Those numbers become even more impressive when you think about the fact that a hedge fund can only have a maximum of 100 investors in it. This means the average person who invested into the JP Morgan fund invested over $535,000,000.

And that is assuming that the fund has filled all of their 100 available seats. If they only filled half of them for instance the average investor would be investing over $1 Billion dollars into the fund. Very surprising indeed even if they are only for “Accredited Investors”
