Key Takeaways

  • Alternative investments — real estate, private equity, infrastructure — provide diversification beyond stocks and bonds.
  • Illiquid alternatives historically deliver higher returns due to the illiquidity premium — you get paid for patience.
  • Due diligence on alternatives requires understanding the operator, the asset class, and the fee structure.
  • Start with a small allocation to alternatives and increase as you build conviction and relationships with operators.
