Many people think of Mutual funds to be the same as Hedge funds, because these two platforms act as managing funds looking for increased returns for investors. Investment hedge funds are more complex and more suitable for aggressive investors and only for accredited members. while mutual funds with risk levels that vary from conservative to aggressive profit.

My understanding of a mutual fund is what I learned in the bank. They will collect money from the investors that is put in a pool to be invested in government bonds and treasury bills. The earnings will be higher than the interest of a bank deposit. A hedge fund is a manager of funds that an investor can borrow for the purpose of buying stocks. The hedge fund manager would invest the money in whatever way to earn a higher yield.

I have always known mutual funds to be available for the public to invest and make money and I don't know that it is somehow related to hedge funds. Again, what does it take to be accredited investor that can invest in hedge funds?

A hedge fund can invest in anything—land, real estate, derivatives, currencies, and other alternative assets. Mutual funds, by contrast, usually have to stick to stocks or bonds

Honestly, I have always though hedge funds and mutual funds mean one and the same thing not until now that I am reading this post that I now get to know that I have been wrong all this while. Thank you very much for the lectures on this. I just got educated about the two now. Thanks.

Hedge funds should restrict their promoting and financial backers, they can't offer to people in general. Be that as it may, they are not covered by rules restricting influence, liquidity, execution expenses, focus and different things so they can seek after more refined systems.
A mutual funds should hold fast to severe principles set out in the Investment Company Act of 1940, or more extra standards declared by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In return, they will offer their offers to general society.

They don't take share from the profit
Are available to the general public
Can't make high-risk investments
Tend to perform worse than hedge funds. While Hedge funds
Are available only to high-net-worth and sophisticated investors
Charge management fee (normally 2%) plus performance fee (normally 10–30%)

In my own understanding I believe mutual funds are offered by institutional fund managers with a variety of options for retail and institutional investors. While Hedge funds target high-net-worth investors. These funds require that investors meet specific accredited characteristics.

Index funds seek market-average returns, while active mutual funds try to outperform the market. Active mutual funds typically have higher fees than index funds. Index fund performance is relatively predictable over time; active mutual fund performance tends to be much less predictable.

Mutual funds that I know, is done in the bank, where people open an account with a particular amount of money, and don't touch the money until the months or the year finally elapse then the money must have attracted lots of profit for you and the dividends too.

Quality is the best, cos the product stays longer for you, if its a clothing products, or cosmetics, electronics and xD, than buying affordable that is inferior.
