Frequently asked questions
Alternative investing includes varying investment strategies and styles used to achieve investment goals. Using sophisticated methods, alternatives can access all asset classes, including through hedge funds and private investments.
Traditional investing is primarily long-only investments in asset classes such as public equities and bonds. Alternative investments use a wider range of investment strategies, including long-short investing, hedge funds and private investments.
Alternative investments offer the potential for higher returns, greater diversification and wider access to investment opportunities than traditional investments. Notably, alternative investments can use leverage, which can serve to magnify potential losses. Additionally, they can be subject to increased illiquidity, volatility and counterparty risks, among other risks.
