Did you know that over the last two centuries, about 90% of the world’s millionaires made their money by investing in real estate?

Buying real estate—whether on your own or by pooling your resources with other investors—is one possible way you can invest your money. Investing in real estate means owning land plus any buildings and other natural or man-made features on it.

There are three main ways you can make money on a real estate investment:

✅ Price gains—i.e., you buy a property for a lower price and eventually sell it for a higher one

✅ Charging rent—whether you’re renting apartments to families, office complexes to corporations, or storefronts to retail businesses

✅ Harvesting resources—such as if you own timberlands or oil-producing properties

👉 And those three ways aren’t mutually exclusive. For example, you could buy a duplex, rent it out to tenants for a few years, and then eventually sell it for a profit to boot.

Hedge funds are investment funds that pool many in

Hedge funds are investment funds that pool many investors’ money and then hire one or more professional managers to buy and sell specific investments.

Although that basic structure is a lot like that of mutual funds, unlike mutual funds, hedge funds are lightly regulated and often high risk. You can think of them as like mutual funds on steroids. 💪💰

With high fees and high risk, you might wonder why anyone would choose hedge funds over other types of funds. It generally comes down to two potential benefits:

✅ The chance of higher returns. Because of their aggressive approaches and because looser regulations give them more leeway to boost returns, hedge funds have the potential to generate much higher returns than other funds.

✅ The need for diversification. Investors are always on the hunt for investments that don’t move in lockstep with traditional stocks and bonds (particularly for investments that may rise when stocks or bonds are falling).

Because they can invest further afield, hedge funds can have an easier time delivering those types of returns than mutual funds or other mainstream investments.

Given the barriers to entry for the average person, hedge fund investors typically include:

➡️ Pension funds
➡️ Foundations
➡️ University endowments
➡️ Family offices (a private company that handles investments for a very well-to-do family)
➡️ Wealthy people

👉 The word “hedge” actually has a specific meaning in investing? It means to reduce risk by making an investment that offsets the risk of another investment.

A common misconception is that hedge funds engage in hedging. Some do, but plenty don’t. And did you know that just like Silicon Valley is the capital of the tech world, Greenwich, Connecticut, is the capital of the hedge fund world? 🧐

Let's talk about #CampaignFinance.

Running for election gets expensive. Candidates may need to pay for:

✅ Staff—such as a campaign manager, an advertising team, website designers, and organizers to coordinate volunteers.

✅ Office space for their campaigns—some candidates may need only a small headquarters in their hometown, while others may also need local offices throughout their state or the country.

✅ Advertising—it costs money to buy TV ads or billboards.

✅ Research—candidates may need to research their opponent or do polling to find out how voters respond to their ideas.

✅ Travel—to win the Iowa caucus, you probably have to travel to Iowa, and that costs money.

✅ Events—candidates may need to host rallies, dinners, or meet-and-greets with voters.

Candidates for local office may be able to fund their campaign entirely with their own savings or with only some small contributions from family and friends.

When it comes to national politics, however—and particularly running for president—candidates typically tap a range of funding sources including: Individuals, Megadonors, Party Committees, Political Action Committees (PACs) and Super PACs. Many experts believe the U.S. system should be reformed because it can create a cycle of influence.

Here’s a simple example:

Corporation A wants less restrictive
laws on pollution.
↓
Corporation A gives a large sum of money
to a Super PAC supporting Candidate X.
↓
Because Candidate X received so much
financial support, he or she wins the election.
↓
Candidate X wants Corporation A’s support
in the next election, too, so he or she tries to get
looser pollution laws passed.

That cycle is problematic because the U.S. is a democracy, so the government is supposed to work for the people—not for corporations or industries—and not only for the wealthy.
