Investment vehicles are the numerous types of investment schemes (vehicles) that are designed to make your money move in the direction you want it to go, and grow, for future use. Your retirement funds, savings, and investments are already in investment vehicles. Choosing the correct investment vehicles for a portfolio requires a combination of astuteness, knowledge of the market, timing, and good luck. Many different investment vehicles exist, and each is subject to greater or lesser regulation in the jurisdiction in which it takes place. Ritchie Capital Management, LLC is a privately owned hedge fund sponsor. The firm provides its services to pooled investment vehicles. It invests in the public equity and alternative investment markets of the United States. The firm utilizes multi-strategies for its hedging investments. An investment vehicle may be rigidly structured, as in an asset-backed security, or it may be quite basic, like a stock or bond. One uses an investment vehicle in order to make a profit on the capital one has invested in it. An investment vehicle may involve the purchase of a debt obligation, which entitles one to repayment with interest, or it may involve buying an ownership stake in a business, with the hope that the business will become profitable. A variety of other services are available through National Bank Financial, all of which are designed to meet specific financial needs or strategies.
