Alternative investments have become an increasingly important component of modern investment portfolios, offering investors access to return sources, diversification benefits, and risk management opportunities beyond traditional equities and fixed income. As access to alternative investment strategies continues to expand, investment professionals are expected to understand the characteristics, benefits, risks, and implementation considerations of these asset classes.
Introduction to Alternatives Investing is a one-day program that provides a comprehensive introduction to two major segments of the alternatives universe: Private Markets and Hedge Funds.
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
