Alternative investments are increasingly available and the list of markets continuous to expand. Investors who diversify portfolios into alternative markets can reduce their risk of over exposure.

Antiques & Collectables

Antiques and collectables are fast becoming increasingly popular and profitable alternative investments. Many alternative investors buy into something they love – whether that’s Chippendale chairs or Laurel and Hardy memorabilia – so that they get pleasure from it even if it doesn’t increase in value as much as they’d hoped. Antiques and collectables can be short or long-term investments. You can invest by following some very simple golden rules that apply to almost all antiques and collectables. Best of all? You can invest anything from a
tenner upwards and still profit.

Anything to do with cars is often of great interest, and especially to many men. Classic cars often represent a more substantial investment than you’d expect to put into antiques, but they can generate equally substantial returns over time. The course shows how returns of more than 20 per cent a year are not unknown. Personalised number plates are another option which has proven to be very profitable in recent years; with investments starting at just a few hundred pounds. These can sometimes turn into thousands of
pounds if the right choices are made.
You’ll see in your course how you can
maximise profits and minimise risk.

An Exciting 10 Chapter Alternative Investment Course

One of the joys of alternative investing is that you can almost always invest in something that you personally love. This might include photography, music, wine, books, movies, celebrities, television and/or autographs – and these are all covered in the alternative investing course. Invest on a small-scale – paying perhaps a tenner for an autograph – or on a larger scale; putting thousands of pounds into a wine cellar!

Penny Shares

Penny shares are worth considering if you are a speculative alternative investor and don’t want to invest huge sums of money. Penny shares are cheap because they are mainly in small, new and often innovative companies. They’re also very volatile, often rising and falling quickly on gossip and speculation. Alternative investors buy into these investments to add some range to their portfolio. This is covered in the course. For many alternative investors, these are fun investments similar to putting a tenner on a long-shot outsider at a race meeting. A lot of the time, you may not win but, when you do, you get a terrific return!

Investing in Property

As anyone who has bought property during the past 25 years will tell you, property has gone up in value manyfold over that period. Too many people think of property as simply being their home, rather than as a possible investment opportunity. But it can be the best alternative investment of all, if you know what you are doing and view it on a long-term basis. This part reveals what you need to know about investing successfully in property.

Investing Overseas

When UK stock markets and investment opportunities are in the doldrums, many alternative investors look overseas for money-making opportunities. They do this in a variety of ways. They can buy into a unit trust, investment trust or other collective investment that’s managed in the UK (so it is covered by UK legislation) but invested overseas (where there may be more investment potential). Alternative investors can also invest directly in overseas investment products whether by going through a UK broker with overseas experience and contacts, or via an overseas broker in the particular country.

Options & Futures

Options and futures are two, broadly similar ways of profiting from a variety of financial markets and these are often used as part of an alternative investment strategy. Alternative investors who are looking for more speculative and exciting investments also consier two or three other, often overlooked alternative investments - futures, options and corporate bonds. These are often considered together as they are three investments which can be bought and sold through a broker. A good broker is essential if you are to invest - or gamble! All of these exciting strategies are explained in detail within the course.

Miscellaneous Investment

The range of alternative investments that are really available are almost limitless. Mix and match and put together an alternative investment portfolio that suits you precisely. Second-hand policies – traded endowment policies or TEPS – can generate some safe and steady returns and are suited to both big and small investors, and short-term and even long term. You’ll find out more about these and other alternative investments in the course. The beauty of alternative investing is that there are just so many alternative investments out there waiting for you!

Little Known Property

There’s more to profiting from property than that regular buy-to-let income and the final, capital appreciation jackpot! Savvy alternative investors know that they can also profit every which way from other sorts of property-related investments. Several in particular are well worth considering. There should be at least one or two alternative investments introduced in this course that will appeal to you!
