True Beacon is a hedge fund. So, let’s first understand what a Hedge Fund is:
A hedge fund is bunch of serious suit & tie Joes managing a pool of money.
They use different techniques to get their investors maximum returns.

It’s not like a mutual fund where everyone can invest.
It’s only meant for High Net Worth individuals and professional investors who know what they are getting their money into.

Also it’s not regulated by the SEC in the US so these Joes have a pretty free hand.
In India they are slightly less regulated.
Actually in India there are no Hedge Funds as per say, they are called Alternative Investment Funds (category 3)

How is Nikhil Kamath’s True Beacon different?
First: they don’t charge a management fee, annual fee or anything like that.

Their model is pretty simple: Unless they make you a return, they are not going to make any money themselves.
If they generate profits, they charge 10% performance fee from the profits.
Simple transparent system.

This isn't a common thing in most Hedge Funds...

How do hedge funds generate these returns and how do they earn?
Hedge funds do a lot of complicated finance stuff😂
They invest, trade, do futures & options and what not.

A hedge fund manager is basically incentivised to generate a higher return for her clients.
A mutual fund manager get’s a cut from the money under his management, not the profits.
A hedge fund manager gets a percentage of the profits.

That's why a hedge fund is different from a mutual fund. Incentivised manager would make sure you get more profits.
