Abstract
People are always pursuing the minimum risk while seeking for maximum profit when investing, so they often use a variety of different strategies or portfolios to reduce investment risk. Among these, hedge funds are the most common type of portfolio used by fund managers. By using different strategies to buy different stock portfolios, hedge funds can effectively hedge the risk of a single stock or fund, so as to minimize the risk. However, hedge funds contain many different strategies and not all the strategies can process effectively in the market. We must analyze the market and pick up the most suitable strategy. In this case, this article will discuss the effect of their actual operation in the market based on these strategies. The article will analyze five different hedge fund strategies, including three trades that are relatively successful and two trades which are relatively not so successful. Then the article will deeply analyze the reason why the strategy can fit the market or why did it fail the market. During the analysis, some strategies are suitable for the market while the other are not.
