In this video, we break down the economics of owning a hedge fund, from the "2 and 20" fee structure to management fees, performance fees, operating costs, and the high-water mark. ‎ ‎Running a hedge fund can be extremely profitable, but only if you gather enough assets and beat the market consistently.
