Unlike traditional investments, hedge funds do not primarily aim to attain exposure in specific markets or investment instruments. They differ in their more frequent use of derivative instruments and in trying to leverage their return by borrowing funds, using derivatives and taking up short positions on securities. As a result, they have potential risks in addition to the market, credit and liquidity risks associated with traditional investments. This requires corresponding risk tolerance and capacity. Investors should also be aware that these funds offer no capital preservation guarantee. All investments are subject to market fluctuations. Every fund has specific risks, which can significantly increase under unusual market conditions. The fund can use derivatives, which may result in additional risks (particularly counterparty risk).
