Alternative Investments
Alternative investments are sometimes used as a tool to reduce overall investment risk through
diversification.
Some of the typical characteristics of alternative investments include:
- Low correlation with traditional financial investments such as stocks and bonds
- Alternative investments may be relatively illiquid
- It may be difficult to determine the current market value of the asset
- There may be limited historical risk and return data
- A high degree of investment analysis may be required before buying
- Costs of purchase and sale may be relatively high
We offer comprehensive training within Alternative Investments:
- Hedge Funds for the Advanced Financial Professional
The objective of this seminar is to give you an in-depth understanding of hedge funds, of the risk and return characteristics of their investment strategies, and of techniques for constructing and managing portfolios of hedge fund investments and replicating strategies.
