Alternative Investments

Refers to investment in Hedge funds and other non-traditional investment types such as private Equity and Venture capital.

An alternative investment is regarded as an investment product other than traditional investments such as stocks, bonds, money markets and/or Cash.

Alternative investments include: commodities, financial derivatives, Hedge Strategies (or absolute return strategies), Real Estate and private Equity, as well as Venture capital. They are supposed to have very Low Correlation with traditional investment products. However, this definition may not be suitable due to a fast-changing investment environment, and should be re-considered over time.

Some Alternative Investment managers, such as Hedge Funds, cannot advertise or announce their performance under U.S. and European law. Most Hedge Funds or Private Equity Groups only accept investment from High-net-worth individuals or institutions.
