Hedge fund /hɛdʒ fʌnd/ (n.)
A couple of guys with a bright idea and a rented office in Mayfair. The Oxford English Dictionary says it is an “offshore investment fund, typically formed as a private limited partnership, that engages in speculation using credit or borrowed capital.”
That neglects to mention how much they charge, or that they talk a lot about alpha — even leveraged alpha — and have the back-tests to prove it — while doing a lot of vega.
Vega, by the way, is not a drug.[1] In fairness, in speaking of credit and borrowed capital, it does nod in Vega’s direction.
