Video: Alternative investments explained

clock • 1 min read

Partner Insight: Introducing the Architas education series for clients.

Working in partnership with advisers we want to help your clients understand what they're investing in.

We have produced this video for you to use with the section of your client bank who may want to know more about alternative investments, and the role they can play in their portfolio.

We discuss the types of alternative investments available, the lower levels of correlation they have to traditional asset classes and how exposure to the asset class can potentially generate a regular, stable income whilst protecting their portfolios against the effects of inflation.
