Alternatives
Alternative investments are distinct from traditional asset classes and can include real property, infrastructure, hedge funds and private equity. Alternatives cover a broad spectrum and tend to be more complex, but their unique characteristics can serve multiple purposes - including growth, income protection and diversification - in portfolio construction.
Alternatives can have lower correlation with traditional investment markets, potentially reducing portfolio volatility.
While some alternatives are less liquid than shares or bonds, alternatives may compensate by delivering higher long-term returns.
They may provide greater diversification and more consistent returns when added to a portfolio of traditional assets. Some alternatives, like gold, may even hedge against inflation.
