Investing in alternatives isn’t easy, but for us it is another way of making sure our portfolios are as truly diversified as possible. With bond yields having hit negative territory, investors globally face the prospect of materially lower investment returns unless they take action. For those using our model portfolios and funds, our alternative strategy is another part of our expertise that they get access to.
Unless you’re one of the guilt-ridden August eat-outers, carefully considered alternatives offer a more sensible way to invest, rather than continuing to rely solely on bonds for your diversification.
