Plus, the manager(s) can invest in anything.... anything... honestly anything.

So the manager of the hedge fund has to understand the plays they're making in international markets? The whole concept of managing a hedge fund seems like it should assigned to a team rather than just one person.

They are both investment alternatives although typically targeted at different buyers.Quick list of difs:ETFs: traded on exchange, easy to get in and out (trade like stocks), can be very low fee, often passively managed to benchmark/index.Hedge Funds: typically very illiquid (can take years to get out), actively managed, no index as benchmark, high fee product (skills of manager), high minimum investment/need to be qualified investor.Hope it helps - more in ETF video and book. Best, Michael.

Hedge funds sound similar to ETFs. What are the differences?
