A hedge fund is a type of private fund that pools investor assets to pursue a specific investment strategy (such as long-short equity, market neutral, or relative value). Typically, the objective of a hedge fund is to generate absolute returns i.e. limit market risk while seeking to generate positive returns in all market conditions.

Investors may wish to provide capital to private businesses. The investor may become a company owner (equity investor) or a company creditor (debt investor), depending on how the agreement is structured. The funding provided may help start a new business, provide an existing firm with additional capital, finance the acquisition of a company, or something else entirely. In general, private equity/debt is less liquid than public equity/debt.

Private Equity
Investments are most often made by investing in a pooled investment vehicle that invests in private companies (Private Equity Funds) or through direct purchase of private company stock.

Private Debt
Investments are most often made indirectly by investing in a pooled investment vehicle (or fund) that invests in loans or other debt instruments, or directly by lending. Included in these types of investments are secured and unsecured Promissory Notes and Mortgage/Deeds of Trust.

As a general rule soft commodities are grown (corn, soybeans, wheat) and hard commodities are mined or manufactured (aluminum, copper, natural gas). Investors typically invest in commodities via commodities futures contracts, which give them the right to buy or sell an amount of a commodity at a specific price on a specified future date. Some buy commodities futures to make the cost of doing business more predictable i.e. as a hedge (farmers, airlines); others seek to profit from their commodities trades.
