Prognozowany średnioroczny wzrost (CAGR) europejskiego rynku aftermarket do 2035 roku.
BCG2024Europe
A fund employing a broad range of strategies—including short selling and leverage—available exclusively to qualified investors.
Why it matters
It generates returns regardless of market direction, making it a completely different asset class from funds investing in startups.
What's missing without it
Without this distinction, it's easy to confuse patient capital with capital that exits positions within days.
When it is used
When analyzing ownership structures and in public markets.
How we use it
The fund bets against a company's stock price while simultaneously buying its competitor.
Fun fact
The name comes from hedging positions, though today most such funds hedge nothing. The classic compensation model is 'two and twenty': 2% of assets plus 20% of profits.
