Alternative Assets

An introduction

Welcome to the world of alternative assets. Let us be your guide.

There’s never been such ease of access, and such diversification to alternative investment opportunities – both locally and globally. For investors, this opens new opportunities, but also creates more noise and confusion – and a greater need for reliable, trusted perspectives.

What are alternative assets?

An alternative investment is a financial asset that doesn’t fall into one of the conventional investment categories. Examples of conventional categories are cash, bonds and stock market investments. Alternative investments can include private equity or venture capital, hedge funds, art, technology, and even cannabis.

Who should invest in alternative assets?

We believe alternative assets should form a percentage of every balanced portfolio. But with investment comes varying degrees of risk. We’re here to help you do your homework, and best understand investments into these asset classes.

How do you know which alternative asset class is right for you?

Which asset classes, and how much you invest, depends on a number of factors, and is completely determined by your portfolio, goals, investment style, appetite for risk, and amount you have available to invest. We’ll help guide you through these considerations.

It’s an exciting, ongoing challenge getting alternative assets to the market and reaching different audiences simultaneously. I love a good challenge!
