Overview

An enormous amount of wealth has been created and lost during the economic and financial market booms of the 1990s for people heavily invested during the bull market. High-net-worth individuals are increasingly looking to alternative investments to protect and/or further increase their wealth.

Alternative investments can be used to protect and/or increase assets from inflation. Protecting against market downturns, reduced volatility and risks associated with a portfolio of buy and hold stocks and bonds. "Alternative" investment programs seek the growth of capital during up or down stock markets so that investment results are non correlated or independent of the stock market itself.

These assets are considered "alternative" because, unlike traditional stock and bond investments, they generally seek absolute rather than relative rates of return. Although the returns can be impressive, high-net-worth individuals often choose alternative assets for reasons that are not strictly return related, but believe that it is an appropriate way to provide for non-essential lifestyle choices, descendants, and charities.

Private investors who have amassed considerable wealth are no longer preoccupied with meeting their own lifestyle expenses. They can turn their attention to providing for succeeding generations.
