Thank you. We are happy to explain. In fact, that is the reason why we are offering our Apis Token, because many people do not understand hedge funds or how to profit from them. And even if they do, typically a hedge fund investment has only been available to the ultra-rich in the US, not to the everyday investor.

A hedge fund is an investment fund. It is run by a group of traders who should have a lot of experience in trading specific things. For example, a hedge fund may trade energy products (i.e buy and sell barrels of oil or natural gas). Or like in our case, we specialize in trading Volatility, which is a mathematical measure of the psychological state of the market. Our group of traders

The difference between a hedge fund a mutual fund or ETF is that a hedge fund allowed to have complete over their strategy and thus is able to earn much more profits. It's unfortunately a silly US law that mutual funds can actually only buy stocks (they can't trade volatility, can't short stocks they think will go down, they can't trade cryptocurrencies etc). This is bad because of this most mutual funds are useless and make no money for investors who might as well just buy the SPY ETF which is directly investing in the stock market. I have seen in my career mutual funds being sold as "safe
 and "good" to Mom and Pop investors (that's what we call the average investor in the USA) and over the years they lost a lot of money so the only people that got rich were the bankers.

As a hedge fund, we are not restricted by the mutual fund rules. We are able to have complete flexibility in how we trade. This has allowed us to develop a combination ERP/VRP strategy that takes advantage of the volatility mathematics in the market. We have extensively tested (over 10 years of data) and traded it live (over 2.5 years) with great results. One of the biggest advantages is that it's capable of generating profits both in up, down and sideways markets. Of course, it's not fool proof and it can have some months where it will not profit, but overall it has returned about 70% per year.

Tokenization of assets on the blockchain, and especially the Stellar protocol is what has allowed us to share our strategy and performance with the whole world and enable everyone to profit from our expertise. Hedge funds normally cannot accept small investments and have to charge large fees for administering the strategy, but in a Token like Apis Token, that problem is easily solved.

I hope that helped answer your questions!
