ABOUT US
Hillson Consulting is a boutique investment consultancy founded by financial services entrepreneur Richard Hillson. We seek to help facilitate access to alternative investments for investors and advisors through partnerships and education.

INTRODUCTION VIDEO
WHAT ARE ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS?
Alternative investments are anything other than stocks, bonds, or cash. They can include real estate, hedge funds, infrastructure, commodities, private equity/venture capital, and even art and antiques. This broad terminology can be problematic because it creates misconceptions surrounding alternative investments, including the belief that alts are only high octane investments, when they can actually be conservative as well.

WHY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS?
Sophisticated clients demand access to alternative investments. This provides a competitive advantage in the marketplace for advisors. Alts can also combat the fee compression "race to the bottom"; are less correlated to equity markets; and are often backed by real assets.
