Most people stay with safe investments. Stocks and shares, maybe some property (usually their own home), a pension fund managed by some junior in the city and some savings. That’s all fine while the economy grows at breakneck speed, but what about when economies shrink? How risky do shares become? How safe is that pension and will it reach its 'target return'? What about savings? The interest rate plummets and savings begin to lose real value on a daily basis.

The alternative investment industry offers something for every investor; new or experienced, big or small, cautious or speculative. It is hugely diverse in its range and includes everything from antiques and collectables through all sorts of property (from houses to holiday let homes) to penny shares, options and futures. There are almost unlimited investment possibilities.

Alternative Investments

Antiques & Collectables

One of the greatest benefits of many alternative investments is their ability to profit in virtually ANY economic environment. Such investments have increased dramatically in popularity over the past 10 years as investors search for alternatives to traditional markets that are currently performing very poorly, with some exposed to the risk of extensive losses. The successful growth of THIS investment class thrives regardless of conditions such as a depressed stock market. Conventional stocks an shares have been challenged since 2008, whereas alternative investors have seen huge growth - such as 14% in green oil plantations and nearly 30% in bamboo plantations. The trick is to spread your wealth across these alternative markets to realise a jaw dropping return.
