreetsbet garnered a Reddit Army and convinced swarms of people to buy GME and AMC stock to drive the prices sky-high, and as a result some hedge funds have lost billions of dollars.
Now we have billionaire capitalists crying and politicians rushing to introduce tighter laws to restrict such activity. Some apps even went as far to prevent people from buying GME stock after the price surged through the roof. Sore losers!
When amateur teenagers do it, it's "market manipulation", but when Wall Street does it, it's called "investment strategy". It just shows their double standards; they're only really mad because they were beat at their own game.
Though, the reality is, hype is economically-speaking unsustainable and won't last, although on the bright side, the recent events have showed us the power of social media and how swarms of middle-class people can have a strong impact on the stock market.
@@vuxone5845 oooh now I see. Thanks! Do you personally think all of this will cause any restrictions or regulations to be put in place?
@@vuxone5845 Thank you you're very good at explaining things.
@@alexjdm2422, some apps have already put restrictions on buying GME and AMC stock, e.g. Robin Hood blocked retail investors from purchasing Reddit-hyped stock while hedge funds can freely trade the stock they see as fit.
AOC and some economists have called it out, but unfortunately much of the US government is largely and deeply tied to the Wall Street elite, so prominent investors and hedge funds simply have more political backing and more power to protect themselves even when they make rather conservatively authoritarian and unfair moves.
In fact, stock-trading platforms can legally put even MORE restrictive regulations (such as block entire stocks, or even remove them in some cases) as there is no specific law that prohibits them from making a move during such abnormal surges in the market, but if they were to get too restrictive, they would violate what a free market and economy stands for, and hence receive public backlash and media critique which would go against their financial and public-image interests.
So it's highly unlikely the trading platforms would take a step further than the current restriction of buying the Reddit-hyped up stock. They won't get more strict than that. They can't.
Though, if events like these repeat and become the normality, then the US government will put more regulations to protect the financial interests of the upper-class.
Business shouldn't be so intertwined with politics, but that's sort of the way it's always been, everywhere.
@@vuxone5845 you’re right...
As the economy crisis keep rising,one needs to have different stream of income, one needs to have a diversified portfolio in order to survive.
this really helped me understand the topic, thank you!:)
I understood the term for the first time! Cheers! KeepSmiling 🌺😊

I currently have 4500 shares of SCHD! My goal is 5k shares. This is my retirement plan!! My portfolio consists of 200 voo 200 vug 150 vgt 4500 SCHD! Is the future bright or not?
Bother less and enhjoy the time you have left.
the size of your retirement portfolio will overwhelmingly be a function of the performance of the stock and bond markets between now and when you start withdrawing from it.
You need a third party to help you out. A financial planner or accountant can run through your figures, including your projected income and expenditures when you retire, along with your retirement goals, your emergency fund and any other strategies you need to put in place for such things as long-term care
@@ClaudiaRom I have seen a lot about FAs and actually want to consult some pro. How did you go about it? Is yours any good?
@@benalfredo I have saved myself from all the hassle that the chaotic market causes. These days the best way to come into the market space is seeking guidance, due to side hustles i can’t handle my portfolio so i just work with LOREN LENA WALKER, a FA i came across via a recommendation from one of these TH-cam retirement coaches.
It’s been smooth since then. Cliche as it may I have made a mark up of 70% in profits investing 350k under her. It helps not to be worried about your portfolio every minute of the day.
👍 made it
Thank you 🤗

Hedge funds don't necessarily take on huge risk... many have sub 15% annualised vol, could be a better way to explain to describe their strategies as absolute return strategies. Risk can even be lower with certain strategies in some scenarios as many, e.g. equity long/short have low corr to markets.
Thanks, Chulie. I might have to add 'annualised volatility', 'absolute return strategies', 'equity long/short', etc. to the list of future Two Minute Tuesday videos as the target audience for these videos (teenagers, students, graduates, young adults, and non-finance professionals) will likely get overwhelmed with the jargon. Tricky thing to do in such a short time, but I hear where you're coming from. Thanks nonetheless.
Main aim of these videos is to give any viewer a general, high level gist of the word/topic/term being discussed.
@@AfzalHussein got you bro, nice video either way, like what you're doing

Your channel is amazing, Mr Hussain!
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Success is a state of mind. I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Expert Mr KAYLIAN SMITH.
Hit $200k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with $20k in October 2023
Most rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without no stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them
You're absolutely right, and that's a beautiful mindset you've got there I never thought of it this way before.@@reynaldo2447

I have broken through 45k, 72k and got my eyes on 120k! Champagne stays popping, he's too awesome.people prefyto spend money on liabilities rather than investing in assets and be very profitable
Even with the economic fluctuation, I'm so excited I've been earning $45,000 from my $10,000 investment everyday 10days.
HOW!! I know it's possible, my sister always get 40K every week, I would appreciate if you show me how to go about it.
I've got up to 700K returns since I came across Mrs Jane Rucker Rutledge trading platform
@@kiransandru6789 Oh please, how can someone get to speak with Mrs Jane Rucker Rutledge?
Wow I know Mrs Jane Rucker Rutledge and I have also been trading with her, she's such an amazing woman with good skills keeps me happy all week knowing I earn 15thousand extra in my income trading with her.
I am from Denver Colorado USA I connected with her and she has helped me a lot,she makes so much profit for me she is a FINRA agent, the best I can invest with so far ever since I came across expert Mrs Jane Rucker Rutledge, my bad turned out being good and profitable.

This explanation was so easy to understand. Thank you.
This is great, lately I have been getting passive income from weekly crypto and stock trading, it has changed my life, I was really doubtful at first
Oh good? how do you do this, i have been losing for a while now, can you tell me how you earn passive income every week?
I trade with Larry Kent Nick, he manages my trading investment and is consistent in providing me profits every week

Wow... amazing to see other investors trading with Larry kent nick, I'm currently on my 5th trade with him and my portfolio has grown tremendously.
Someone told me that it's the best time to buy Bitcoin, because there will be a huge pump soon
I saw all this coming I had to switch to Crypto trading and I'm really enjoying the fact I made the right choice because of my weekly earnings
I make good income too from bitcoin trading and its been my most reliable source of income at the moment. With profits I've made so far I don't think i can get broke or lack anything.
How do you do it please
Because I've tried severally but seems not working
It's very possible because I make $8300 with my little $1300 weekly
Very clearly explained. Cheers.
