The goal of this Master's Thesis is to analyze the specific characteristics of the hedge funds with a primary focus on profitability and risk of the industry, which has experienced significant growth of the value of assets under management since the beginning of the new millennium. I want to provide a realistic point of view at the whole industry, which is considered as very risky in the eyes of the public. I want to support this point of view with an analysis of the risks and profitability of hedge funds. The single types of hedge funds are compared to each other and also to other asset classes. The first chapter discusses the specifics of hedge funds, so we can easily understand what differs them from the other collective investment funds. I have briefly described the development of the whole industry, which I have supported with graphical and numerical expression. The second chapter is focused on the development of regulation of hedge funds on the US market and on the European continent. The last chapter is dedicated to the analysis of the profitability and risk of hedge funds. The output of this part is the ideal hedge fund for the potential investor.
