While many large institutional funds such as pensions and private endowments have historically allocated a larger portion of their portfolios to alternative investments, access to alts has become more readily available to individual investors. <\/p>\n

Some alts are available to the average investor, others are only available to \u201caccredited investors\u201d who have a net worth exceeding $1 million or personal income of $200,000 or more per year. Many alternative investments have high minimum investments and complex fee structures compared to mutual funds and ETFs, which also often limits investment to higher net worth individuals.<\/p>\n

Alternative investments often have more limited liquidity than conventional investments, and valuations may be infrequent due to the lack of open market transactions. Many alternatives allow for some level of redemption \u2013 often with a fee \u2013 but investors in alts must be prepared to hold their investments for the long-term. In exchange, they often benefit from strong risk-adjusted returns.<\/p>\n

Alternative investments are investment options that differ from traditional asset classes such as stocks, bonds and cash. They are called \u201calternatives\u201d or \u201calts\u201d because they provide investors with alternatives to the traditional investment avenues.<\/p>\n
