Need some precise definition[edit]

Whoever started this might want to be a bit more specific. Is it some sort of investment fund? The problem of mutual fund is that there are legal transparency requirements (so funds where people don't want you to know what the fund is holding should probably in the hedge fund category) as in they have to list what they own on a regular basis and public records should be able to validate that this fund owns that much of each asset.

It's a scam, basically. It's what the financially inept think a hedge fund is. EVDebs (talk) 23:10, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
