Is there a difference between the two? In addition: http://www.bivio.com/index.html Is opening an account here the same as opening a hedge fund or an investment partnership? I know Warren Buffett began before Berkshire Hathaway the Buffett Partnership, is what is shown on this website similar?

Every website about hedge funds seems to want to sell me a fund or tell me how great their company is. Is there a site that explains hedge funds without a sales pitch?

I mean banks charge interest at maximum 15% per annum. But some of these guys promise returns of 25% and more! So why do they lose out that 10%? Why not simply borrow as much as is required from the bank?

Its a basically a mutual fund for rich people that can invest in more risky transactions like going short and buying and selling options. (You must be an accredited investor to invest in a hedge fund) Since there is so much money tied up in them a hedge fund can easily affect the supply and demand of a security affecting the price.

There are a bunch of rules that limit what mutual funds are allowed to invest in so the unsophisticated common investors can be “protected”.
A hedge fund is a pool of money that is managed by a professional manager and is sold only to “accredited investors”, so it does not have to restrict it’s activities in order to protect common investors.
Of course, common people are allowed to invest in stock like Washington Mutual and Bears Stearns and Enron and World Com, but the SEC does not feel that these are “risky”, while the hedge funds that return over 20% per year, after fees, are a problem. The SEC worries about the fees more than the possible loss of principal.
