Solution
The correct option is B
1 and 2 only Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect: Theoretically hedge funds are to minimize the risk and optimize the return but practically these are the most risky funds as these are not regulated by regulators of any country.
Statement 2 is incorrect: Hedge funds are only available to a specific group of sophisticated investors with high net worth.
Statement 3 is correct: These Hedge Funds buy Indian shares which are called Participatory Notes or PNotes. It has been a matter of great concern to SEBI because more than 51% of FIIs investment in India has been in the form of P-notes.
