I would like to know what is the commission agreement between agency brokers in wall street and institutions dealing with large volumes of stocks such as Hedge Funds, Fund of Funds, Mutual Funds or Banks.

Thanks!

Some are charge so much cents per share, some are charged a fee for the entire order, some are not charge at all,

Chargers depend on the quantity involved, the market being used, the thinness of the market, time frame required to fill order, inventories requirements or needs of the B/D or market makers/specialist.

So, there is no “usual” commission that firms charge hedge funds or other institutional firms,

Question by rishi a: How can I start investing into hedge funds and into emerging markets funds.?
Hedge funds and emerging masrkets funds are booming these days, how can i start investing my money into these markets and funds.

Best answer:

Answer by Cory R
You can’t directly invest into hedge funds unless you are considered a “qualified investor” as defined by SEC. This usually means assets of $ 1 million and a salary over $ 200k a year, but you can invest in emerging market funds.

Check out an emerging market small cap, value, and/or growth fund. They are still in the uptrend right now so returns are good, just be sure to diversify depending on your age. I have an emerging markets value fund that did more than 40% return last year, but the risk is greater of course. But since the US stock market had been haywire as of late they are currently not much risker than US large cap stocks in my opinion. Look at the Vanguard funds, they have some good index funds.

I want to know if investing money into hedge funds is a way you can trade options without doing all the work yourself and leaving it to a proffessional such as a fund manager to make you the money?

Also, can investing into hedge funds make you wealthy?

Hedge funds don’t just trade options. They use it with stocks and bonds. Generally hedges funds are more risky than stocks and yearly returns can be very high ( and low).
Typically, hedge funds are not open everybody. Only the wealthy are allowed to invest. Net worth over $ 500 million and investment over $ 50K.

The hedge fund industry has grown dramatically over the last two decades, with more than eight thousand funds now controlling close to two trillion dollars. Originally intended for the wealthy, these private investments have now attracted a much broader following that includes pension funds and retail investors.
