Hedge funds are not open to Joe public rather only the accredited investors. From wiki - "Generally, accredited investors include high-net-worth individuals, banks, and other large corporations,".

The high-net-worth bar is lower than you might think. $1m in non-first home assets or $250k in income. Your dentist is not necessarily financially sophisticated by virtue of their high wages.

Are there no listed hedge funds you can invest in and could you not just buy shares in LSE listed hedge funds?

Pershing Square for example is an obvious choice on LSE and is an arbitrage play as it looks like it will join the FSTE 250 and have to be brought by index funds.

In a larger sense, it's about persuading Joe Public that this activity is in any way useful.
