This article will reveal everything you need to know about investing in hedge funds, mutual funds, and ETFs.
Quite transparent. Holdings are reported periodicallyAbout Hedge Funds
While investing in hedge funds promises highly lucrative potential, they are also riskier, less liquid and less regulated than mutual funds and ETFs in Singapore. This is also the reason why they are restricted to accredited and institutional investors who can afford larger initial minimum investments and have the expertise to manage the risks associated with such investments.Like hedge funds, mutual funds are private investment options built from pooled funds from investors.
The typical disadvantages associated with mutual funds are the high fees, tax inefficiency, potential for management abuses and unavailability of intraday trading. Unlike ETFs which can be traded throughout the day, mutual funds can only be traded once per day after the market closes. While this is not a huge problem for passive investors, it could mean there is a different order price than you expect if you place orders manually.
Investing in ETFs may not be as lucrative as buying an individual stock but it is a lower-risk product that may strike a chord with more risk-averse investors. It is widely used for portfolio diversification in Singapore.
