What does a Hedge Fund Manager do?

Answer:
A Hedge Fund Manager is one who, generally speaking,

handles the complex investment vehicles within a somewhat secretive group of investors putting their money in private investments.

Hedge funds are private investments that charge performance fees, payable to the hedge fund manager. Hedge funds are usually limited to a certain number of qualified investors, and public information about specific hedge funds is typically unavailable.

Hedge funds are not subject to some of the regulations and restrictions that mutual funds or other public investment vehicles are subject to, thus they are apt to invest in more risky and more uniquely complex investments.

A Hedge Fund Manager must be on top of the game, and in tune with the world of high finance, since some hedge fund assets being managed can be in billions of dollars.

The inherent risks of hedge funds makes a Hedge Fund Manager's task worth every penny of this potentially very high paying position.
