Non-Traditional Assets, also known as Alternative Investments, have traditionally been found predominantly in the form of non-traded and illiquid funds. Today, many strategies previously found only in the illiquid part of the investment industry can now be accessed through various liquid fund structures, such as ETFs, Closed-end Funds, and Mutual Funds.
With the pace of change seemingly accelerating with every passing year, having liquid investments is more important than ever. In the face of macroeconomic fluctuations, government regulations, and monetary policy that change with every election cycle and passing crisis, we maintain a strong preference for liquid forms of non-traditional assets. These non-traditional assets can take the form of precious metals, infrastructure, real estate, cryptocurrency, and hedged funds that strive for downside protection and modest long-term returns.
