{{g}}A | {{g}}A “[[real money]]” investor is one who funds investments at their full value, and has no truck with [[leverage]], [[margin lending]] or [[unfunded derivatives]]. Thus, sensible, safe, comparatively low-risk: these are the good guys of the [[investment management]] world: if they blow up, it is their own problem, and not someone else’s. Unless you count the pensioners whose money they are managing, of course. | ||
===Who are real money investors?=== | |||
Folks who are long capital and want some inflation-defending return, but don’t want to bet the farm. Life insurance companies, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds: those types. Also index trackers. | |||
===Who are not real money investors?=== | |||
Hedge funds; speculators: anyone who borrows money to invest. So, if you own a house with a mortgage, ''you''. You crazy guy. | |||
