The Worst and Best Alternative Assets to Add to Your Portfolio Today
What role could alternative investments play in a modern portfolio?
In this presentation, Austin Root, Chief Investment Officer of Stansberry Asset Management, shares the firm’s current outlook on alternative assets and where investors may find the most compelling opportunities today.
Austin explains why many investors allocate to alternatives in pursuit of stronger risk-adjusted returns, and how the right mix of assets can potentially improve long-term outcomes by reducing correlation and portfolio volatility.
During the discussion, he also examines several areas of the alternatives market investors may want to approach cautiously right now, including concentrated alternative allocations, interval funds with liquidity constraints, and new venture capital or private equity investments in the current environment.
Austin then outlines several areas Stansberry Asset Management believes may offer more attractive opportunities today, including:
• Private credit, particularly in niche areas of residential real estate lending
• Gold, as a portfolio diversifier and potential hedge during periods of market uncertainty
• Tactical Select, SAM’s strategy that combines deep fundamental research with quantitative risk management
Throughout the presentation, Austin emphasizes that alternatives are only one component of a well-constructed portfolio and should be considered alongside an investor’s long-term financial goals and broader wealth strategy.
