Studies show that many large institutional investors have more than 50% of their portfolios invested in so-called “alternative investments” and less than half of their assets in traditional stocks and bonds. Most individual investors, on the other hand, have little or no exposure to alternative investments which may help diversify their portfolios and reduce risk.

Many individual investors only think of alternative investments in narrow terms such as gold or real estate, but there are dozens of alternative investments that are available today which allow retail investors to invest like institutions. In this report, we will illustrate how many large institutions allocate over half of their assets to alternative investments and how you can access similar strategies.
