What are alternative investments?

Alternative investments are non-traditional asset classes that differ from stocks, bonds, and cash. They can include a wide range of opportunities such as real estate, commodities, hedge funds, private equity, and even cryptocurrencies. Alternative investments can provide diversification to a portfolio, potentially offering higher returns and lower correlation to traditional investments. However, they also tend to be less liquid and more complex than traditional investments, requiring a higher level of expertise and due diligence from investors.
