Use our Jargon Buster to cut through the complicated language financial services companies sometimes use, and find out what it really means. The list is in alphabetical order so you can scroll down to look up words and their meanings:
Hedge Funds These are exclusive funds with a high minimum investment level and are generally not open to the general public. They are unregulated and exempt from many of the rules surrounding a collective investment, which allows them to follow aggressive investment strategies that are unavailable to Financial Services Authority authorised funds. Whilst some hedge funds operate a conservative strategy, others take risky positions on market and share movement.
