Alternative Investments
Unlock diversification, enhanced returns, and income potential
Expand beyond traditional stocks and bonds by incorporating alternative investments into your portfolio. These investments offer diversification, income generation, and the potential for higher returns, helping you navigate today’s dynamic market.
What Are Alternative Investments?
Alternative investments include real estate, private equity, private credit, infrastructure, commodities, and hedge funds. Unlike traditional assets, they often have a low correlation to public markets, helping reduce volatility and enhance portfolio stability.
Key Benefits:
Diversification – Low correlation with traditional markets reduces overall risk
Enhanced Returns – Offers potential for higher performance
Income Generation – Provides consistent cash flow from real estate, private credit, and infrastructure
Inflation Protection – Assets like real estate and commodities hedge against rising costs
Common Alternative Investments:
Real Estate – Income-generating properties, development projects, and REITs
Private Equity – Direct investments in private companies and startups
Private Credit – Non-bank lending for stable, higher yields
Infrastructure – Investments in essential services like transportation, utilities, and energy
Commodities – Natural resources such as oil, gold, and agricultural products
Hedge Funds – Actively managed strategies seeking absolute returns or diversification
Redefining Diversification
Why Traditional Portfolios May No Longer Be Enough
The 60/40 stock-to-bond portfolio has long been a standard investment strategy, but market challenges highlight the need for alternative sources of returns and risk management:
Stock Market Volatility
Public markets can be unpredictable, increasing risk exposure
Low-Yield Environment
Bonds may not provide sufficient returns for long-term growth
Changing Economic Cycles
Alternative investments adapt to diverse market conditions
By incorporating real estate, private credit, hedge funds, and infrastructure, investors can optimize their risk-return profile, mitigate volatility, and preserve wealth.
Finding the Right Alternative Investment for You
Aligning Investments with Goals
Alternative investments generally fall into three categories based on investor objectives:
Alpha (Enhanced Returns) – Enhanced returns over a given benchmark
Income – Higher income compared to public markets
Diversification – Low correlation with traditional public markets
Understanding the Risks
While alternatives can improve portfolio performance, they often involve lower liquidity, longer investment horizons, and complex valuations. For long-term investors, the potential benefits may outweigh these risks when structured effectively.
A well-balanced alternative investment strategy should align with your financial goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon.
