Alternative investments offer the promise of diversified returns, to balance your portfolio without stock market volatility.
If you haven’t heard about alternative investments, you most likely will soon. Alternative investments, or ‘alternatives’ for short, are projected to grow 59% by 2023, reaching $14 trillion in assets globally.1
But what makes an investment an ‘alternative’ investment? In simple terms, alternatives are investments (usually funds) that are not publicly traded or publicly accessible, like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Examples of alternative investments include Private Equity, Private Debt, Long/Short hedge funds, Market Neutral and Merger Arbitrage strategies.
