Their name comes from the fact that early hedge funds (and some current ones) tried to "hedge" their exposure to the market (so they could, in theory, do well in an "up" or "down" market as long as they were good at picking the good companies). Today, hedge funds represent a huge class investment funds. They are far less regulated than, say, mutual funds. In exchange for this, they aren't allowed to market or take investments from "unsophisticated" investors. Some use their flexibility to mitigate risk, other use it to amplify it.

  8. Private equity companies are run by greed infested bastards, responsible for loading good companies up with massive amounts of debt and in most cases ruining them. In most cases employees suffer at the hands of private equity companies. Many good long serving employees leave for greener pastures where private equity is not involved.
  9. Your being very kind in your brief description of what a private equity firm really does.
  10. You are the best!
