Alternative Investments

Why investors look to allocate to alternative investments

Alternative asset classes can be incorporated into a wide range of investment strategies, styles and risk profiles. This gives you many options to build a portfolio to suit your investment needs — whether you’re looking for new sources of returns or simply want to diversify away from traditional listed equities and bonds.

Alternative investments provide an opportunity to guard against the volatility of equities, hedge against inflation, and achieve better returns. Hedge funds can provide a great way to diversify out of equities without sacrificing returns. Private equity investments aim to attain a significantly higher rate of return than publicly traded equities. Real assets, such as infrastructure and real estate, seek to provide similar benefits alongside a measure of protection against inflation. The impact investing market offers diverse and viable opportunities for investors to advance social and environmental solutions through investments that also produce financial returns. Our global scale and resources can help you access all types of alternative investments, tailored to your needs.
