How can someone piggy-back hedge funds with only £200?

[uk_casius]

Hi all, Just watched a video promoting Vince Stanziones trading course (don't worry I'm not going to buy it ). I saw something that does sound good in it though about piggy-backing a top Hedge fund for £200 that investors would normally need £1million to invest in.

Just wondering if anyone knows how to do this? My guess is that its either through spread betting a particular SB company (if so which one?) or finding out what the hedge fund is invested in and copy them?

Does anyone have this information for free please?

Thanks in advance.

Which hedge funds are doing well at the moment?

Stanziones literature is full of white lies. I got a letter from him once saying he would reveal the secrets of how he made £2,000 from a £10 bet. Very clever wording as it's not actually a lie. Everyone I showed the letter too (i.e. mother, gf, the ones that know nothing and are likely to pay for this kind of course) thought as Stanzione clearly wanted them too, that the bet was just £10. However, it was clearly £10 per point which would make the actual bet much larger than £10 (£10 multiplied by his distance to stop) and would need probably as much as £500+ margin to even take in the first place.

Con artist.

John Paulson's fund Paulson & Co is one hedge fund that is doing very well at the moment, his fund made triple digit returns last year by betting against HBOS, Llyods TSB, Barclays and RBoS.
There are always funds that do well in all market conditions just as there are individual shares that do well while most others shares end up sinking like a rock.


You gotta feel sorry for that guy in the clip you linked too. Brings it home exactly why you should diversify and cut your loses short.

You don't know that. He might have had a 1 pip stop on a tight spread. :cheesy:

There are ways to piggy back hedge funds. Not sure if £200 will do.

You have

Fund of Funds listed on the LSE. These are getting hammered at the moment so proceed with extreme caution.

There is a small range of OEICS/Unit Trusts which are managed on an absolute return basis. You need to understand what risks are being taken to generate the returns. Caveat emptor.

"John Paulson" ?... looks like all the Paulson's are "involved" in this big time )

Thanks for your comments so far. I won't pay for Stanziones advice because I don't trust him. Just wondering if anyone knew how to do what he claimed you can, by piggy-backing hedge funds.

Thanks fibonelli for your answer. I will look deeper into the methods you have given.
