Many investors wish to invest in areas not as readily available in the funds of the major institutions. Their goal is to take advantage of the entrepreneurial qualities required to capitalise on evolving opportunities, while benefiting from the intellectual operational and financial resources available to specialist fund groups and managers.
Other benefits associated with alternative investment include potentially higher returns, reduced volatility and diversification resulting from low correlation with other investments. In some cases more liquidity is available than other investments such as property and venture capital.
The Investments shown in the Funds tab represent only a small example of the existing opportunities in the alternative investment market.
