This tried and true formula may not be enough in the current environment, and Alts may provide the much needed lift advisors need.
The traditional 60-40 balanced portfolio has a long and storied history in the world of investing. However, in the current environment of low yields, elevated valuations within the equity market, double-digit inflation, and the many uncertainties around the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the wealth management industry is looking for new ways to diversify. Could alternative investments prove to be the solution? Do illiquid strategies like private real estate, private credit, cannabis lending and digital currencies have a place in client portfolios?
Join us at the RIA Institute as our panel of experts explore and debate some non-traditional opportunities that are available to bolster investment returns in the current environment.
