Adding alternative investments to your portfolio
Private equity, real estate, hedge funds and commodities can be good diversifiers, but be wary of the costs.
YOUR financial adviser is suggesting adding alternative investments to your portfolio. What does that mean?
Most of your portfolio probably goes up and down together with markets. Maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less.
However, some of your more specialised investments, such as sector funds or country funds, might move a little more independently from the rest of your portfolio.
