A fact about the Meltdown of 2008:
While the world was awash in economic chaos over fears entire countries could go under and when the populace panicked because almost every market sector was significantly down, there were investments that finished that terrible year solidly in the blackincluding some alternative investments.
From volatility to globalization to a record low interest rate environment, alternative investments may have a place in this post-meltdown period.
In Generation Alt: The New Movement in Alternative Investing, Clifford Jack explores the increasing interest and strategic use of alternatives as a way to help manage volatility amid now-commonplace market swings. He demystifies the alternative asset class, identifies several portfolio strategies, tools and techniques while educating the reader in a colorful way.
Generation Alt is for a new era of investors who understand that time is money and that packing up their portfolios and heading for the sidelines to escape volatility is not going to help them achieve their long-term goals. If you're looking for ways to stay focused on your financial goals in this new economic climate, you're invited to open this book and join the movement.
