They also offer great potential for high returns because they allow investors to choose from a wide variety of investment options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of these factors give alternative investments a higher potential for long-term performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\"><b>Portfolio diversification strategies<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the world of portfolio diversification, there are three main strategies to take into consideration:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Individual asset diversification.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This strategy focuses on investing in various assets in the same asset class; for example, investing in the\u00a0S&amp;P 500\u00a0market index. This helps ensure your portfolio contains an array of high- and low-risk stock options in varying industries.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>International market diversification.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This strategy takes things overseas and is particularly helpful when an investor\u2019s home country\u2019s market performs poorly, as they still have their international stocks to rely on, mitigating their risk of significant losses.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Asset class diversification. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This strategy uses diversification through investments across asset classes, which can include traditional investments and alternative investments. Alternative investments are particularly beneficial to add to portfolios thanks to how well they complement traditional assets.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>What to consider when diversifying your portfolio<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many asset types in the alternative investment asset group, each of which comes with its own unique characteristics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how do you decide which ones will work best with your portfolio? Here\u2019s what to consider:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Time horizon and liquidity<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The amount of time that investors expect to hold specific investments is known as a \u201ctime horizon.\u201d As you can imagine, this varies quite broadly and can be as short as a couple of hours and as long as several decades!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stocks, bonds, cash, and other conventional investments do not have set time horizons because they are considered fully liquid\u2014i.e., you can cash them out as soon as you need them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, alternative investments are quite illiquid. They also have longer time horizons, which are sometimes set when the contract is signed. Other time horizons are long because the investments are hard to sell or need a long time to gain value, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Hedge funds.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These are invested across different asset classes, which means their time horizons can be as short as a few seconds or as long as a few years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Private equity. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The time horizons are generally about 10 years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Real estate. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investing in real estate is a long-term game. There are no time horizons for individual real estate investors, but moving real estate investments quickly is challenging and heavily tied to market performance, which is why most experts recommend holding real estate investments for at least\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mortgageloan.com\/five-year-rule-and-buying-home-9690#Interest-payments-equity\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">five years<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Commodities and collectibles. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are two asset classes with long, flexible time horizons because they both need a pretty significant amount of time to gain value. Commodities and collectibles investors must watch the market carefully to know when is the best time to sell.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Markets and industries<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should choose investments from different industries and markets for a diverse portfolio. It\u2019s also a good idea to research industry trends for any private company you consider investing with and choose companies in industries that will complement each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For real estate investments, we recommend spreading out your capital among several types of real estate and\/or\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ark7.com\/blog\/property-update\/ark7-expands-to-chandler-az\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">geographic locations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\"><b>Risks and threats<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the main principles of diversification is spreading out investor risk. Alternative investments can provide differing levels of risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to remember that investment options with the longest time horizons are deemed less risky because they allow the market time to correct itself in the event of a downturn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if you invest in physical assets, like buildings or collectibles, longer time horizons can provide more time for the asset to be damaged, stolen, or lost\u2014adding more risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Final thoughts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternative investments are critically important for building strong, diversified investment portfolios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important that investors interested in this strategy take the time to understand as much as they can about portfolio diversification through alternative investments, including liquidity, industry, risk level, and market trends. This knowledge will help you choose alternative investments that mitigate the overall risk of your portfolio while increasing your returns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When used properly, these investments have the potential to greatly enhance an investment portfolio\u2019s overall risk-return profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Any good investor knows the saying &#8220;don\u2019t put all of your eggs in one basket&#8221;; that is, don\u2019t put all of your money into one stock or even one kind of investment.
