Financial Advisers are Looking for Choice
A recent study conducted by the Journal of Financial Planning and FPA has found that over 28% of financial advisers are searching for alternative asset classes for their clients.
The survey contacted Australia's leading financial advisers who provide investment services or recommendations for their clients.
Traditional asset classes have long been pushed by advisers and are considered safe by both advisers and clients.
Traditional Investments
Traditional asset classes include:
- Cash
- Stocks
- Bonds
These traditional asset classes are known for offering clients returns over time, however have proved to be volatile in nature due to their unpredictability.
However, as stated, financial advisors at the behest of their clients are currently back on the market shopping for alternative investment methods to put forward to their clients.
Alternative Investments
The seven main categories of alternative strategies include:
- Private Equity: Involves investing in privately held companies, which encompasses venture capital, growth capital, and buyouts.
- Private Debt: Comprises loans funded outside of traditional banking channels or traded on non-traditional markets.
- Hedge Funds: These are investment funds that actively trade assets and employ diverse strategies to generate returns, such as long-short equity, market-neutral approaches, volatility arbitrage, and quantitative methods.
- Real Estate and Infrastructure: Encompasses a wide range of assets, from office buildings to telecommunications infrastructure.
- Commodities: Focuses on tangible assets, primarily natural resources, including agriculture, metals, oil, and natural gas.
- Collectibles: Involves acquiring and preserving physical items with the hope of their appreciation in value, like cars, jewellery, wine, coins, and artwork.
- Structured Products: These are financial products typically designed by investment banks utilising fixed-income markets and derivatives. Examples include credit default swaps and collateralized loan obligations.
