Leveraged Stock

A stock bought on credit, especially on a margin account. Generally, one purchases a leveraged stock with one's broker's money, with the stock and cash as collateral. This increases the stock owner's profit when the net value goes up and increases his/her debt to the broker when it goes down.

Hedge funds differ from mutual funds in many ways: They can buy a wider variety of securities; they are restricted to fewer investors; they can try to produce a gain irrespective of whether stock and bond markets are rising or falling; they have not been subject to strict SEC regulations and disclosure requirements (except for the new "funds of funds" discussed in the text of the article); they tend to concentrate their portfolios in fewer investments; they have more leeway to "time" the market; they cannot advertise; they can limit the number of contributions and withdrawals; their compensation method is based on incentive and management fees that usually are much higher than those for mutual funds; and they can invest in long, short and leveraged securities.
