Exploring investment opportunities with alternative funds
Post date: Jan 19, 2021 10:24:3 PM
Scott Tominaga, through his organization, PartnersAdmin, has offered many investors the best investment solutions, with the use of technology as well as industry know-how when it comes to finance. In this blog, he shares his thought on alternative funds. Alternative funds are typically mutual funds, or exchange-traded funds (ETFs), that are focused on non-traditional securities like real estate, commodities, and leveraged loans. Investing in these is more attractive to investors who wish to reduce volatility and realize improved returns. One of the common things that such funds invest in is real estate. Specifically, the investment is focused on land, including anything permanently fixed to it like buildings, as well as commercial and corporate facilities. Scott Tominga shares that this is done through direct investment, partnerships, or real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Funds of this sort may also be invested in real assets. These are defined as tangible assets that derive their value from their substance and physical properties. Investing in public and private infrastructure, natural resources, precious metals, and commodities, would fall under real asset assets. Finally, these funds may also be invested in infrastructure, or basic physical systems that are owned and operated by government offices or government-owned and controlled corporations. Examples of these are projects in transportation, communications, water and sewage, and electric systems, or virtually anything that is vital to economic development. The discussion on alternative funds is not limited to these examples, as there are more that Scott Tominga promises to share in future blogs.
