Alternative Investments Hit 16.5% Growth In 2014
Alternative investments continue to boom in the global financial market as they hit a massive growth of 16.5% in 2014. According to eVestment`s Alternative Fund Administrator Survey 2015, total alternative assets under administration (AUA) stood atUSD6.862 trillion last year, which was significantly higher than 2013`s USD5.873 trillion. The growth was reportedly spurred by private equity and real estate funds AUA, which were up 23.7% year-over-year for a total of USD1.580 trillion, according to financial news site Hedge Week. eVestment`s study further highlights that the transition of in-house to outside administration was triggered by regulatory burdens and investors` call for additional level of transparency. Such growth is no longer new in the industry. According to the founder and CEO of an online brokerage platform for alternative investments Michael Raneri, portfolio allocations to alternative investments have been on the rise for several years now. \"Institutional money is moving to alternatives, and high-net-worth individuals and their advisors are now following suit,\" he explained. In his article published in Forbes, he emphasized that this trend will further enhance the market in 2015 - even better than the previous year`s. Some of the driving forces that he mentioned include volatility, more accessible private placements, the need for diversification, and the growing demand for non-correlation. Volatility, covering the unpredictable catastrophes that affect the market such as the turmoil in Ukraine and cotizacionbitcoin.info Middle East and economic instability in Europe, has threatened investors more than ever. Because of this, investors are now hungrier for security. This is where good inflation hedge and diversification of alternative asset classes come to rescue, according to asset management research site Macroption. \"Their returns show low correlations to traditional asset classes like stocks and bonds and therefore adding alternative investments to a portfolio can reduce volatility without sacrificing part of return,\" the site reported. The increasing demand for low or even non-correlation may also root from demographic changes, per Raneri. Today`s retirees or near-retirees have now learned from the 2008 global financial crisis. To avoid risks to principal in any case interest rates spike up, they keep some assets in their portfolios that are non-correlated with standard asset classes. \"Alternative investments - particularly liquid alternatives - may be just the ticket for this group,\" he explained. To maximize the benefits of alternative investments, it is advisable to seek some assistance from a reputable finance services firm, which has a proven track record in meeting the special challenges of funds invested in multiple-asset classes.
