What are Alternative Investments?

The term 'alternative investments' most commonly refers to investments in hedge funds, which aim to achieve a yearly absolute, positive return, even if the equity and bond markets are falling. The belief underpinning all forms of alternative investment strategies is that there are many ways to achieve capital growth in all markets.

 

Alternative investments have a distinct advantage over traditional investment approaches in which fund managers focus on beating a relative benchmark, such as a sector of the S&P 500 or FTSE 100, which may itself be falling.

 

Managers of these types of investments have the flexibility to trade different asset classes and financial instruments, while employing a variety of investment strategies, styles and techniques in diverse markets. Their success depends on the skill and expertise with which they use their range of techniques and tools to generate gain and protect capital, whatever the market conditions.
