Hedge Fund Investment Terms | by John S. Lore, Esq.
This white paper describes some of the most common hedge fund terms and how they apply to various hedge fund strategies.
One of the most important aspects of forming a hedge fund is setting the terms of the investment. When properly structured, hedge fund offering documents contain terms that adequately protect the fund sponsor and are attractive to investors. Hedge fund terms are driven by the fund’s strategy, the market trends within the fund’s asset class and the particular needs and objectives of the fund. It is crucial that the investment fund legal counsel has an in-depth understanding of current investment market trends and how those trends affect the strategy the fund will employ.
