Expected ROI from hedge funds?

What kind of minimum average yearly return on investment do you think is reasonable to expect when investing in a hedge fund?

Be glad if you get anything positiv back.

Is there any reason that I shouldn't expect to get some answers? The reason I ask is because I am thinking about creating a hedge fund at some point in the future.

You should take a look what ROI other investment forms can get you. Look at bonds, ETF's, real estate and so on. Whatever ROI they can give you, you will need to get a premium on top of it with a hedge fund.

Of course risk needs to be measured too. Your hedge fund can net 100% on an annual basis but if the risk to lose the investment is 80%, you won't get a lot of investors.

Just me, or is this funny.

Not to bring you down but "point in the future" is far away from you. You didn't do any research simply by googling the subject "average return in hedge funds".

There is something for you on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedge_fund under
Performance measurement

Just want to ask if anyone has ever put money into a hedge fund. What are the success stories and failure stories ???
