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.
