Financial dictionary

A qualified investor is an individual or institution that meets specific financial or professional criteria, allowing them to invest in riskier or specialized investment products such as hedge funds, private equity, and certain real estate funds. These criteria typically include the size of the investor's assets, income, and investment experience.

A qualified investor fund is an investment fund designed for investors who meet certain criteria and have sufficient financial resources and experience to handle a higher level of investment risk. These funds are often less regulated than regular investment funds, allowing for greater flexibility in terms of investment strategies and opportunities. Qualified investor funds can invest in a variety of assets, including riskier or less liquid investments. These funds are typically managed by professionals and may offer higher potential returns, but also come with higher risks.
