Hedge funds, on the other hand, are investment vehicles that aim to generate high returns by employing a variety of aggressive trading strategies. The purpose of hedge funds is to maximize investor returns while managing risk, often through techniques such as leverage, short selling, and derivatives trading. Market makers play a crucial role in ensuring liquidity and stability in financial markets. By providing continuous buy and sell quotes, market makers facilitate smooth trading and help reduce price volatility.
