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.
