3 minute read time

Over the past few weeks, we have shared our quarterly Economic & Market Outlook, followed by the individual outlooks for stocks and bonds. This commentary represents the final installment, where we'll provide our views on the highly diverse alternative investment landscape.

We generally consider alternative investments as anything other than publicly traded stocks and bonds or investment vehicles that invest only in those securities, such as mutual funds and ETFs. Alternative investments range from commonly understood investments, such as multi-family real estate (i.e., apartment buildings), to less conventional investments such as venture capital.
