Hedge funds are opportunistic pools of capital. Like venture capital firms, they exist primarily to make a buck, only hedge funds play primarily in the financial markets. Real estate firms exist to make money using real estate. Banks exist to make money using loans. Finance exists to make money. By design, it doesn't care about real value.
