Are Most People Interested In Hedge Funds?

Question

I have been writing in my hedge fund blog called the Richard Wilson Hedge Fund Blog for several months now. I have about 75 people/day coming to read my articles but I'm not sure who they are.

My question is, does the general public have an interest in learning more about hedge funds even if they will never want to or be qualified to invest in them? I'm trying to figure where most of my web traffic will be coming from in the future. It might be that I never get a HUGE following on my hedge fund blog simply because most people invest in stocks and mutual funds.

If you want to see who I am or what my hedge fund blog looks like first they are online at

Thanks in advance for your input.

In response to why would people be interested if the general public could not invest in hedge funds...

In dozens of other well developed economies and countrie the general public CAN invest in hedge funds and it is ongoing debate here on why the SEC and US government believe in restricting these investments to the rich. I thought individuals might be interested because their peers in Australia are free to invest where many of the most talented money managers are working. Thanks for the input though, I appreciate it.

Answer 1

No. If the general public can't qualify as an accredited investor, why would they be interested?
