The case for Alternatives
For investors, alternatives may provide effective solutions to current asset allocation challenges offering potential for attractive income streams and exposure to many emerging areas of secular growth.


Core asset classes are expensive
Valuations for equities and bonds have been persistently high, driven by extraordinary monetary and fiscal policy. Estimates for future returns are now lower, with limited scope for liquid replacements.


Current market dynamics
The uncertainty around valuations, inflation and interest rates highlights the need for a multi-layered approach to portfolio construction.


Diversified performance drivers
Investors have long relied on the natural diversification of portfolios built around a core of equities and bonds. But could traditional asset allocation strategies fail to protect clients in future?


The game has changed
The range of listed alternative assets available to investors has grown enormously in recent years and market liquidity has significantly deepened.
