Frequently asked questions
Diversification effect: Including Alternative Investments in a portfolio increases diversification. A study by Vanguard has shown that broader diversification can reduce the overall risk of a portfolio because different asset classes react differently to economic events.
Risk premiums: Alternative Investments provide access to specific risk premiums that may not be available in traditional markets. These additional sources of income can help improve the risk-return profile of a portfolio.
Historical performance: Analyses of historical data show that portfolios containing Alternative Investments tend to be more stable in times of market volatility. For example, many Alternative Investments performed better than traditional equity markets during the 2008 financial crisis.
Protection against inflation: Certain Alternative Investments such as property and commodities offer natural protection against inflation, which can reduce the risk of a real loss of value in the portfolio.
Long-term stability: Alternative Investments tend to deliver more stable returns over the long term. Studies have shown that they often fall less than traditional investments during volatile market phases.
Active management: Many alternative investment strategies involve active management and hedging techniques aimed at minimising risks and exploiting opportunities. This can help to reduce the overall volatility of the portfolio.
To summarise, the addition of Alternative Investments to a portfolio helps to reduce overall risk and increase the stability of returns through lower correlations, diversification effects and access to specific risk premiums.
