Alternative investment funds – what, for whom, and why invest in them?

Often, due to their long investment horizon and high level of risk, alternative investment funds are only suitable for professional investors and, depending on the product, for certain non-professional investors who are considered to have a sufficient understanding of the fund and its investment activities. The appropriate target group of investors for a fund is determined on a product-by-product basis.

What is an alternative investment fund?

Alternative investment fund refers to an entity or other collective investment in which assets are raised from several investors and invested in accordance with a defined investment policy. An alternative investment fund can invest almost anywhere. Examples of alternative investment funds include real estate, private equity and hedge funds and special investment funds.

For whom is an alternative investment fund suitable?

Due to long investment horizon and high level of risk, alternative investment funds are only suitable for professional investors and, depending on the product, for certain non-professional investors who are considered to have sufficient understanding of the fund and its investment activities.

Why invest in alternative investment funds?

Alternative investments complement traditional investments and diversify risk. For the long-term investor, alternative investments can offer diversification, inflation hedge and an attractive source of returns.
