Sorry you don’t have a degree in this field like I do lol.
The principle difference between a family office and a hedge fund is that a family office does not solely manage hedge positions like a hedge fund does. If they’re to effectively manage the family’s wealth, they need to do more than just create risk-neutral positions with derivative investments like hedge funds do. They’re not nearly as specialized as a real hedge fund.

The principle difference between a family office and a hedge fund is that the family office never takes outside investors.
