Investment Podcast #17 - Alternatives (Private Markets)

Alternative investments are set to take off, as overpriced and over-concentrated equity markets force investors to seek new avenues to de-risk and seek value. In this episode, host James Whelan is joined by Sinead Rafferty from Fidante and Morningstar’s Vesna Peroska to look under the hood of a sector including Private markets, hedge funds, infrastructure, and property. Alternatives can play a range of important roles in a portfolio, including return diversifiers, uncorrelated assets, and tail hedges, and the panel explores how a wave of product development is making alternatives available to a broader range of investors than ever before.
