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:

  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.
