While some mix of traditional asset classes is likely to yield satisfactory investment results for the average investor, we also look for non-traditional opportunities, commonly known as alternative investments, to put your money to work. These alternatives have the potential to lower the volatility of an otherwise conventional portfolio as well as to increase your current income.
Below is a list of the types of alternative investments we commonly utilize in our clients' portfolios.
Business Development Companies (BDCs) Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Managed Futures Private Equity Hedge Funds Equipment Leasing Long/Short Funds Market Neutral Funds Commodity Funds Oil & Gas Partnerships Exchange Funds
Alternative investments may not be suitable for all investors and should be considered as an investment for the risk capital portion of the investor's portfolio. The strategies employed in the management of alternative investments may accelerate the velocity of potential losses.
