The Future of Alternative Investments: Data, Technology, and the Role of AI

The Future of Private Markets: Data, Technology, and the Role of AI

A practical guide to discussing alternative investments with clients. It provides language, frameworks, and strategies for explaining the rationale behind alternative investment allocations, while addressing common concerns around liquidity, fees, risk, and transparency. 

How to Talk About Alternative Investments with Clients

With unfamiliar structures, limited transparency, and multi-year lockups, alternative investments are often perceived as opaque, inaccessible, or excessively risky. These perceptions have historically discouraged advisors from engaging with the asset class despite compelling evidence that, when understood and implemented correctly, alternative investments strategies can enhance long-term performance and portfolio resilience.

Risk, Liquidity, and the Myths of Alternative Investing

To participate meaningfully in alternative investments, advisors need more than enthusiasm—they need a clear operational understanding of how capital is committed, deployed, and returned. The GP/LP structure, the lifecycle of a fund, and the unique return drivers of equity and credit strategies all influence how alternative investments behave within a client’s broader portfolio.
