There are several differences between mutual fund (MF) and hedge fund (HF),
1) HFs have wider range of investment product and asset class in which MFs are not allowed due to regulatory requirements. HF allows to trade derivatives contract, leverage, short selling and etc. It can also move around different asset class (i.e. debt, equity, commodities and etc) where MF is only allow to invest into predefined asset class.
2) HFs can also have more concentrated investment where MFs are not allow (i.e. the limit of a single position for a mutual fund is capped at a certain percentage, usually 10% for most countries)
3) Fee tend to be higher than MF as it normally have a special performance fee or incentive fee for the fund manager when it generate positive return. MFs have no incentive fee.
4) HFs tend to be less liquid then MFs. It tend to have monthly or quarterly redemption cycle where MFs are usually daily redemption.
5) More flexibility to the fund manager, i.e. higher active risk. For example, A Hong Kong mutual fund, if the fund manager see market going down, they cannot sell all their stocks but only limit the loss by switching into more defensive stocks (i.e. utility stocks and etc). For a HF, they can sell all equity position or even short the market.
6) HF can do leveraged trades or hedge a currency where MF cannot.
