Alternative Demand Set To Grow

Demand for alternative investments is set to grow by up to 46 per cent over the next 12-months, says a report from AssetTribe, an alternative investment platform connecting investors to a broad and diverse range of alternative assets. Its survey shows a positive outlook for alternative assets over the next 12 months with 53 per cent stating that their appetite for alternative assets will increase over the next 12 months while only 6.4 per cent said they would decrease. Key reasons for this growth include the current rate of inflation, an increasing need to diversify existing portfolios, and higher potential. Among high-net-worth investors, the survey found dramatic differences in the behaviours of the wealthiest participants who invested far more in alternatives than those with smaller portfolios.
