Derivative Funds (Hedge Funds)

Derivative funds invest in almost all financial and commodity instruments and in almost all regions and are thus not subject to such strict supervision as the other funds. Therefore, it depends in particular on the fund manager, which strategy will be chosen and what the results of the fund will be. Very often, these funds make use of the so-called leverage effect (which means that great yields, but also great losses can be achieved with just a small investment).
