Can individuals invest in hedge funds? If so, what are the eligibility requirements?

In India, hedge funds are not available for retail investors. Generally, hedge funds are only available to accredited or institutional investors, who meet certain financial criteria such as high net worth or income levels, or large institutional investors such as pension funds and endowments. These eligibility requirements are in place to ensure that only sophisticated investors participate in these highrisk, highreward investment vehicles. However, some hedge funds may have their own eligibility criteria that are specific to their investment strategy or structure. It is important for investors to carefully review the offering documents of a hedge fund before considering an investment.
