ALTERNATIVES ENTER THE MAINSTREAM

Alternative strategies could represent an extraordinary growth opportunity, with accessibility expanding at a time when global markets increasingly test the limits of traditional asset allocations. By targeting unique strategies, alternatives could boost portfolio resilience and risk-adjusted return potential. Increasing exposure to alts is among today’s investor priorities in achieving long-term goals.

ENHANCED DIVERSIFICATION

Alternative assets could provide differentiated and often uncorrelated sources of income and return versus traditional public stock and bond markets.

ADDED RETURN POTENTIAL

Private markets encompass a broader investment universe, with customized strategies that could be tailored to unlock greater value for long-term investors.

REDUCED VOLATILITY

Often infrequently traded, private investments could offer an “illiquidity premium” for locking up investor assets while reducing volatility due to fewer price swings.

ADVANCED RISK-ADJUSTED RETURN CAPABILITIES

Alternative strategies with exposure to private markets could amplify return potential with less volatility than traditional equity and fixed income allocations.
